v-g's Flash red 1M Leon Cupra

They are convexed
Convexed are shapes that curve out
Concaved go in

A very good exampel of type before think.

 

[v-g]

I would still say that concaved areas are not that hard to cover. Just tested on a kitchen bowl. It all depends on how hard the curves are. The small bowl I tried first, didn't work out well.

Most of the engine cover's are textured so you would get samll air bubbles under the surface which might get bigger.
The smoother the item you are covering the better the finnish you will get.

Nothing a bit of sand paper can't fix

That requires some serious precise cutting and a hell of a sharp knife!

Scalpel

I must say that the stuff from ebay (i kindly followed D.Ks advice and bought it from the same place he did) is really good stuff

Did I miss something , which seller is recommended?

if you really want to clean up the latch area remove it first then sink in a smaller filler piece and trim around the edge ?

from above you'd need to look hard to see though anyway

One of the problems with the rear badge is the clearance whrere the "S" goes into the houseing, where I have put the carbon on mine when I open it it does'nt come all the way out on it's own.

 

[Fl@pper]

sorry DK i meant the glovebox

mind you handle wise you could always strip it down and rub a mm off it all round ?

 

[v-g]

You Southern Pikey, you gave me an idea on the glovebox. Not quite what you said, but an idea.

 

[v-g]

On the subject of rear "S" badges. Here's mine:

 

[v-g]

Just a thought. The rear wiper arm could be the next victim.

I looked at that but thought it might be a bit over the top

Along with the cf playing, I replaced my too short Golf chromed bonnet lifter with this self painted stock one. Same red as the car.

Now I can hover in the engine bay without worrying about the bonnet scalping me.

This should do the foil cutting a bit easier:

Apparently she still doesn't believe there wasn't an illegal drug taking operation going on

You're a funny guy Pat!

Not much to write about and it doesn't improve the car in anyway other than add some weight.

Genuine official SEAT Sport lanyard. Directly from Spain.

No, I'm not going to wear it around my neck.
