I didn't want to bore anyone and drag this out to much so I thought I could kill 3birds with 1stone on this next picture before I get to the morning exciting bits. So here in my car with the following changes...
• Maxton front splitter with the bottom lip of the bumper blacked out
• Heko wind deflectors
• Black vynal sun-strip
• Maxton front splitter with the bottom lip of the bumper blacked out
• Heko wind deflectors
• Black vynal sun-strip
Couple tips if anyone is looking to do the same as the above image.. firstly is the front splitter it's made by Maxtondesign and is the V2 version not the v1
as I felt for the extra 15quid it looked like a much better fittment, after getting some advice off other cupra owners it seems the best idea to take the bumper off and use all the nuts and bolts supplied with the kit as most people just try fix it on with self tappers and it coming off at high speeds. I like to do things right the first time Around so I took my bumper off luckily my old dear was away beacuse this took place on the dining room table...
Splitter has been on for couple of months and is holding up perfectly so make sure you do not take any shortcuts on the installation. Also unfortunately to make the black Vynal look neat on the bumped I actually had to remove the grill and tuck the Vynal under it, again that was not easy but worth the extra effort.
Next is the Vynal sun-strip looks very nice but it blocks the rain sensor so it might be worth trying to fit this to the inside of the windscreen to prevent the sensor being covered over by the Vynal, yes you could use the wiper stalk like a normal car but I think the first setting is way to fast for light rain where the sensor would have only sweept across only when is nessesary.
Lastly is the Heko wind deflectors I ordered them online and a couple of the brackets were missing to fit these correctly rather than send them back I used one of the extra brackets from the front as the (front) deflectors actually wedge into place so they would not come loose like the back would have done... I hope this all makes sense , feel free to ask any questions or post advice for other people.. thanks j

This picture is after installing (kill all wipers) wiper delete kit. I think the back of the car looks alot cleaner with the delete but it just my personal opinion. One thing I would like to point out as this is the second car I have done this to.. Don't think for a second you can undo the bolt on your window-wiper and it just fall into your hands because it won't. It would have almost welded itself on through years of weathering. If you keep trying to pull the wiper off with your hands you are likely to brake the glass so ideally you need a pipe splitter or buy a specific tool for removing wipers to do this safely.
