Flexi as in brake line?

Yes the Flexi brake line the black part where the brake pipe from the car joins onto the the brake line from the brembo the metal tab inside the inner wheel arch was different on mine so had to file some metal away to get it to fit and use the slide clip to hold it in place

got luck and picked up full interior of a cupra 4R (2.8 v6 4x4 model) from the local car breaker. 120 euro for it all, a steal :) heated half leather cupra recaro seats, leather doorpanels, centerpanel, speed tacho, sideskirts, black dashcabin.

Now those are the seats I want in mine but sourcing a set in this country is basically impossible, let alone at that bargain price!
Serious parts envy right now.

not sure about the full leather seats, there are some matte places on the seats, i guess from the sun. i tried to polish them but they stay dried out no matter what.

Seriously seat envy right now but I would have a bit off a pain to make them electronically controlled lol and to think about it the middle would be a pain for me to keep clean in my job but still got seat envy

just wanted to ask for pictures. sweet man. thas a really nice combo, ive been looking for those but hard to find some good condition seats here from that time frame and the car is kind of a money pit. just bought the other leather for good price, so im happy i can sell them again and found better ones for a lot cheaper :)
