    Cupra Rear Valance wrapping

    I say go for gloss black! But there might be a problem doing so! When I spoke to a company near me they said they wouldnt be able to wrap that part as it's bare plastic and the vinyl wouldn't stick properly! Might be better off getting it painted! :D

    removing fog light for cold air feed; need a hand with a couple things :)
