Went over the car with a clay mitt, then treated it with a ceramic coating. My first time trying this, seemed to go well. Looks very sparkly now 8)
Ewwww, lime green.... not liking that.

Cheers for that fella!
Yeah I think they’re a improvement but I’d want it just that tad more blue / white. Still got a yellow tinge to it. Will have to try out the ones I got from Halfords... only because I can use them elsewhere if I don’t like the colour and comes with something silly like 5 year warranty.

Looks good - which one is it? Any links? (Or is it the £10 variant that I've seen people mention on eBay - looks more expensive than that! lol)
I’d agree with you, looks much better than a £10 job!

The eponymous Cupra R jobbie! Easy enough to fit too, just requires a heat gun and a saw/dremel to get it to fit.
About £45 from a VW dealer, got mine with the 10% discount a few weeks back on eBay from a dealer on there for around £40
Those CSLs seem very well suited. Nicely done.

Finally replaced the original battery (10 years old) as I left the key in it overnight on Saturday, in the accessories position. Was completely dead Sunday, and when I put the battery charger/conditioner on it, I could only hear a continuous clicking noise and it didn't seem to want to take a charge. Well overdue for a new one I suppose, and it's an easy job with no coding to worry about on these cars.
I had to reset the windows, reboot the Dension and set the date/time, otherwise no problems

I have a BMW branded CTEK charger, but at 10 years + old, and this is the second time I've run it dead flat by leaving the key on, I thought it was time for a replacement.z4too4 said:Have you considered a CTEK charger or the much cheaper Autoxel (mine)enzed4 said:Finally replaced the original battery (10 years old) as I left the key in it overnight on Saturday, in the accessories position.
