Well ive given the new seats a good clean,and treated the leather with autoglym!they have come up really well,bolsters are like new and all ready for fitting saturday!

However ive developed a knocking noise from the passanger front wheel local garage has checked it over but cant find anything wrong i've had a look and cant find any play in anything either!It sounds like two things banging together when i am going slow on bumpy ground,anybody got any ideas?

Finally got these fitted yestaday! Will get some better pics when i get chance!

Nice mate, they look lush!
Good choice of seats what's the outcome with the knocking noise your now hearing?

Nice Job Daz

Always liked the MK3 Cupra Seats good choice fella

Sweet mate.

Keeping the red gti dream alive

Are you on coilovers? If so it could be the main spring and and helper spring knocking coz mine just started doing it and that's what ive narrowed it down to, could also be strut top bearing....

havent updated this in sooooo long

The knocking noise just has jus stopped
apart frm that nothing much has happened to the polo.Gave it a good wash and machine polish this weekend as there where pretty bad swirl marks in the paint!
its come up really well to be honest,gonna give it another go in the next couple of weeks aswel
service is on the cards next now,shud be in the next couple of weeks

thts all folks lol

seeing as the weather was ok today when i got home from work i thought id do something i've been meaning to do for ages!
I bought the wrap way before christmas to be fair they look alot better than they do in the pictures

before


after


and i almost forgot a mate of mine sorted out a RR day awhile back




119.8 bhp which im pretty pleased about seeing as its standard apart from a BMC CDA and has done 123,000 miles

heres a pic that shows how they fit in with the dash and door cards abit better than the standard coloured ones

Looking Good Mate Carbon Wrap looks great

Where did you get the car dyno'd mate? Was it that place in Deeside?

120bhp is a good result considering the age of the car and the mileage

Thanks mate im pretty happy with it myself
Had the car dyno'd at a new place that has opened up in buckley,on pinfold industrial estate called get dyno'd.

Cheers mate might check them out and get my Civic Dyno'd there

Yeah you should be happy with 120bhp mate, a good exhaust system, Manifold & Re-map would probably see it push 135+

thinkin of a new custom cat back system when ive got some money together.can anybody recomend anywhere in the north wales/chester area?
cheers

Demon Tweeks in Wrexham would be your best bet mate, they are official powerflow dealer and can make some pretty impressive exhaust systems.

I remember they quoted me for an R32 style exhaust for my GTI but it involved cutting out some of the spare wheel well which put me off.
Decent prices there though and they only charge £20 + VAT per hour for labour which is really good
