Give me a shout if you need a discount code/page for the Apple Store and can't remember it from the last time I sent it to you.

Might be interested in buying your OEM alloys driveforward.... Will they be up for sale? If so, are they damaged at all? Rough idea of price?
Cheers

My word, I hadn't seen this until you posted on my thread about binning the Cupra.
I am so jealous, let's just leave it at that!
Planning to do my ARDS test this year and then get out there. When either me or my bro has a bigger house with garage, we'll be having a track car. Probably not an Arosa Sport mind, but still. Your Arosa looks like an awesome project! If you need any experienced Arosa Sport test pilots, let me know

Prob is I can't book the Cadwell day until I master squeezing blood from stones (read: get a date for my cage fitment)
New Stuff Arrives!
The first of many deliveries arrived on Friday, one by Mr TNT as I was leaving for work and another by means of collection from the local stealer at lunchtime..
Here's all the stuff:
The obvious bit is the BMC CDA kit for the 1.4 16v from KAM Motorsport, the rest may or may not be so obvious
Today I have removed the standard airbox and all associated pipework and fitted the CDA. Although a straighforward job, it was more tricky than I had expected due to the lack of clearance for the bonnet and getting the hose fitted securely onto the inlet using one of the two supplied reducers. Here's a shot with the hard work done:
Where's the intake pipe going I hear you ask.. or maybe not. I wasn't happy with the feed coming from the top of the wheel arch, so decided to route to the front to get a nice supply of cold air:
As you can see, I cut a hole in the plastic in order to run the intake pipe down to there. This should provide a nice supply of air through the left grille next to the headlight:
All that was left to do was to tighten everything back up and put the engine cover back on, leaving me with the finished product:
As you can just see in the two pics below, I pushed the remaining reducer from the CDA kit into the hole that I had made, then fitted the offcut from the 90-degree silicon hose (once cut to a suitable angle) onto the back of the reducer. I then simply duck-taped the end of the BMC hose onto the silicon hose and it was job done:
Should the pipework ever need moving out of the way (manifold fitting etc), all I'll need to do is push the plastic reducer out of the hole, and then pull it back through when the other job is finished. You may also notice how I'm missing a jubilee clip from the right side of the CDA - I had to use this to secure the other end of the silicon hose onto the inlet. I'll get a clip and some padding for the tube to protect it from the vibrating engine shortly..
Another job I got done today was re-fitting the front wheel arch linings. I removed these to jet wash great wads of mud out from behind them, but discovered the right one was quite mangled when doing so. I now have a new lining for the passenger side and have re-fitted the drivers side lining (they don't weigh much!):
Tomorrow I'll attack some of the other new bits that I have collected from SEAT, many are boring, a few are interesting..!

I had an arch liner spare! Can't remember which side though...
And I know what that long thing is I reckon - I have one for my car too
The liner only cost me a tenner so not too bad. I need to create a spreadsheet to keep track of all of this!
What long thing do you have..!?
The thing in the white box or the thing in the plastic bag?
