Looking at fitting my LED side lights and gear gaiter when the weather gets better as it's raining :( also looking at getting a Cupra handbrake cover? Any ideas where I can get my mitts on one?

I recommend Megs High Gloss Tyre Gel or Turtle Wax Wet 'n' Black spray :) 12p packs of sponges from the supermarket to apply lol

How did you find vinyling? you could do the chrome ring at the front and maybe black Cupra wing mirror covers for a stealthly look with the dark wheels?

LOL standard! Once again thanks for info this is all being taken in. Vinyling was alright actually, took me about 3 attempts to get the front how I wanted it and the back was about 5 attempts, but got there in the end still not 100% with the back wanna take the logo out and totally do is as apposed to doing it in situ. I did debate the chrome ring at the front I got some vinyl left so may have to have a crack at that. I love the idea of the black cupra wing mirror covers. What do you reckon on the wheels? They suit the colouring of the car?

The first thing I tried to wrap was my mirror covers which was a massive fail... twice!

The wheels suit it yes, there's one the same colour as yours I've seen on here but low and with tinted headlights and it looked super stealthy

I'd probably go for this colour over red if I had the choice, there's more options. I'd probably go a bit mental though and do the wheels green or orange haha

lol whoops! Been thinking of carbon vinyling over the grey on the mirror to match in with the front and back logos? Reckon I should swerve that if it's a bit of a 'mare?

Really? I love the red mate, but I love the colouring on this too. Haha mate them colours would be a sight!

I'd probably do better now, but they curve a lot and in all directions from the middle and then shortly after I managed to get my Cupra covers for £5 from ebay :)

It's the lack of choice with red that I find a bit limiting as I can only do things red, black, white or grey really. Whether I would have the balls to do a crazy colour is another question, but I'd like the option lol

We're did you get your footwell lighting mate ?

Also do you want to swap cars ;) I want the power ! Lol

Got my footwell lighting here 2 for £8! Brilliant value considering normally £19.99 each at halfords. Had to do a bit of jiggery pokery with the wiring of the fitting cause of the mode select switch on the cigarette lighter attachment, but came out on top in the end! I guess being an electrician pays off haha. Mate the power still scares me today, I had a little 1.1l Saxo before the beeza so quite a change...

Cheers mate. The Cupra handle set me back £17 from a guy on here called seremotors, I highly recommend him! Very fast service.

Looks good so far
Is it not possible to just wire the footwell lights onto the light switch to come on with the dash lights ?

Cheers Krash! Yeah mate thats what they are wired into so when I turn my headlights on the footwell does too. The LEDs I bought had a cigarette lighter attachment with the mode select switch (pulsing/flashing/moving/constant) built into it so had to override that as the default setting was flashing, so linked the mode switchline in with the negative and hey presto constant light :) if that makes sense? :confused:
