No too bad actually no cutting tape required. Just be patient and use a bit of heat. I used a heat gun.

the vinyl on the sill plate looks good, i guess you have to trim back with a knife?

I like the bits internally, though I think I am just going to go for it and paint mine....

I did not use any knife... can you please explain what you are thinking about ?

Hi there !

Here are some before/after pictures of today's work :clown:
No it needs a big overall washing :wave:






The Seats and Door Sills look great. I have the R grills fitted to mine anyway and prefer the look of the black lettering. (mine is red). But i am thinking about some other black decals on the car just to add to the trim.

I will also be fitting the side blades after lockdown which have a gloss black trim on them. I have the CF Splitter and Reiger Diffuser too.

I really like the bumper 'blades' but no way id get them on straight. Fat too expensive to chance wasting the cash.

An alternative as already mentioned are the cupra R inserts and paint matched OEM mirror caps. That way you get the OEM R look and don't need any wrapping skills.

Makes the car more agressive...love it.
I'm second guessing this mod....i have the nevada white cupra and i don't know if the white in combo with copper is the right choice.

I think it works really well on white. The white Cupra R STs look awesome.

I wonder if the copper blades could be stuck on the standard foglight unit, as an alternative to the wrap.

OK lesson learned. The R mirror covers were fake. They had bad paint runs and the paint was still pretty soft. Clearly just standard Leon parts sprayed up on demand. The part number label and the inside of the mirror backs were covered in over spray.

Got them on Ebay from Andys.Autoparts. Im sending them back. They also took 2 weeks to be delivered, and were posted everal days after the guy sent a tracking number, which is also clearly fake since the post office doesnt recognise it.
