once the boot S section is out there is a long pin which holds the 's' in place and you push the pin through and the S falls out
Ah right , Ill have a go some day... Dont wana go ott with paint/carbon :)
Can you actually get the chrome 's' bit off then? Might order a spare one up to get sprayed
The front or back? Both come off but the backs alot harder :)

Did try and keep the grill how it was , when we sanded it was too thin a layer that you could see the chrome under.. The grills been re sanded/ laquered but its hardly perfect.. Loooks good still though :) ..

Same.. The modifying of the bumper is 80 percent done with the sanding.. Another hour or so and should be done... I've got a splitter .. Its screwed down to some wood after i heat gunned it to match the shape of the cupra bumper following the template i made useing the bumper :)

eh, how much sanding did you do?lol it was a good 2-3mm thick the carbon haha

Not keen with the splitters on cupra bumpers, looks daft in the middle cos the bumper extends down either side. Id you manage to sus this problem you can do mine haha

It wasnt that it was the edges that seemed to be thin hard to explain really.. Just didn't work out right.. Same with the surround but i managed to get that done to a good look :)

Im not a fan either unless done right.. Ill see how this one goes probably be modified to high hevan by the time im finished.. May even cut it in half and plastic weld then re smooth it together :)

Remind me i need to somehow get those fogs of you sometime , Might have to send someone for them since i cant drive lol

Like the S badge actually, Nor keen on rear custom code sticker either tbh it will get ruined by the exhaust anyway no doubt your car being de-badged it just looks wrong with stickers on IMO but up to you obviously.
Ha my Dad hates the fact I have 2 bumpers and exhaust and a box of standard bits in the garage oh yeh and 5 wheels and boxes of detailing stuff he keeps saying what you gonna do with them why don't you sell them. I try not to mentioned all the crap golf paraphernalia he keeps!
