Not to sure yet mate as the price of these cars vary so much now
Unfortunately mate it looks like thats going to be the case, i really don't want to unless circumstances change.
Fingers crossed for a change in circumstances then. You was just getting somewhere with the car so hopefully you can stick with what is a very nice example of a red LCR
Thanks James, just have to see what happens in the next few months so who knows 
Finally i have uploaded photos of when i got my tracking done and also of the front polybushes, nothing exciting i know but relevant imo....
Also a few pics of mine at the AMD meet last sunday.

I gotta agree with the other guys, its a beautiful looking car, and you've really put the effort in with it. I've got a standard (apart from a magnex cat back and induction) Ovni Cupra. Looking to do a bit to it. However I know I will never be able to detail the engine bay the way you have!
Kind words people, thank you
It has taken me just under a year and a lot of time and effort to get it where it is now and im nearly happy on how it looks and runs.

Update: I have finally got round to doing some repairs which were making me fall out of love with the car but now they are mostly done im enjoying it again!!
First up was the secondary water pump which stopped working, but its still not working after replacing it with a new unit so im still tinkering with it.
Next up was my loss of power recently, my TIP was some cause of this as over time it became loose from the turbo end, so tighted that up and also replace the MAF's sensor which was the main cause of the power loss. Now the car runs spot on.
Finally was my passenger door lock which decided to stay stuck shut for the past 2 months now, but replaced it today and wasn't really an issue fitting it either even in this weather!!
So all in all a very productive past couple of weekends and all done by myself as i refuse to pay labour for something i can do
Here are a few photo's anyway, nothing exciting though apart from the bottom pic....
Old pump ( lovely spot of corrosion )
New one on
Old v New MAF's
In the process of taking door lock off
Old v New
Added a Paul Walker tribute sticker as well. R.I.P Paul

Keep it going mate. Spring is around the corner...
Shame about Paul Walker. Not a nice way to go

Gave her a much needed Xmas/New years bath yesterday as it was way too dirty for my liking and almost turning black, and with someone with a touch of OCD things had to change.
Before.
After using just the Meguires shampoo. It already has lots and lots of wax on the bodywork so no more was needed this time until the spring.
I also had a customer that came into work yesterday and saying how bad AMD are, I just laughed at him and walked away. I know some people are entitled to their opinions but seriously go away!
