Carbon only crossed my mind cause at some point I still want a carbon bonnet. But thinking about it Id probably wrap the carbon bonnet Red lol.

I think Gloss black would look pretty good

Get a spoiler i think the car looks odd without one

 

[LeonFR07DSG]

Oh and yes the gloss black valance!

Gloss black might look quite cool.

I had the spoiler and skirts in the shed and decided against fitting them, on Nicks (cant remember username ), white FR now. Went to a good home

 

[Al]

The spoiler makes the pre facelift car in my opinion. No spoiler, wiper or badge makes yours look really basic IMO.

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Nice and understated

Definitely wrap them, it'll look much better.

Out of curiosity what rims are those you have, I'm liking them lots

Gloss black all the way Mike

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!

 

[StealthInspired]

That is correct. ^

The rear Valance CAN'T be wrapped as it's a rough plastic surface and the Vinyl wont adhere to it properly. Confirmed by a couple of sources, including the company who Wrapped mine.

The alternative would be to paint it, to give you the effect you are looking for.

On a side note, like your debadged tailgate, rear end looks very sleek.
Plus you've DE-Wipered the rear window also. Same with mine.

Not alot of owners with the Cupra would do that, removing the letters, as its what distinguishes your top of the range Cupra from the 'lesser' Leons, having the privilege of "C U P R A" across the back.
(plus all the other subtle Cupra signatures of course).

BBS CH, I miss them lol. Has team dynamic pro race 1.2s for weight saving

 

[Al]

You need to go further for proper weight saving Mike. Light battery, remove a/c, remove rear seats, remove sound deadening etc etc etc

sorry it says doncaster thats why i commented.we would do the job for £100.00 might sound dear but that what we do them for.we paint one here so when our customers turn it just needs fitting.
