Well to be honest I am worried the clutch won't hold out for long anyway. and gonna buy a few things before a map goes on

@ 30k miles unless you pull in 5th & 6th or ride the clutch it should have plenty of life in even for a stage 1 map mate.

Chortle chortle 

Leaning towards gloss black.  Going to make the effort to get a carbon bonnet this year (and possibly tailgate  )

Am I best ordering new wings & then allow you to modify & possibly space an extra few mil along with the bumper arches to match?

[cupra_buzz]

Can we just swap :)

I think if you got a CF bonnet and boot it would feel like a complete waste of money Mike. (just IMO of course). The return just wouldn't be worth the outlay, id save the 1000 quid for V-power/trackdays/R888s.

Was dry all afternoon.  Decided to go out and try and get a feel / make a decision on the diff.  It starts raining...

If I put my foot down on the bend it seems to go wide before pulling back in.  Enough for me not to want to go quickly if someone was by my side / on the outside.

Perhaps its the cool temps & the 888s or the damp roads/888s?

It is strange isn't it mate, can't make my mind up if I like it or nit yet. I think it'll come into its own on a track tho!:D

Do you find it pulls you into / round the corner or do you too slide out / understeer first?

You should bring your car up to me and I will tell if it's working  your diff sounds odd to me
