Is there a yellow option if not i will get a cupra 3D printed here at work in the DT department lol
I could do a yellow version lol Getting a 3D printed version would be ace! I wonder the level of detail you could get instead of a mould.

Got the spoiler fitted and stripped the paint back again as the blue didn't sit even... Now got to wait till it gets warmer as spray paint only really works at +15 degrees.

I also started the 2nd trophy which will be for the dirtiest car on the day lol sorry @Sharpy but I couldn't be bothered to change the colour haha got some nice big mud splatter which isn't massively visable in this light but hey...

Got some bits and bobs on order for it so hopefully it all turns up before Christmas so it can be fitted in time.

Good news @Legojon the first coat of the blue is on... Spray paint is much better lol I need the temp to go up again and I'll do the 2nd and underneath then I can get the rubber and plastics sorted.

It's actually metallic which Im surprised by lol thought it would just some pants rubbish but blue...

Quick update

Put the fog inserts back in and the front grill although both need a touch up from shoddy painting skills lol got my R badges on and the very small cupra one next to the front reg plate. Wingmirrors on just need to put the glass in lol

To put these into perspective the car is 3.5cm wide...

That is brilliant! Love the metallic flecks in it. My cars in as many pieces as the moment.

Nothing bad I hope, just more mods/service.

It's technically in for coilovers. But now needs new top mounts / bearings (which I suspected would be the case after a particularly large dip in the road). And now my brake caliper carriers have fallen apart. But other than that... going great. LOL.

I've got a new brake setup if you need it... Got all 4 but needed to test one out.
