Ive been thinking of doing my Seat logos in gloss black, but those would look even better I think. Hope that someone will going to manufacture them soon.
If you are talking facelift, front one is really easy to wrap, just pulls out in 2 pieces, just make you rememeber which is top and which is bottom. People say use a screw driver. Wasn't keen on that, we started wrapping them in matt black, changed my mind and wanted gloss and when pulling the wrap off the chrome it pulled the chrome out of the grill. Happy days.

The best bit is you don't even need to wrap to the very edges perfectly, as about 1-2mm sits in side a plastic surround that's part of the grill, so if your edges a re a bit rough where you cut them, and you can still see chrome you'll never see it fitted. :)

The rear however is another story. After several failed attempts by the guy who did the rest of my car, and a few attempts by myself, I gave up and just bought a painted one from https://rbstyling.com/ that @SitdownandhaveaCupratea recommended.

Its worth mentioning though on that website, if you change it from German to English, certain options disappear. They also do the other badges properly painted, but then it adds up! £100 for a painted rear boot badge, isn't cheap (consideinrg a chrome one from ebay is about £35).

Just waiting on mine turning up now and the joy of dismantling by boot lid liner.

Removed the Cupra flag badges from the front/back along with the 300 from the back. Also removed the number plate holder from the front, looks smart for my taste now.

Finally got my 034 Motorsport Insert fitted.

Initial thoughts are that there is a little extra vibration on engine start but there doesn’t appear to be excessive. Gear shifts are tighter and the feel of the engine swaying appears to have stopped.

I heard there is usually a lot of vibration when going into reverse but I haven’t come across this the times I’ve reversed.

On the whole I’m thinking why did it take so long to do it.

Do you know if the side skirts on eBay are any good? They’re like the Oem ones but not if you know what I mean. From like Poland or somewhere.

All in time .

What’s I read about you and Merc AMG? You looking to get one after the Carbon?
It’s been my plan for a while now. Either merc c63 (or whatever the new version is) or m3 in 2022 :) We’ll see. May change my mind and just get 2 cheaper cars instead. 3 door Cupra and keep the Carbon...
