Installed a rieger rear diffuser.
Was a pain in the ass to get the stock diffuser off.
Looks very good.

Is yours hatch/sc or st. I installed the Rieger rear diff to my St300 and found that the oem rear diff was easy to remove it was the Rieger diffuser that was a pain in the arse to install especially the screw either end of the exhaust curve. Very difficult to reach. As you say though looks awesome. You need to put up some pics please.

I’ve got mine wired up to the cigarette lighter for the switched and something else for perm. It I get the voltage fault because of the perm live I’m using.

Any tips on which perm live to use would be appreciated :)
So my car is pfl so can't be sure supply will be the same. The only way to be sure is to use a voltmeter. I use f40 for ign. switched and f26 for perm.

Did nowt in my Cupra 300 but MrsMaypack decided to take me off for the day in her Leon Xcellence and she complained that the “Bubbling” on her car wasn’t up to recent standards and that she wants it back.

Bubbling is otherwise I own as Beading but she finds Bubbling is better.

Looks like I’m in for a day of detailing tomorrow

Vagsport V3 res delete pipe, RamAir turbo inlet elbow & silicone hose and a Pipercross foam panel filter...oh and my DTUK module with app control was delivered on Saturday too! Exciting times! Just waiting to have the car physically in front of me to check whether I need type 1 or 2 dog bone insert...

I removed the parcel shelf, boot floor and space saver wheel out to check if there is more noise on the MY19 Cupra 290. It worked, so much louder. I even heard a proper DSG fart or two but still can't seem to provoke it on will. The over-run pops and bangs are bloody loud, it's all drowned out a bit from the tyre roar but it confirms that the sound insulation seems to be improved on the new 290.

Thought I’d add in my first water beading pics. I don’t expect they’d win any awards but it’s the thought that counts.

Hello mate, is it possible you could link me to the steering wheel cover?

Hello, it was a custom job so unfortunately no link. Try contacting local interior and upholstery shop, maybe they can help you. Note that this is not standard black alcantara, it’s anthracite shade to match the seat covers and door cards.
Cheers
