sweet looking car mate, shame about the first one, but things can only improve which you have done 
Small update 13.01.09
Ive started to change my fmic charge pipe work from the really soft pro supplied kit to hard pipes and better silicone,
Before
And after
Working my way around slowly, also change all the DV pipe work for uprated silicone 25mm and hose joiners looks abit nicer, will do the whole lot when i get some more money, also changed over to a 50mm core not quite on there how i want but this is tempory till i get some decent brackets.
Got some goodies for xmas rear strut brace and front lower (still waiting for that one as it was out of stock till late jan)
Finally got my 20mm spacers on the car with correct bolts supplied by bill @ Badger 5, Been thinking about where to go with the car regards turbo been looking at the backdraft kit GT2860RS top mount setup or IHI not sure what im wanting to do but i know the clutch is on its way out, want to get some coilovers,new alloys and bigger brakes. Decisions decisions

Small update on my cupra, first main thing the car has been keyed not once but twice all down the o/s wing door and rear quarter
just before that someone nudge the front end not hard enough to set the alarm off, but has managed to dent the bump strip and cracked the honeycomb grill on the inside where it bolts to the slam panel, also broke the 2 mounting brackets for the n/s headlight
while all this has happen i nearly got rid of the thing, wasnt happy how the car looked a mess on the body work side of it.
But for a while ive been collecting parts to take the cupra from stage 1 to stage 3, so far i have
Blueflame 3" D/P and race cat,
vibratechnic engine mounts,
some powerflex bushes,
managed to find a tubular manifold, should get it this week
ive also had my pro alloy frount mount fitted in the centre and fixed properly thanks to alex for doing that for me and making up the brackets, also finshed the charge pipe change over from the pro crap pipes to hard pipes and sfs silicone, next i need to do all the lower ones when i can.
