what have you done to your car today ?

[H Rafiq]

All done?
Happy with it?

All done, and very happy with it It’s what the car should have come with from the factory imo. Flys now.

He couldn’t turn the start/stop function off unfortunately though. Something to do with VW emissions. They’ve made it difficult to fully disable.

As did not hear anything from them in a good few days and I had a door release cable to fit I managed to sort the micro switch out so it works all the time

I’ve treated myself and got all 5 wheels painted.
Had 4 done 5 years ago when I got the car but had them powder coated and to be honest I’ve never been happy with the bright silver I went for.
The spare was left in it’s original colour but scuffed state in the boot with a very worn tyre on it.
So with a trip to Le Mans in a couple of weeks I thought I’d get the 5 done again this time including the spare.
Extremely happy with the result. He did 4 yesterday, leaving the spare till last to get an exact colour match.
A new matching PS4 tyre fitted to the spare and they all look amazing.

Seems wrong to keep this in the boot, should be hung on the lounge wall.
Maybe I’ll have a word with the missus.

Hanging on the wall with a disc and brembo behind it.

That looks nice

A pic of the car when they're fitted?

 

[Rich.T]

Thats a lot of tyre stickers.

They are fitted, but I’ll post a pic once I’ve washed and polished the car.
Gotta be clean.

That was in the wheel place.
There’s something quite cool about a tyre sticker wall. Lol

 

[H Rafiq]

You have a 280hp car that you're getting remapped.
The fuel economy ship has sailed surely

Managed to get average of 34.3mpg on a run from Stoke-on-Trent to Wolverhampton and back with the stage 1 Cupra 280. Which I didn’t think was too bad at all.

Ironically, last year was only the second time I’d put fronts on it in 5 years and 16,000 miles. The rears were still okay, just old so I changed the lot.
Only done 960 miles since last service in June last year so they are still new tyres.
Now the spare matches at least if I get a puncture out and about I can just whack that on and I’ll still have matching tyres.

Not had chance put it on rollers yet. Quoted 350bhp and 460nm. A local company mapped it. They work with Quantum Tuning.

 

[Rich.T]

Does it feel different?

 

[H Rafiq]

Yes, definitely. There’s more lower-end torque in gears too. It’s not night and day difference, but it’s definitely noticeably quicker.

Not so much the car but as I do work I really felt the need for a workbench. But I'm cheap and so took some pallets...

and made this...

It's a tad high at just over a metre from floor to top of the work surface, but lots of room to work at 1700x800 and stable enough (even with some shoddy cutting).

 

[MoToJoJo]

Oh, and with the money I saved (plus it was available at a very good price) I got this

Doesn't exactly match...

but that's okay, it'll go in a different vehicle (unless someone throws money at me for it)

Like it.
I used to be a joiner, currently building an extension at home.
I’ve kept all the pallets that stuff has come on. I was thinking along the same lines and make some bench seating in a corner of the garden.
