Dont really have any plans for my car.
Bought it bout 6 months ago,



was fine for first week or 2 then was over heating so needed new water pump and fuse box on battery.

next thing was a service, needed a new window regulator and some brake pads, got some red stuff pads.

Only thing i have done so far was fit some rear mud flaps and some bonnet lifters



have been enjoying the car since i got it, managed to hit a pheasy one night and has broken my grill



have managed to damage drivor mirror at some point aswell



have just been on the phone to SEAT for some prices


goint ot order list of parts tommorow

new grill
ext temp sensor
driver stubby mirror
drivers seat trim cover
fuse box cover

also need to see bout getting boot lock sorted along with fixing a squeaky driver seat

not planning any modifications as such, just want to tidy it up and get everything 100%

here is some pics from weekend

































started to smooth airbox, need to get round to finishing it.





will try to update as i go along

Plans sound good, i'm sure you'll have it 100% mint. Get rid of the open cone though, heat soak no good (sure it sounds good though). Dynatwist gives a nice sound

Is that a Tape player? Would have thought they'd come with a CD player being the top model in all. Still a nice car though

Love it AJ!

Only thing i would do is get it on some coilovers, but then your's comes with seat sport struts so i dont know what the handeling is like compared to a standard cupra.

I wouldnt mind the handbrake and seat belts to go in mine, would match my red wonderfully.

Mines going into seat thursday to have new window regulator/motor fitted as the bugger packed up the other day, just what i need when im trying to save for a holiday

My Fuse Box melted when I first got mine, replaced it for about £30 and it's been spot on ever since.

As for the ext temp sensor, they are fucking terrible, always breaking. Mine reads 27c even when my car is frozen
