Cars awesome mate, some very nice touches. How are you finding the joms? Also do you have a part number for the octavia struts?

the joms ride pretty good, a bit bouncy but in line with what the oem struts were,

everybody knows yellow is the fastest colour, lol

next mod i would like to do is door warning lights, maybe interior handle illumination, even mirror indicators, but all require cutting as there from a mk5 golf, as seat decided to do away with the door lights

heres a pic of the miror.

the led's are actually encased in plastic, the plan is to make a small doned piece of clear plastic to fit in the hole to make it level,

Hey jake loving the Cupra, can I ask how much it cost you to get the newer LED rear light setup?

Im looking into doing this @ the mo, was it a pain to code them in via vag-com?

Not too hard all you need to do is.

Get a facelift tailgate
Along with new handle
New inner trim
Change the wiring
Make part of a new loom
Pay ;£400 for the led lights
Then they can't be coded so you need fool the ecu
So real easy haha

Winter checks.

Oil and water
Screen fluid
New spark plugs

New pcv valve but they didn't send the new hose

I fitted it but the car ran pants so I'd say I do have a failed valve

Does the old one have a check valve?

Make sure there canbus lol

how EXPENSIVE are canbus rear Led light bulbs!!!! + it looks like you need to add resistors to all but the most expensive bulbs, in fact the the only canbus blubs i could find on fleebay are reverse lights and there like £20.00!!!!

Are resistors hard to fit?

Poly bushes arrived for the wishbone along with the correct pcv valve, hoping to get both fitted tomorrow,

I've found the superpro dog bone mount bush just need to check which one i have.

Then it's finding which Arb I have
