Carbon fibre number plate surround & badge

[Lee - Cupra]

I thought i would share with you a few pictures of the carbon fibre vinyl i have fitted to my rear bumper & front badge, I'm happy with the end result anyway and plan to do the side bump strips, back badge, front number plate surround & roof with the stuff in the next week so i will post pictures up of them too
thanks for looking
Lee

Looks really smart mate, considering doing something similar to my own. Love the little Cupra badge on the front grill too, did that come on the car?

Not a fan of the "turbo" badge on the rear though..

Cheers mate, I put the Cupra badge & the honeycomb grilles on last week, also the turbo badge on the back !!! I don't think it looks too bad in the flesh really but its not going to be everybody's cup of tea, below is the link for the vinyl i used anyway if you want to order some

I have done my rear and front number plate surrounds in the real stuff and i think it looks good too. Also done my engine cover too as the old seat sport bit came adrift and creased so it looked pants. Will post up some pics of mine tomorrow.

Turbo badge looks stupider than i am fully able to communicate to you in words.

Your entitled to your opinion, I think it looks fine and thats all that matters to me

But more importantly you are letting the mk4 cupra lot down by making your car look like a dappy chav wagon

Lol
A chav would put it on his 1.1 saxo and not a car with a actual turbo which my car happens to have

Looks good on both badge and number plate surrounds thinking of having a pop myself, what heat did you set your heat gun?

Not a fan of extra "turbo" badges though I must say

carbon fibre should have been standard!

Its not that difficult but i have been in the sign game for the last 12 years so i would say that, make sure you have a heat gun to stretch the vinyl round the edges of the badge and a sharp scalpel to trim the vinyl, Take your time and you will do a good job

 

[matt1288]

sounds like alot of ball ache for an amateur such as myself. i suppose the worst that can happen is it looks s**t and gets peeled off...

Did you leave the badge in the grille to do it?
