    Yeah but I've decided to keep it as I'm sick of window shoppers.

    I'm going to get it detailed and maybe change the tyres to Michelin or Pirelli in the new year too. And maybe a (small) rear lip spoiler.

    I don't see many about. Think there's only (or less than) 16 registered with the 1.8 cause of the 1ish year manufacturing run. Went to a Cars and Coffee and only saw the Leon Cupras.

    But ye, a trip round those parts of the wild Atlantic way is definitely on the cards

    Enjoy it!

    My OH has one from new (162) same colour as yours with the black wheels.

    VERY quick car :pac: wish it made more noise though. She has put 90k up on hers in 3.5 years :eek:

    Ye, it could do with a sportier exhaust note. I've been considering making a change to sort that but don't know if I'll commit. Tyres, and good maintenance first and then I'll see if there's money for extras.

    I bought a new Fiesta ST in January '16. Traded it in July 18 with 78kms on it. Great fun little car to drive but in a straight line these Cupra's were definitely quicker, as stock anyway, I put a Collins map on mine and it made a nice difference.

    Seeing as I couldn't get any of my other classy bangers out in time...

    I have 3 of these things now for the price of 1 full years tax on a 1.7 Diesel Opel Kadett :o I don't drive it as much as I'm now in a van (which I also took a pic outside the pub but as it's branded I can't put here)



    I sure love hardship; bloody gearbox crapped itself earlier this year and the ECU will occasionally have it jam in a random gear in city driving but the comfort makes up for that though :p I may do something about the ECU shortly


    Probably my last post for the year but have a wonderful Christmas and like last year (and the year before that, and the year before that...!), what'll be outside the pub for a portrait this time next year is anyone's guess! :D

    Car in with spirit detailing at the moment for polish and ceramic coat. Job looks top class so far.

    Maybe it's me and my certain OCD but the gap in the light fittings line up directly with the centre of the M of the BMW badge.

    Just shows how that outfit will always turn out a pro job .

    It actually doesn't, you can see gap in the light to the far right of the M.

    That's annoying!

    Beautiful job.

    It will be a shame to take it out on the roads in this weather.

    I was admiring Brian's posts on it.

    Thanks lads, stunning work from Brian. I've used him three times now over the years and all have been top notch.

    The brand of coating he uses is Japanese and he swears by it. Not sure how long it will last but he said easily 2 years. All rotary work and he also did interior and engine bay.

    Also got him to remove the m badges on the wings. Much cleaner look without them.

    Anyone know if they do glass polishing? Don't see it on their website and they're only a 30 minute drive from me.
