Small syling update. Ive had some centre pillar vinyls in matte black for about 6 months but never got round to fitting them till today. Im really pleased with how they blend the tints and glass into one. The rears are privacy glass and the fronts are factory tint.
Perhaps some gloss black ones would look even better but they dont make them!

After
Thanks for looking

The B pillar looks good!
I'm keeping mine stock for now, might CC the door handles at some point.

Update time, but not a massive update!
Today ive fitted some Team Heko wind deflectors and i think they look pretty good. They also "blend" in somewhat with the tints i think, which is a bonus! Glad i went for the full set as with the fronts alone, it looked a bit odd.
Thanks for looking

Update time again!
Finally got round to replacing the rear bumpstops. Due to it being lowered on springs but standard shocks its been sat on the bumpstops and destroyed them! Ive now added new, shorter bumpstops.
Destroyed bumpstops!
New bumpstops!
And fitted.
Thanks for looking.

Another update. Ive had a knocking from the front again and after investigating, i found one of the front bushes on the wishbone has completely disintegrated! So i put some powerflex bushes on!
Whilst taking the wishbone out, annoyingly, the rear console bush split so had to press another one in. Same as the other side, i fitted a Leon cupra R bush in.
Wishbone back in.
A couple of other jobs i did but didnt take photos were new drop links on either side and a couple of new seals and clips on the bottom intercooler boost hose.
All in all, a productive day and the knocking has gone!
Thanks for looking.

Is the wishbone a hard job? I've got all the bushes but not had chance to attempt it yet!

The fronts are a bit of a pain to get out but the poly bushes are easy to get in. The real pain is the rear console bushes, they again arent too bad to get the old ones out if theyre the orig ones, but the pressing of the new cupra ones are fairly hard due to them being an interference fit.

Okay mate cheers, how did you press them in in the end? I'm doing drop links and ARB bushes on the weekend so I'll have a gander at my rears, I think they are originals.

Sorry only just seen this reply! I used a homemade tool that consists of 2 thick plates of round steel and a tensile steel nut and bolt.

Update time again! Bought a few goodies for the vRS today, i only have copied pics at the moment but more will get put up when the fitting etc gets done!
So, new front discs (simply functional with a bit more "look" to them and nothing more)
Boost Gauge(I might not fit this yet though!)
Glows white at the moment but im sorting it to match the green of the dash)
And a holder for it which matches the interior colour and dimpled effect of the dash
Then on the 29th June its going upto Mansfield to Shark Performance to be remapped!
