Wow, seal it in amber whilst it's shiny shiny!!! Um, I've stayed out of the but I really like the black / copper. I assume you are going to leave the copper bits copper?

Yeah I love the copper on black. It isn't as 'in your face' as I was expecting, which is good. And it is certainly a head turner. Though, it's dirty already with all these gritters around and motorway driving!

Whens it going in for a remap? Are you getting it ceramic coated? Love the wheels!! Need close up pics of the calipers. I can just about make out drilled discs.

It's off to get it's pre-map scan and readings tomorrow. Then will create a tuning plan from there

And no, it's not a scratch on the wheel arch - it's Seat being rubbish at polishing/waxing and leaving it like that...

No way!! There's a tiny Cupra logo in copper on the wheels!

. I like it, wasting no time.

I was thinking that. But I didn't want to spoil it for you by mentioning it. But then I did think it could equally be polish that hadn't been buffed off.

That is shiny! get it wrapped clear to protect from stone chips lol

That thing best be shiny at the meet...

For the 24 hour recording does it have wifi upload when your outside your house so if someone nicks it you have pictures etc lol

You've joined the elite of the R status... Shame it's not blue...

If it were mine, I'd put it in a glass case and never take it outside!!

Haha, can't have everything eh!?

 

[Jimbobcook]

Are we sorting a selfie stick for pictures with the MK3 Cupra R? #dontlickthepaintwork

After the ceramic coating of course, I'm not a savage!

 

[paddy6789]

I need to find a good ceramic coating product I can apply myself...

Stop being tight and get it done properly you know its worth it in the long run.

Very very nice car, I loved your old one but this is going to be a lot better.

Is the exhaust ok for the upgrades or will you need to replace it.

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at Blackpool meet.

Fair point @paddy6789 I wouldn't do it myself lol I would probably set a few bugs in the paintwork knowing my luck haha for 2 years you'd have a fly in amber on your car that you couldn't remove lol oh that would piss me off!

 

[TheSwede]

@paddy6789 Looks great!

I’m sure you will enjoy it!

Regarding the copper, this is an odd colour, it stands out so to say. It ‘s not very dominating perhaps exempt for the mirrors. If one want to change the colour on them just order CF covers/caps. It will match the other CF parts on the car. I will stick with my copper caps a while .
