Finally got the diff fitted to the gearbox so swapped the gearbox over and fitted the new flywheel and clutch.
Also changed the rear spring rubbers to lower the rear another 10mm. Thanks to Shabar on here for pointing this out to me
VW polo rear spring rubber on the right and Seat version on the left.
Can I just ask, do these lower the standard suspension by 10mm as well and is it a simple swap?
Cheers?
When Seat are these rubbers off please, cost?

Thanks Alan. Yesterday wasn't the best day to collect the car with all the snow we had.
The polo was almost written off due to someone else spinning out in front of me. Quick thinking and some hand action brake saw the polo going sideways to avoid hitting them head on at 50mph

Hi Monk,
Thanks for the comments.
Yes the OEM seats did have airbags but so do the Recaro's and i have wired them up so no error and in the event of an accident they would deploy

Finally got round to fitting my 256mm rear disc conversion
Old callipers off
Solid disc vs vented discs
Splash plate removed for modifying
Modified splash plate fisted (have to remove the lip to clear new larger discs)
Disc fitted (been sitting for a while)
All back together
