have the roof done in vinyl and then if you no longer life it you can peel it back - I like the White roof - allthough your images loof silver which could be and option also

Silver wheels mirrors and roof

I'm with Rob, not a fan of the roof or mirrors but I think the stripe would look pretty cool......not thick one down the middle tho.

Also think it looks really nice as it is :)

Not sure about this... I love it the way it is.... :)

Ach so do I. :blink:

Dunno what to be doing now.

Nowt wrong with stripes on Mustangs, Leons....not so much.

White wheels i've been pondering for about a year now, and I think the wing mirrors are subtle enough to tie it in, rather than the crazy white stripes/bumpers ideas! Plus, they are easily changed for nothing if I get bored after a month or so.

I'm just trying to be careful I deviate too far away from how the car looks now, as i do love it, but after three years a wee shake up is necessary.

Adam, your stripes are nice, really subtle. However as a general rule....too chav? :confused:

I think you have to be carefull with stripes, something like thick viper stripes right down the middle would look crap in my opinion.........should be left to real Vipers and Corsa's at cruises.

I quite like mine on the front and roof but am thinking the tailgate and rear bumper are a bit over kill and chav so there coming off.

Another thing is white on blue is pretty 'in ya face' where as mine don't really stand out and go with the black and blue theme......are you set on white? how about a grey or a dark blue?

I think the white wheels and wing mirrors look the nuts with the blue, get a smurf sticker too ;) My mate strugers1 has the same colour car as you, but never had the bo11ocks to do white with blue. Do it, looks cool!!

Grey or dark blue for wheels?

I've said a few times, I'm just not a fan of dark wheels, if its not white the refurb will just be silver again, i can't think of any other colour that would work with the colour of blue it is. Some pics its purple and others its approaching sky blue. really depends on whether the sun is out or not.

I mean a stripe, like a anthracite or dark blue.....actually I think a stripe like mine would work in white/cream?

I'd leave wheels silver or white/cream

I do like the white on blue idea just think the whole roof in white is a bit over the top.

Don't you think a stripe is more extreme than wing mirrors?

I think the bright silver in my signature below is light enough that you can already see what the white would look like.

I personally wouldn't do the mirrors and a stripe, I just bought some teardrop mirrors like yours and tried them with black covers to match the stripe and blue to match the car....blue looked much better.

What about a white stripe going between front and rear wheels with the word CUPRA missing.

So in effect you get a white stripe with blue CUPRA... might look cool.

I'll try to mock up what I mean

EDIT: A very quick one here. Would suggest using official Cupra font, but this was Bold Arial in Italic. Perhaps a thinner line too... but you get the jist!

not sure if it would work or not, but throwing it out there (so to speak)....what about white/off white coloured front grills?

Would say white splitter as well, but if it scrapes anywhere near as much as my LCR did, then it wouldnt be white for long. Might be worth a photoshop. May look terrible, but may also come out really well
