If you can do it yourself you could lower your car for just over 100 GBP aswell...

-Or get 12/15mm spacers at the rear whick look way better.
-I got a facelift climatecontrol unit (leon FL/Golf 6 spec) which together with some panels also costed less then 100.
-HID kit is largely available for under 100
-Armrest!
-RCD 310 radio from all newer VW/SEAT/SKODA cars which is way better then the pre FL radio, you can get new ones for around 110,- here in NL. Will do with an new surround for 10 pounds i think.

Any more?

A couple of mtrs of black/carbon wrap and do the mirror caps, a and b pillars, plus anything else that's not already black/carbon

oh and some SCN stickers, adds at least 25bhp!

Is the Rcd 310 a straight swap connection wise. Also don't the facias come with straight edges. Necause the rcd has curved edges.

Yeah they are all quadlock connected so it will fit. You need the MFD/RNS fascia surrounding you would normally need for the MFD2/3 units. The curved edged shape is the one VW uses on its double din units.

I thought about a RCD310 because its very cheap, has good radio signal and also USB/MP3 connectivity when fitted a MDI unit. Ended up going the RNS510 route in the end but that was not on purpose..

MFD is just a different name for a RNS system, it stands for Multi Functional Display i think.

Anyway.. just read this thread http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=139255 for all your information. It applies for the RNS310/315 systems as well because they use the same shape (double-din format with curved edges).
The fascia surrounding you will need afterwards is also in that thread. If you want to know more about interior colour codes i could help you out but the basic information is in there!

I want the stickers, just can't figure out where to stick them ;)

I'm still babying my car as well, don't want any marks on it or anything! Still no eating in the car!

Clay polish sealant wax etc.
