sorry to hear that dude, good job you had money to mod it as it looks like you will be spending some on getting it fixed. sounds familiar to me, saved for ages to get a respray and that the engine blew. spending all that money on getting it rebuilt now! lol
 
Just got a call from the SEAT garage, I'll be getting my wee cupra back tomorrow evening, and it's only costing 350 quid to fix, I was expecting a lot more than that so happy days :D
