Dropped mine into the garage at 8.30 to get my Sachs organic clutch and Loba flywheel fitted :D

After some bedding in I can hopefully get back to enjoying the power without the nasty smell of disintegrating clutch!

Custom map, mate of mine runs a company called etune based out toward Falkirk.

Due to get it on the rollers for some figures/tweaking next week. Will let you know the results :)

Do let us know. I've got exactly the same car (well the same model and colour and age) and I'm curious to see what's possible. :)

The dealers will pass it onto an independant firm anyway won't they? I know for definite my local BMW and Land Rover garages do!!

Maybe worth trying to find out who it is and go there direct so SEAT don't get their cut.

My dads friend took his BMW in and BMW said £500 for two doors! He took it to the place they outsource the bodywork to and they said £300. Hefty profit on BMW's part for doing sweet FA.

Thanks Jarre my local seat have there own body shop and I have the paint warranty to consider but true about the BMW story when I owned one I took it for a quote for a bumper scuff and small crack they wanted a grand to fix it. Did some research and took it to a smart repairer about 500 yards from the dealer quoted me £90 all in and when I got talking to them it turned out they did all the smart repairs for the BMW dealer!

If you've driven the car away already I can't see how youd be liable for the repair costs???

Wonder if it's what would be submitted to Seat???

Same thing happened with the other halfs Mini, spoke to BMW and they said just ignore it.. I know its BMW not SEAT but i would imagine they all operate the same?

Woke up from the night shift & since it was not raining for a change I decided to gave the car a wash, snow foamed and for the 1st time used Valet Pro - Citrus Bling which finished the car of very nicely then finished of with some demon shine. New DRL led fitted :)
