They are too low! My FR+ (OK it is on an H & R Cup Kit) scrapes on stuff! It did scrape as standard so the Cupra R must scrape as well. Much rather be ruining a consumable £20 piece of plastic than the nice painted bumper!

It comes from the Seat dealer in a matt black plasticy colour. I'd never paint the one on my Leon but then that scrapes on the floor which is why it's there!

£300 for springs and fitting and a laser alignment isn't so bad. Springs - £150 Fitting - £100 Alignment - £50

No! No! No! No! and No! Rotary is NOT a good idea for a beginner at all. If you want to get a machine polisher then dual action is the way to go - Megs G220, Porter Cable, UDM, Kestrel, etc. As unless you are a total idiot you can't do much damage with a DA. Rotary is a whole different...

You can buy a fried breakfast in a tin doesn't mean it is better than cooking the eggs, sausage, bacon, etc seperately! As long as you know what products do you know which ones you can combine together.

A decent induction kit should help. The Carbonion on my PD150 Leon makes the car sound more 'petroly' although it does sound like I may be hoovering up small children from the roadside!

235 or 225 is the width from sidewall to sidewall. So has no effect on the rolling radius. http://www.geocities.com/chrislonghurst/tyre_bible.html Useful link!

The arch gap will physically remain the same. Bigger wheel + thinner tyre = same rolling radius. Or at least you should otherwise your speedo will be out! It might appear that the gap changes though but it is just an optical illusion.

Normally I would sing the praises of CYC, but they haven't, in my opinion, been as great as they usually are recently. If you are getting a QD just for drying purposes then the new Dodo Time To Dry drying detailer might be worth a look. It is much better at 'driving' the water off the car than...

As long as you use a fine clay (something like Sonus Green Ultra Fine) then any marring will be kept to an absolute minimum, if at all. I personally feel a leaf blower is a little OTT. You will (I assume) be driving the car so you are going to have grit particles flying over it at 70mph so you...

TBM (two bucket method) to avoid swirls. Regular waxing - I'm a fan of Dodo Wax. Invest in some decent microfibre cloths and some decent drying towels. Clay once or twice a year. Consider a machine polish every 12-18 months to remove the swirling that will occur and look nasty on a black car.

Yes if he claims off you and your insurance pay out then you will lose your NCB.

Instead of trying to punch him, which would really help your cause, did you manage to find any witnesses?

It looks like..............orange peel ;) quite literally. http://www.sherwin-automotive.com/reference/troubleshooting_guide/orange_peel/index.cfm Useful-ish website. A decent spray shop won't need to sand/machine polish to get rid of it because it won't be there in the first place!

Chances are even light tints on the front will still be illegal as the glass is factory tinted. However as with everything if you don't take the pee hopefully you won't have any trouble from the law.

As has been said Falken FK452s are well regarded on SeatCupra.net and fairly cheap. I was certainly happy with them when I had them on my Leon.

Having been in mhills car on Saturday I was impressed with the lack of wind noise at usual cruising speeds and the overall general quietness infact.

Don't get the dealer tints, I think they will be too dark.

Nothing wrong with replicas isn't strictly true! Depending on where they come from they can be made of poor quality alloy and lacking strength. So try and be careful with where you get them from. BBS aren't the only light wheel in the world and there are plenty of lightweight options out there...

Don't think SDS do 19s so they are quite possibly both 20s. Having said that SDS don't seem to have a website at all!
