Cheers mate
Not alot happening at the minute
Going to Nurburgring next month so saving for that now
Other than that im looking for new wheels now
Really begun to hate the ride quality of the car just lately and i think its down to the 17" wheels with the 205/40 profile tyres.
Roads in my are are crap and its just bang bang all the time and its starting to do my head in now
Has never bothered me much but after having a drive with some 16's and 195/45 tyres the ride was a million miles better.
Same with my previous car, went from 195/45/15 to 195/40/16 and the ride quality was completely destroyed
Not sure what wheel yet though, maybe just standards in anthracite i think.

Small update
Mounted the horns a bit better today, Moved them and mounted them behind the headlight
Also trimmed a few of the intercooler pipes to reposition them a bit better
Next i need to cure the small water leak coming from the turb line but i need to drop the turbo down again to get to it.

Just thought heres a pic of the seats now they are clean
Before
After
What seats are these? They look really nice, suit my car down a treat!
there standar in cupras , blue,red,grey centers with the leather and there is a full leather but only came on imports
What did you use to clean those!!??
Just used autoglym interior shampoo and water
the grime on the seats was mainly from water marking, rain etc getting onto the seats, may have been why they came so clean lol
Small update time
Had the car in bits today (again!)
Half removed the turbo to redo the leaking oil and water lines
While im there i noticed the gear cables had melted even more than before, the last thing i want happening at nurburgring is problems with that.
So tomorrow im top mounting the gear shifter inside the car and running the cables through the bulk head to prevent any more heat damage!
Ill upload pics as i go along

What do you mean by top mounting them and running through the bulk head? Did you exhaust heat wrap the linkages?
Might not have described it very well, but see here

Alex from bdm also did it to his
I did try heat wrap buts its come loose somehow and it was pretty tight too
Think the main problem is my downpipe is touching the heat shield which wont be helping
Oh wow! That looks really good - I assume the gearknob itself sits a lot higher than OEM. Great idea though.
I just removed my first heatshied and then heatwrapped and cable tied the wrapping on nicely.

It does sit higher yer (from what ive read people say its in a better position for driving) but ill soon find out if it is or not.
Once i get a short shifter kit it will then bring it slightly lower than how the oem one is.

I fitted my downpipe/decat yesterday and noticed mine were doin the same so will probably be looking into this idea, i will see how you get on 1st lol
I topmounted mine Joe, puts the shifter in a much better position, got a few pics of it in my RR
page 12
Sorted my leaking turbo lines now
Also i top mounted the gear shifter today
I was skepticle at first but i now believe the people who have done it when they say its much better
I love it
Pics are on my mates pc where i did the car but i have a pic i took on my iphone
After i got the shifter from underneath and got the cables off the g/box
Ill upload the rest in the morning

It was fairly straight forward once started yer, exhaust etc was all of so was easy to get out
Hardest part was getting the cables back in the bracket on the gear box, the hole in the bulk head is pretty much the same place as yours, but it all works fine and is great
One thing im loving is i havent sealed the hole which the cables run through yet and im getting some serious turbo noise coming inside
Going to clean it up and paint gloss black and thats it!
