I'm pretty surey my paperwork said something along the lines of no aftermarket body parts should be fitted.
You can add mods as long as you get it ok'd first and put it back to standard before handing it back.

A few frosty/icy mornings this week so I put my winters on.

More comfortable and road noise a lot quieter, but they don't quite look as good! I wasn't keen on the BE wheels before getting the car, but in reality I think they look great.

Does this give us the green light to put a remap on the car as long as we return it to stock before giving it back?

A remap puts a marker on the ECU apparently, there was a thread about it on another forum, I'd imagine only an issue if it went in for warranty work during the time you had it

Get a tuning box, they cost about the same and can be removed and fitted to a different car (with a corrected map) or sold on. That's my plan if I get one.

The CC has sold, paperwork completed and now got to wait for the cooling off period. These next few weeks are going to go very slowly while I wait.

I Have a DTM Tuning Box and the Accelerator Module about to be taken off my Golf R and will then go on the Cupra, though I may wait until I figure out whether the wheel spin will be an issue over the damp winter months.

I have been in a genuine 376 bhp Golf R and that was quicker than mine - I reckon the box gives around 340 - 345 bhp judged by my large bum dyno!

I wouldn't bother putting that kit on your Cupra. Mine was delivered yesterday and, aside from being the fastest car I've owned, it spins its front wheels in 3rd gear on damp roads. It already wants to kill you so I wouldn't recommend giving it further licence!

Maybe i should have added the Tyre Replacement option....

Well that's ours now at the dealers. Got the finance paperwork through today to sign with the correct 6 pence excess mileage.

As we are signing away from the dealer where it says witness is that done by the dealer or by someone with me now, say the Mrs?

Get to pick it up next week so no 14 day wait.

Someone with you when you sign - must be a different surname.

I've got an SD card with about 12Gb of music in slot 2. All the music plays fine but the Cupra only shows album art for about half of the albums? Any ideas?

I don't have my Cupra yet but I had a similar problem with a Pioneer double din unit. I'm not sure if it's the same reasons but here's what I had to do (copy and pasted from another site)

Album Art Solution !!!!!!

Here it is, could be due to many reasons, 5 mostly, found answers on this site.

I have the AVHP-8400BH and Im still working on all of this , but makes sense.

Im currently using the Mp3Tag, but also have itunes open, just so happens , that while following instructions on site below, Ive confirmed that the art work that are not showing are all with ID3v2.2,, and Itunes has a utility if you right click on a song or your entire collection to change the ID3 Tag to the reccomended ID3v 2.3


http://tips4pc.com/computer-gadgets/five-reasons-y...
Finally
_________________________

UPDATE

A couple of hours into it , and have noticed that with the change of ID3Tag version , most of the 18,000 plus songs on an 128 GB USB Drive, have shown artwork, however, I ALSO HAD TO USE DE MP3TAG , FOR CONVERSION OF THE IMAGE TO FRONT COVER AS STATED ON

  1. 3. Misuse of the ‘picture type’, CLICK ON ENTIRE COLLECTION AND RIGHT CLICK HOVERING OVER IMAGE ON THE LEFT (empty because multiple file/songs have been selected), and convert to front cover.

I'm not a fan of the revised front bumper with those fussy lights and the exclusion of the black area under the number plate.

I don't like any of the changes they've made! Chuffed with the 290.

Quite like it - like the alloys. Been told at least another two weeks this morning by Seat UK. Voluntary termination on the old car, being collected today, mid to late morning they said... ?!
