Full genuine major service kit bought and Leon Cupra top mounts as mine are ready for the bin, supposedly 20% stiffer too.  Unbeatable prices from Davey at SERE Belfast once again, smashed TPS and dealers quote!!  

If anyone needs anything vag part wise (mainly Seat) give him a shout on 02890 385336.  He also posts a lot of stuff across the water to the SeatCupra.net boys!! Best prices around.

Thanks man, havn't decided what what route to take with it yet, tempted by wheels and coilovers in the near future but may just go for more performance instead

Updates so far are a set of fitted mudflaps, new plate surrounds, pressed plates and a black front VW badge. I also fitted factory style xenon projector headlights with a 5k Hid kit last week. Really freshens up the front end and looks totally oem, very impressed with them.

In for a full major service today including new pcv and diverter valve.


Here are a few pics from the trip from Larne - Derry/L.Derry to collect my mate's new Clio 182. Was a good run!

Thanks fellas

Have only had them on the one setting and they are set to firm atm.  Handles great and rides fine although small pot holes have to be dodged!
So far very impressed
