So another update, of mega bargain finding proportions.
Won a pair of rear door cards/panels in black cloth to match the new interior I bought a little while ago. Had to trek to Nottingham and back for them but at 99p each they were worth it!
Fitted them today, I'm pretty happy.
Hopefully get some pictures tomorrow, it's too dark to do so now.
Saw tho9se myself, was going to bid but couldn't be bothered driving to Nottingham for just the rears
Yeah seems he is, felt minging giving him just £2 for a pair of door cards though.Yer one of my mates lol we were in redline together and I go most car shows with him he's a good lad
His Ibiza is a nice wee car.
For me the option was those, or a pair posted at £50... Decided to go and get them in the end. Works out having cost me about £25. I suppose as I already have front ones, it was more worth it.Saw tho9se myself, was going to bid but couldn't be bothered driving to Nottingham for just the rears
So not a lot happening just now. New pair of Bosch aero wipers fitted (I ruined them over the winter - my bad) and road tax paid, £71.50 and only ever going up! ![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
Got my largest ever range out of the tank though at 427 miles (40 mpg).
Quick picture I took on the way home, after a good wash

Minor update, fitted new genuine SEAT front brake pads. The old ones weren't ready for replacement but were squeeling and doing my head in. So not impressed with Pagid pads from ECP.
Another very sad update to come later tonight once I've loaded pics onto the laptop.

Came home for my lunch break today, wish I'd never bothered, as I returned to my car outside my house to find this damage:
Looks to me like it's been hit by a bicycle riding on the pavement. Hope the ******* that did it dies a slow and painful death.
Gutted, my once virtually imperfection free car is not looking so well anymore.

Looks like most of that will polish out. Still sucks that people can be so careless and not even have the decency to let you know let alone apologise!
That's crap Chris, hate reading things like this As Lawrie said though, most of that looks as though it will polish out.. Fingers crossed!
Your car does look really good though, shame it's happened to such a well looked after example

sickener lad, but looks like it might be ok. is that a dent in the first picture or is it just the way the light is catching it?
From what i can see i'd say a bit of T-Cut will have that out in no time.
If it was a bicycle then it will have just left the rubber on top of your paint and hope fully (touch wood) will not have damaged paint.
I HATE cyclists, use the road, dont obey road signs, or lights for that matter, ride on the pavement.
Then complain when they get cut up by you. Who pays the road tax? Us not them, they want to ride on the road they should respect the rules and limitations just like car drivers do.
Obviously i appreciate that not every cyclist is like this and most cyclists are also car drivers.

Not good buddy, not good! Hope you get that sorted asap!
As for the pads, i have pagid pads from ECP, they brake fine but they squeel like mental, thought it was just me, had them on around 8k now, had plenty of copper slip on them when they went on!

It's just the light or reflections. Only dent is where the rear arch meets the bumper, thankfully.
I don't mind cyclists using the pavement near me, it's the A34, you'd need a deathwish to ride on it... just annoys me when people are so careless.From what i can see i'd say a bit of T-Cut will have that out in no time.

Well I've got genuine pads in now, they brake better but still squeek
so that's £25 wasted. It must be the discs.I've been out with the DA and took a lot of the scratching out, but there's still paint missing in places and a dent.
Have also applied some undercoat on the damaged areas (as seen above), might have a go at touching it up myself.

Sorry to hear about the car mate...looks like youve done a good job tidying it up though.
Good work on the vinyl...you still owe me that or did you use it all?

No way this could have been a bicycle that left these marks, no chance.
A bike would leave a mark from the pedal for a start, and the mark round the wheel arch doesn't make sense either...
If it was pavement side I'd put my money on one of these leaving those kind of marks...

Pictures!
Where did you buy the switches and trim (dont know what its called) from? I like it, good car man
Had a couple of quotes, one of £135 and another of £150 to sort the rest of the damage out. Sounds pricey to me!
Yeah still got the vinyl, need to get it back to you. Still a good chunk left, I've not used much. Might PM you in a sec.
We do occasionally see road sweepers going down the pavement where it happened! But whether one went past at the time I don't know.No way this could have been a bicycle that left these marks, no chance.

I'd love to know what has really happened to it.
Cheers mate. Got all the parts from the dealer, the red Cupra vent switch things are about £8 a set (of 4) from the dealer and the chrome trims are about £25 I think.Where did you buy the switches and trim (dont know what its called) from? I like it, good car man
Repaired
Some good news!
Had the car's damage repaired at the weekend just gone. Really happy with the results you can't really tell it's even been damaged.
Will get some pics up soon!
Also I've upgraded the headlight bulbs to Ultra Powerbulbs H7 5000k... they're supposed to be brighter than stock and whiter. They're definitely whiter but only as bright as before. Don't think they're quite 5000k either but they match the sidelights a lot better and for what they cost I can't complain.
