Hello all, I've been a forum member for a while, but this is my first post I believe. So, hello all! 
I am originally from Exmouth in Devon, but I currently live in Cardiff in Wales. I'm a Car Salesman by trade, and an idiot by nature.
So, lets crack on with my LCR! I bought it in July 2014 as a standard car on 69k from a fella up in Chester. It's now sitting on 77k after 1 year of ownership.
Since then I've added a custom 2.5 inch Turbo back exhaust, MTEC 323mm Dimpled and Grooved Discs, with uprated Pads, K&N Panel Filter,and Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
Originally, I was going to keep the car standard. However, when the original Exhaust fell off, when looking at replacements, it was cheaper to have one custom made rather than buying a SEAT part. So I went for it. Cheaper, better performance, and sounds nice. I also upgraded the Discs all round after my original ones became badly warped over a period of time.
The Exhaust has a lovely sound to it, but it's not ASBO loud, the Brakes are firm, full of feedback and are responsive. Also having premium tyres on the car compared to budgets I picked it up on are a dream. Much better in the corners, no more slidy understeer!
So, here's a few pics of my work. (Apologies for the bad camera quality. I have to use my Selfie camera, as the other one on my phone is broken)![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
When the Exhaust fell off
I don't have a picture of the new one, I'll take one soon!!
Brakes and Tyres
I've done lots of other maintenece on the car, like the notourious door seal stuff, sourcing some Cupra Mats, Lambda sensor, servicing, Engine flushing, Xenon lights, Bushes and other stuff.
I'll update with more pics and mods soon. Hopefully I'll have some exciting soon!
Cheers everyone! Comments welcome
