The USA cars have black caps (I had them fitted to my MK2 LCR) I will be getting a black cap to replace.

Starting to grow on me these mk3 Cupra's, by far the best colour I've seen so far I think.

Enjoy the car bud

I don't wanna sound like im dissing the MK2 just because I've got rid of mine.. but the MK3 is far superior IMHO.

Never the less I will miss the old LCR and I still miss the FR TDI

 

[betty_swollox]

Steering wheel looks so much better quality than the mk2

 

[AndrewJB]

It is and it isnt.. its thinner which annoys me a little

 

[Crafoo]

What are the seats like compared to the Mk2?

 

[AndrewJB]

Not as bucketed (I was impatient so didn't wait for the bucket option) but they are alot easier on the ass haha

 

[shnazzle]

The interior is such big jump ahead of mk2

 

[simonali]

Could I cadge the washer jet part number(s) off you, please?

 

[AndrewJB]

You heated or non-heated?

 

[simonali]

I'm guessing heated, as I have the winter pack?

 

[AndrewJB]

5M0955986C9B9 is the heated ones same as mine!

 

[simonali]

Just realised I can read the number quite clearly on the bag in the photo LOL.

Cheers, Andrew.
