I ordered mine from amazon. I’d recommend not doing as you say! But yeah I used a bin bag and cut it down one side and opened it up so it covers more and then taped it to the car and cut a square out in the middle where I was working on

Oh dear, are we going to get some kind of #MeToo campaign going following this post :O

Yeah people who PlastoDip the badges generally mask off the surrounding areas.
However Not sure if this is true, the chrome bits can be flicked out with a screw driver. Not something I fancy doing myself.
Defo only software...https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-details/software/seat/leon-mk3-2012-/194/stage-3
£899 seems on the low side. Don't know if that's just the software? They also list the required hardware so you could compile a shopping list
Hardware about another £3.5K, assuming turbo exchange.
Okay chap cheers. Is it easy enough to do then would you say and do you have any pictures??
Very easy, just take your time when you apply it, very thin layers and lots of them. Wait a decent amount of time especially in this colder weather so maybe leave more than half an hour in between each coating just to make sure it sets properly. When it’s all set again take your time peeling the excess off if you do the chrome bits on the boot. Look on YouTube for how to plastidip car badges they helped me a lot

Yeah only the one can, didn’t use that much for the front and back S badges and the letters on the boot

Is from acidic wheel cleaner / TFR (traffic film remover. A lot of car wash places use it.Noticed that my wheel nut covers have all gone white, guess maybe something to do with the car wash although this didn't happen with my last Leon, cleaned one and it now looks grey instead of black
Cheers, guessed that would be the case... they must be rubbish then only the 3rd or 4th time it's been washed since I got new at the end of October
Is just a residue so appears quite quickly. You should be able to rub it off OK, but it can leave unpainted coloured plastics a bit faded as you have found.
the above appeared on my wheel nut covers after my car was in for new discs and pads. I assumed the garage used some sort of cleaner on the wheels. They did cleaned up ok, I was just a bit annoyed they had used it. My wheels weren't even that dirty.
When on the M6/M56/M53 I noticed that a 70mph icon would appear sporadically. For the majority of the journey no actual speed value is indicated. Weird.
Journey back up the M53/M56/M6 which was quite nice apart from the fact that everyone in an Audi, Fiesta, Corsa and especially BMW hated the fact that they had been overtaken and had to go to any length to get back past me.
Bear in mind I did go up to 90 once or twice but I am in no way a speed demon and the majority of the journey was 70-80mph.
Is this just because I drive a Cupra??

No It because you have that very nice RED car they are just upset they got the wrong color.
