Hi everyone. Long time Seat driver, recently traded in my 2012 MK2 Leon FR+ and bought a 2016 Cupra 290 3 door manual with just above 17k miles and loving every minute of driving this car.

Was actually in search of a 5 door MK3 Cupra but for the miles and price the one I got was a steal! Even came with maxton design diffuser, side skirts, spoiler and front splitter which was a nice bonus.

Anyway just saying hello.

Looks nice. Body kit works well with the black mirrors and red paint. 👌🏼 Swapping to black Cupra lettering on the back would match the black and red theme too.

Looks like you may have a dodgy boot handle. Mine used to do that. Wouldn’t spring back as it should. Replaced it and now it’s back to normal again 👍🏼

Cheers pal. Going to black out the cupra letters this weekend hopefully and the seat logos. Yeah the boot handle went on my previous fr and thought the same when I saw the dealer pics but surprisingly hasn't happened again.

After that maybe a back box delete, undecided on that though.
