few questions

debadging, was it easy and how did you go about it?

the interior lights, which bulbs did you use and for the boot?

and finally i promise haha, the reg lights, was it easy and which bulbs

 

[JoshRedCupra]

I debaged my cousins Fiesta and that was just heating up the glue with a heat gun until it slips off

 

[joenewton_1709]

Hi mate,
Debadging was easy, bought some dental floss and put it between the letter and the car, this left a bit of the sticky stuff which I just picked off and polished
The interior lights were 2x 501s for the little reading lights. I used ultra power bulbs. The main one was a 42mm festoon LED which I got from eBay. The boot light was also 42mm festoon
The reg light were 38mm festoon LEDs which I got from autobulbs direct (these were canbus) just because I didn't want to risk getting warning lights.
And yes all of it was fairly easy, if you need any help give me a shout. Also I don't know which car you have so some of the bulbs might be slightly different. For example I've noticed that some people only have 1 reg bulb where I have 2. Hope I helped

sorry i should have said i drive a 2015 FR 1.4 ACT TSI need to upgrade the rest of my bulbs, have you any interior photos with the new lights ?

 

[joenewton_1709]

They might be slightly different then. It might be worth getting to the bulbs and having a little measure of them, that's what I did for all the bulbs you have asked about. And I have but its not the best photo, you can take my word for it tho the white leds are 100% better, when you unlock the car and they come on it looks fantastic

Little update. Fitted a centre armrest last weekend. Happy with it, makes motorway driving that bit more comfortably

Today I decided to give my exhaust a really good clean. It's never been shiny as when I got the car it was near enough black. Anyway...
Before:

After:

Pictures don't do it justice IMO, but very happy with the results

What did you use to polish the exhaust

I used a few things. Surprisingly coca cola worked fairly well for parts (dads tip that he read on his scirocco R forum) and I also used autosol and fine wire wool

Looks nice mate! How much did armrest cost and would it fit on my cupra?

 

[joenewton_1709]

Got the armrest for about £50 from eBay. It just slots into the rear cup holder so I don't see why it wouldn't
