Yeah im hoping to get one soon, got 3 years experience as of the 16th and 3 years no claims since nov 11. Admiral seem to be working out cheapest!
Cannot wait, want a car with some guts!

As Ross said, I couldn't fault the standard brakes on my old FR. They done the job they were supposed to and I never felt them fade once (car was never on the track).
I can now imagine what the AP's on the Cupra are like though since I've got 4pot Brembos.. But even then I think I'd still be fine with lesser brakes.

Working my ass off to afford it all. & so by the looks of it I should find a low mileage TT and nick the brakes?? & get some brembo discs? & mintex pads??
It will be more than likely that breakers will sell it as a set i.e. Discs pads calipers and carriers.
So you can buy them all and put new discs on if you want, discs aren't expensive.
I've heard mintex are crap, also heard they are good, Suppose it's all down to preference!

tbh you'll be hard pressed to beat the oem parts on a 312mm setup, I went brembo and they are marginally better but not that noticeabley so, certainly not to the point were you can justify the extra spend

ah ok. well it will be a while yet with all the other plans i have for the bezza. most immdiate plans are painting the calipers, lowering the front end and more wrapping 
so after a day & a night in the garage on axle stands the bezza has painted calipers, very clean alloys, clean interior & a few more bits of carbon

Expensive cup holder?
Possibly think of black alloys & going for a stealth look, after seeing another black cupra on here with black alloys im starting to like the idea - opinons??

Oooo rasty! Must not have hit it too hard, I've heard badgers are can write off cars!
Bumpers with headlight washers are like hens teeth! May be a trip to the stealers for you! Keep your eye out on ebay, but I don't remember seeing one and I've been checking it for bumpers for well over 2 years now haha
