Edit,just re read your post,seems you may already have the controls and are only after the surround, you'd think the controls would come with the surround

Cheers for the links mate, I nearly bought the top one but it's been near on impossible to find a surround in good order.
The second two are local to me and I'm due to go have a look and will see what price he can do for a cash sale.
One was put up the other day for £60 complete but it had the heated seats logo on the control unit.
Lol that would have played havoc with my Cupra ocd

been loving the progress on your car for a while mate thought i would show some love![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
Thank you Ash much appreciated she's my little money pit haha, it's all good though least I've got something to show for it I guess
How's your motor going buddy?
Bit of an update
Changed my plugs, and cam follower last weekend both have been in for just over 8k
Also put a new schrader valve on my hpfp as you know my old one was a bit chewed up.
Upon removal of the coils and plugs it was clear to see slight oil on cylinder 4's plug shank and the tip of the coil.This is due to a leak on the rocker cover gasket.
Checked all bolts on the cover were to torque and four of them were under torqued and all four surrounded cylinder 4!
So now they are upto standard I'm going to keep and eye on it to see if the leak persists.If it does I've already got a new gasket and will fit it if need be it's an easy enough job
Other than that the plugs and follower were in good order with no alarm bells ringing
like a fool I forgot to take a pic of the follower but it was in perfect condition nonetheless I changed it anyway.
Next off I've purchased some new led number plate units so will get these in next week
Haven't cleaned the engine bay in a while so it was time to do that and fit the battery box
Goodbye cloth cover you are ugly
Noticed my intake was rubbing on the heat shield a little via the jubilee clip so I've modified it to allow clearance
time to get cleaning
Before
And some after pics
Happy with how she is coming along have a few more things to do under the bonnet next week so will update once done
Thanks all
Craig

Good little update Craig.
I always seem to talk myself out of buying the battery box as I think nobody will see it lol. They do look so much better though.
Need to give mine a bloody good clean as it hasn't been washed for about 3 months...been a bit neglected lately the old FR. Also think I'm gonna refit the standard airbox as I'm getting a bit tired of having darth vader under the bonnet haha

Thank you Dan
Been on my list of to do's for a while now it's straight forward to do just a bit fiddly if you know what I mean.
Having to clean mine twice a week at the min with the salt and mucky roads roll on better weather lol
Perhaps a silencer delete will help soften the noise mate? When I only had the Revo induction without the BCS it was mega loud but now it's spot on.
Thank you Alex
Yes just tying up loose ends now before she's back at R-Tech
Glad I've got rid of the battery bag it was annoying me lol just cut it off as then I thought no turning back haha.
Noticed on FB you got the pcv delete kit how did you find fitting?
That breather on the block looks a bitch to get at I'll remove the DV when I fit mine to help get at the connector.
Ah fair play, be good to see the results, always tempted to swap to r tech map.
It wasn't too bad to fit, more so getting the pipes in a nice position without kinking as they are quite firm. Front pipe I took dv and dv housing off, the little bracket the holds the dv housing to inlet. Then used a 90 degree pick to hook the tabs off the pipe, fairly straight forward. Took about two hours to get it how I wanted but still need to do something with my heatshield as the rear pipe fouls it

I'm going to vent to atmosphere with the two pipes dude have you done the same? Or catch can?
Yes was thinking just remove DV from the throttle pipe like you did. No way I'm getting at it without removing bits.
If you can could you send me a few pics on where you have routed the pipes so I can see if I'm on the right track that would be much appreciated mate.
I'll send you a FB message so you know it's me
