Rear end... have a look

[RobM]

Can I ask your opinions on my rear end

Ignore the dirt, the terrible quality picture and the bad editing... it's the subject I'm interested in. I wont say specifically what I've done as I want to see if it's obvious and looks stupid or not. And no, I'm not referring to the SC.net badge...

What do you think to this, my latest change.....

well i can see the big chunky cR bumper, smooth wiper, (better than original
and also LEON spaced out across boot,

have a missed it

 

[UncleFester]

Anti speed camera rear plate?

 

[MMCrewcupra]

lol good point

 

[RobM]

Close, but no cigar. In fact, MMCrew did touch on it, but not quite specifically enough....

 

[MMCrewcupra]

spoiler ?????

or hav u removed all the other badges

 

[RobM]

Standard spoiler. And no, not the other badges being removed.

Ok, I'll tell you... it's not that exciting but I wanted to see if it was an obvious difference to other people or looked odd.

The LEON lettering is from the Mk2 Leon and is about 50% bigger than the Mk1 lettering. I'm not 100% convinced by it at the moment, can't work out if it's too big or not.

Is it the LEON lettering off the new one?

EDIT: Argh - beaten to it. I still claim my prize though.

 

[MMCrewcupra]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh now thats sneeky

looks good tho dude, looks nice, imo would look even smoother with the S boot catch gone tho,

 

[Reg]

I never would have picked that up and I pride myself on an eye for detail!

 

[traumapat]

not really aware what the lcr`s badges are like normally, so couldnt say if anythings different...so not comparing it to anything....
i rekon it looks good. leon lettering looks cool.

Well done, your prize is in the post! (you did want a half eaten Curly Whurly didn't you?)

I'm kinda glad it's not an obvious change or it doesn't stand out. I like subtle mods that make a little difference, so I'm happier about it now

 

[willcooke]

I'd be interested to see if they do some new CUPRA lettering

 

[MMCrewcupra]

does look subtle mate but still nice,

can you do photoshop, get the boot smoothed see what it looks like

 

[Nathanio]

Like the SCN badge where it is. I like the idea of what you done but seen quite a few paxos and escorts round here done in the same way and it ruins your look

The Mk2 Leon Cupra has 'Cupra' in the same place as the others have Leon.... but I'm not sure about the size. I'd assume it would follow suit and be bigger than previous versions, but I don't know for sure.

There was already the Leon lettering there, I've not changed anything other than the badge itself. I took the old off and put the new, larger one on. So this isn't a case of trying to copy the Evo, like the Paxo boys do. This is just a case of trying a subtle approach to changing the original idea.

call me a fibber if you want, but i thought the leon letters looked different in some way, but wasnt sure how....

looks good mate!

Yeah I know its just a shame that there are paxos and escorts ruining the look for decent cars like yours and Evos

 

[Ruddmeister]

It looks like someone has run in the back of your car and after getting the accident damage repaired the bodyshop stuck the wrong stickers on the tailgate.
