Things have slowed down a touch with the car, I was let down by my mate who was fitting my springs so it doesn't look like they are going to be done before gti international :-(.

So I have H&R spring sat waiting,15mm spacers waiting and I'm waiting for my TMC to come (it better come tomorrow)

Car spec so far is

2013 cupra
Side skirts, spoiler
Led number plate bulbs
Led interior bulbs
Whiteline rear ARB
20mm rear spacers
Exhaust centre box remove to activate da DSG farts innit.
312 brake setup with yellow stuff pads and grooved discs

I've fallen out with my mate that takes my fancy pics and I'm not very good at it but here is a few I took today after a wash and coat of the good stuff

Not the best but I figured my readers ride was getting picture lite.

With the lights on auto in the day they are like that and are quite bright, you can see them on the boot lid of the car you are following but when the headlights turn on at night the drls do dim down but tbh they don't need to be that bright at night otherwise I think they would be detracting to other drivers.

One thing though, I want my cornering light turned off, bloody crap

1200 mile report on the cupra and the verdict is.....I love it. It's an absolutely brilliant car that gets looks all the time, it's a very smooth chilled out drive with the dsg and I enjoy driving again. I love the xenons, auto wipers and all the other gadgets I've never had in a car before its just soo good and I feel very lucky driving it. Fuel wise it's as good nearly as my old Leon lol, I'm noticing a difference mpg wise using vpower, going to work and back I'm getting 44-48mpg (on the trip computer) and 35-40 mixed and 150-160miles out of £20,I'm pretty impressed.

As I said before I was let down by my mate with the springs but I'm on at him to get them done.

TMC box... I'm not impressed at all and asked for a refund, other a week to despatch it (its still not despatched) despite me chasing it up on Thursday. Poor if you ask me.

In short I'm loving the Ibiza and hope to see some of you this coming weekend
