Also added my fire extinguisher in the passenger footwell. Was struggling of how to fix it without drilling holes into the plastic, so used velcro which sticks to the carpet.

Cheers dude. Im trying not to spend anything yet until iv sold the cupra which is becoming a struggle :(

Coilovers are on the cards though...

Sorry to hear the sale isn't going as planned. I'm sure someone will snap it up. I saw the ad on pistoneads, looks a minter mate.

Coilovers are a good move :D

Climate isn't easy mate but nicely modded examples shouldn't command rock bottom price imo, for someone looking for a modified car from the off they save £££ this way. Is yours competitively priced given others for sale?

Exactly, iv spent quite a bit on modding it but i think it might be because of insurance reasons and only appeals to certain people unlike Fiesta's and Focus's which everyone goes for :(

Iv seen standard ones with 90k+ miles up for 2-3k :confused:

Stick with the price for a little longer mate. We haven't had brilliant weather much upto now for such things as going out to view cars at weekends etc. Bit more time and I reckon she'll go!

I dont know about that mate, im pretty so slow at stuff, you will probably be in the boot by the time i reach mine haha

Definitely coilovers next along with XXR 527's, then remap and clutch late summer.

Stunning example, the grills are a nice touch.

Ps, aerosol'd wheels are horrible and dry.
