Lockdown project

Vinyl wraps mostly from Eaziwrap with a couple from EZMods. Tdi tuning Bluetooth box being fitted tomorrow for 352Bhp.

Absolute weapon of a car. Fair play I bet you love driving to work In that. I’ve been using my Leon mk2 for work the last 2 weeks and love driving it. I normally drive my company car which is a 1.0 turbo ecoboost turd.

Bonnet stripe and wing stripes look nice

the cupra on the rear door and the copper beside the lights /grille is slightly OTT IMO

 

[David Lea]

Yeah, not sure about the grill bits myself but that's the easy part, quick hairdryer and they're off. That's the problem with lockdown projects, you can go down the rabbit hole of too much! I like the look of the dsg paddles but you lose the tactile click as you come down the box. It'll be interesting to see if the extra power from the tuning box will change the amount of burbling and pops on the overrun. It's done 4k now and the last 1k the exhaust note has got so much better. Remus catback with carbon quad tips and front splitter next.

I like the front I bought the interior kit from eaziwrap and the front copper flag sticker. The flag went ok and I've done my steering wheel like yours. The strips to cover the chrome were already coming off the backing sheet so they didn't stick.
I do like what you have done to the front.
Did you do anything to the c u p r a on the rear?

Thanks, I've still got the rest of the pinstripes to do the interior vents and infotainment screen. Have you been using a hairdryer/heater to apply them? Even if you lose a bit of stickiness they should still go down with some heat. Not gone for the copper lettering on the CUPRA as yet, I've got copper wrap for the rear gloss pillars next to the glass from EZMods so I'm going to have a look at them over the weekend and see if it's too much.

Hi, yes I used the hairdryer and cleaned the chrome first but not much success. My car is blue and the black cupra on the back didn't seem right to me so I've fitted the copper cupra lettering from the dealer.
I wasn't keen on the big 'S' badges so I bought some cupra symbol 3d ones from shapeways just black on black at the moment. They arrived yesterday, not fitted yet

 

[David Lea]

Yeah, I think it looks great on the blue. I'll probably go for it eventually. The shapeways stuff looks great, I'll be interested to see how you get on with fitting them. Mine is a lease so I'm hesitant to start prying off the SEAT badges. I'll probably buy it after my lease is up though and then go crazy on it! I'd get in touch with Eaziwrap about your vinyl, I found them really helpful by email.

Had the tdi tuning box fitted to my 290 today, now a 350. Highly recommended, it was wet today and I thought it might be a bit of a handful but the power delivery is epic but controllable. The mid range torque pulls like a train and more character from the exhaust note too. Tdi tuning have a 20% discount on at the moment so I got the app enabled Bluetooth box for £340. Definitely a great alternative to remapping especially for all the leased Cupras. Totally traceless.

Liking the look of that mate, I’ve had my eye on the interior kit (vent surrounds, gear surround etc) in black for my Fr but it’s been out of stock for an age. They definitely favour the copper cars and I can see why
