Haha, currently enjoying the Formentor stock but do have a list with future plans to change.

I’d love to upgrade the exhaust to aRemus exhaust for a little bit of sound, add Forge air intake + dump valve.

some sweet KW springs for the lowering as Formentor is tad bit too high! Adding H&R sway bar for enhanced driving experience!

once worn out, perhaps some EBC brake and pads. I did recently replace my stock tires to Pilot Sport 4 (which drives so much better already!)

maybe the (copper?) carbon mirror caps. For now with my next (which will be my first with the Formentor) maintenance I’m adding a Racingline bobine and NGK spark plugs.
These all sound amazing! We'd love to see them once you start making any of the changes! I reckon lowering the Formentor would look mean!

From Audi S Line alloys, Venom Hybrid Turbo to Jag XKR functional vents plus a looong list of more mods...My Ibiza Bocanegra is far from Stock, picked it up over 8 years ago with just a Big Brake Upgrade to it's name.....now a regular around the north west's circuit's ???

Fun fact... I took it to Seat Oldham (park rd) when I first got it for a software update & MOT ?

Ah you don't see many Ibiza Bocanegra's about! A great example you have there and those are some head-turning mods. Is there anything else you are looking to do to it in the future?!

We know many of you don’t stop at the stock look.
Have you modded your SEAT or CUPRA in real life? Whether it’s a small change or a full-blown transformation — we want to see it!
Drop your photos and share your upgrades below:
Spoilers? Wheels? Tint? Badges? Wraps?

I have documented all the small & big changes I have made to my now-9-months old Cupra Ateca here as separate posts, but this is a good opportunity to gather the externally visible additions in one place. Here they are: Dual exhaust outputs at both sides (of course they are not just for show, I've replaced the whole rear silencer, along with new pipes. Factory-installed double output pipes were only at one side, invisibly looking down to the ground), the carbon fiber roof spoiler extension (from original Cupra accessories) and finally and very recently, brake calipers painted electrostatically to "Signal Yellow" (RAL 1003). :giggle:

This looks mean! Love the spoiler and the yellow brake callipers! The colour really pops! Are you happy with all your changes now or are you looking to do even more in future?!

Thanks!

If there were more original body parts & accessories that my car does not have, I'd definitely consider them. So I guess I'll stop here and leave it like this. ☺️

The exception to this will probably be an extra set of original alloy wheels for my winter tire set, soon.

I was booked in to get full window tinting - it's what I always do with my new cars - but I've realised that the rear glass is already dark enough. So I'm only getting the front/sides done in light smoke, just to even things out a bit, but sufficiently subtle for old PC Plod not to spot an easy victim.
As I've posted elsewhere, I've already put the flappy paddle extenders on - very useful mod.
Bought a spare wheel and accessories.

And I've taken steps to prevent internal surfaces being damaged by dog claws.

Yes, my mods are mostly practical things. The car doesn't need too much in terms of styling upgrades.

Edit: and I'm happy with 0-60 in 4.8 sec.
