Unfortunately, that's a stick on cover, I want to replace the battered original key shell with a new one.

Have you looked on AliExpress? Pretty sure I saw a replacement shell advertised on there amongst all the other key covers....

Retro fitted the vertical wings. Simple plug & play for a Cupra.

Thinking of modding the factory intake, close the path to the engine and open up driver side for more air flow to air box. Also close the resonator chamber in the air box.

Then save for hybrid..

Been to Sunny Scarborough for a quick over night stay and a birthday curry in the Cupra
Slow trip back in all the bank holiday traffic but still managed to get a massive crack in my windscreen from a large stone thrown up by a passing car

Car is only 4 weeks old..grrr

Decided to invest in some cleaning products a a few months ago. Not sure what everyone else uses but I went for the Meguiars range. My Cupra had 2 washes, a polish and a wax, with tyre shine, blackener for around the windows and some windows/lights glass treatment. Took 4 hours but it looks brand new again! Can hear the pigeons talking to each other though...you just know my car will be used as target practice throughout the night...

Finally had a bit of wrapping done to the 300

Lip & Roof in Gloss Black

So this adds to:

Extended Trigger Shifters
Removal of Centre Silencer
Pipercross Air Filter
Hatchbag
Kenwood Dashcam DRV-410
Black Pack CUPRA Badging

Lots of ODB11 Mods (Start Stop Deactivation, Video In Motion, Open Door No Alarm, Seatbelt No Alarm, 4 Flash Indicators, One Click Folding Mirrors, Auto Fan Power Indication Lights, Scandinavian Always On Rear DRL LEDS)

I really want to go black on the SEAT badge front and rear - haven't figured out the best way to do this yet - the wrap guys said this wasn't great and recommended spraying. Removal of the rerouted badge is the scariest thing and then getting a spray done is a hassle.

So is it possible to enable to Audi style indicators on the Leon then? I've got a new one on order and something I'd be interested in...

If you mean the 'sweeping' light effect the answer is no - there isn't the hardware in the Led for that.

You can change the amount of flashes the 'comfort' indicator gives you- the default is 3 - i tried 5 and then settled on 4.

As NotSoSimple said there is no coding for this but you can buy the sweeping lights for your wingmirrors but I suspect they are very expensive. Example @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE_n1uD6cFA@

However on my old 280 there is a lot you can do with your rear lights (us style (at least 3 different mods) to enable combination of inner/outer lights with indicator.

On the front you can also do do various things with the DRL lights when indicating just to make it look different.

However if you go that route make sure you take backups as i dont know if these are legal.

Decided to give fitting a GFB Diverter Valve a go...Was a lot easier than I thought!
