Ah, the fast glass is for cleaning bird crap off paintwork! Believe it or not, it says its one of its uses on Autoglyms site. I would never use it for glass lol! The Gyeon glass cleaner is my current fav.

Took a couple of hours, but I was being really careful not to get water on anything. Then a further 5 to wash the exterior. LOL.

Looking at treating mine to an Eibach lowering kit for Xmas and stuck on wheelspacers, I read you’ve got 10mm front, looking on the H&R site, are yours the 10mm each side or 10mm across the front, I.e. 5mm each side?
And same question for the rear.

Wish mine had those rear lights, and mines newer than that one, better check the bank balance, again......

Yeah my 2010 R didn't have them lights either but you can add them in... I'm sure your bank balance won't like it haha

I take it those were on the car when you got it? If so, it makes me think this was my old Cupra R I sold in December 2016.
I say this because mine had a sunroof and they are I never saw another one with one while I owned the car.

Don't suppose the Original reg started with OV ?
