Some guy cut me up in heavy traffic coming off a roundabout and barged his way in front of me.
I later overtook him to turn right in a filter lane.
He drove past and called me a wanker, so I raced up next to him and slammed my door into the side of his car.
He drove into my wheel.
True story

thanks dude
They're the proper Cupra R mats and I got them with the car. They were probably just covered in dirt when you saw it before
I've gotta get a stage 1 remap soon as the car is begging me for more ooomph

Very nice mate, love the cupra in that grey colour.
Those mates are like hens teeth, I had them in my car as well and thankfully were like new. They are the original mats and SEAT dont make them anymore.
Get the splitter popped back in the middle
