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!
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?!
Wavetrac LSD is the goal.....an expensive goal but still a goal.
Not found anyone either yet that has put one in a dq200 so could be a 1st
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).

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?!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.

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.
Keep us updated!!Thanks!

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.

We love tinted windows. Thankfully quite a few cars come with this as standard now like you have found!
Practical mods are great mods that can sometimes be missed. Which model is it you drive now?
0-60 in 4.8 sec is certainly quick enough for a car your use everyday!
I just got the tints done - ended up with light smoke on all side windows and it looks perfect.
Done a few mods, nothing too difficult but just fitted these carbon fibre door mirror backs. Not cheap but very good quality. Some interior upgrades around the centre console next, thanks to Serdar for help with part numbers.

Centre console replaced over the weekend. Not a mod but the next job is replacement of the trims either side of the console with mk4.5 leather versions as seen in a post on the forum earlier this year (my thanks to them for the idea!) Photos show the old and new parts, plus the damage on the original and the new leather trims. One of theses has been returned as it’s clearly the wrong colour! Our friends at Cox’s are supplying all parts and our good friend @serdar has provided part numbers. Identifying the part numbers for the centre console has been difficult but was narrowed down to two. It looks like one’s a SEAT version (chrome finish trim) and one’s a CUPRA version (grey finish trim) I ended up with the wrong one but the trims just clip out, so easy fix. I’m tempted to have the chrome one finished in copper to improve it further.
