Nice Cupra mate, but I can't stand how you can see two tiny pee-shoot holes set into the exhaust... it looks naff IMO



Yeah that’s going to be sorted soon - got the black gloss exhaust spray to paint them black like the previous ones. 3” pipes look tiny, even though they are bigger than the old exhaust!

I let the guy choose the tips based on what his experience told him, circular or oval or dual etc. I liked the tips when I saw them on the shelf but not so much on the car when I saw the pipes - Hopefully the paint will sort it out :)

Easily changed though if needs be.

Does sound good though!

Nice finish!

I gave mine a well needed clean today and noticed a 5p sized car park style dent in the passenger door not noticable until up close but still annoying.

Also seeing more and more stone chips on the bonnet. Has anyone applied some sort of protection to stop this? (although it's too late now anyway)

I bought a bonnet bra for this very reason. Worked brilliantly at protecting my bonnet and windscreen. Just a pain to clean each time I decide to clean the car properly.

Finally had a bit of wrapping done to the 300



Lip & Roof in Gloss Black

So this adds to:



Extended Trigger Shifters

Removal of Centre Silencer

Pipercross Air Filter

Hatchbag

Kenwood Dashcam DRV-410

Black Pack CUPRA Badging



Lots of ODB11 Mods (Start Stop Deactivation, Video In Motion, Open Door No Alarm, Seatbelt No Alarm, 4 Flash Indicators, One Click Folding Mirrors, Auto Fan Power Indication Lights, Scandinavian Always On Rear DRL LEDS)



I really want to go black on the SEAT badge front and rear - haven't figured out the best way to do this yet - the wrap guys said this wasn't great and recommended spraying. Removal of the rerouted badge is the scariest thing and then getting a spray done is a hassle.



Done some wrapping in the past and had an attempt at wrapping the Seat s. It is a complete pain and looks awful except from a distance

Did you remove the badge from the base to do it? The 2 halves clip out and it’s easier to then wrap them individually (at least that’s what I did)

I did it in situ. Was not easy, got took straight off and put in the bin. Want to do it again soon though. Need to redo my door pillars too (wrapped in carbon fibre) but first priority is a new drivers door :(

Spent 2 hours trying to wrap my front bumper lip - tried twice but kept getting creases which would bug me so ripped it off :(
Did behind the front plate in matt black

Anyone know someone in West yorks that can wrap my front lip properly?

ouch - just watched your vid
There's some wrap you can buy which has a pattern on the back so when laying it down the creases go into the channels of the pattern so it's easier to get it flat - look on ebay for something like this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gloss-Me...hash=item4b04886c65:m:mw0Uq7zFOYQ1ZymjeXWe6mg

My problem was the bumper curves in the centre then folding over the front it has to be stretched 2 ways :(

Got a price for a pro to wrap the bottom lip and grille - £120 :-o i'll buy some plastidip and do the lip myself - worth a try?
