this is my mk1 cupra which ive had for about 2 weeks now, she is standard with full dealer history.

when i got the car it came with a boot full of parts like fmic/indution kit/catch tank/gauges, some of which i will be keeping but most of the stuff is no good to me.

future plans are just some small subtle tasteful mods and a remap.

i have fitted some wind deflectors to the windows at the moment.

Nice, few things to get sorted then! I prefer the pre facelift LC's, maybe I'm biased though!

so on saturday just gone "the motorist centre" sorted out the n/s cv boots.

i also decided to try and remove the hands free kit for the nokia 3310 that came with the car, i pulled out the OE headunit only to find a fm modulator hidden away, i plugged my phone into it only to find the audio quality on par with a old tape player, now i can see why it was hidden away. then i got bored and left the hands free kit in place....maybe another day when i can be bothered
