A few of questions mate, where did you get the red edging that goes around the top of the heat shield??? Also those bolts are a nice touch, can you get them in red??? I've for a K&N as well but looking at it how does the joiner hold onto it???

Finally got around to doing some painting, I've painted the rear diffuser and the rear S badge:

After:
P1040540.jpg


P1040542.jpg


P1040541.jpg


P1040543.jpg


I had originally planned on doing the S badge the other way so the badge was black and the black bits were body coloured but I think it looks good the way it is.:D

This also turned up in the post:

The throttle body will be coming off to get painted before I fit it.

I need to get a hold of another CUPRA badge now to paint black as I dont fancy attempting to pain the current one whilst its on the car.

Cheers for looking:)
