Reiger diffuser arrived today so will see about getting that on at the weekend. I wont be able to do the splitter and side skirts till this coronavirus crap clears up. The garage is closed so can't get the guy to fit and paint the parts.

Looking the part!, I have an identical in same colour, just considering the carbon front splitter but the sheer cost is putting me off £500+vat. ( virtual dash money)
The other question is when you replaced the front side intake grills you loose the light , so does this flag up any bulb warning lights on the dash?
No bulb warnings no. I expected them and had my coding app at the ready but it was literally just unplug. One thing i have not done since i did the mod was put the light selector in to the fog light setting. I did wonder what that might do but have not tried it yet.
I had already disabled the turning lights anyway because that was more annoying than helpful. I don't miss the lights at all.
And the carbon spoiler? Did you buy that direct from a Seat dealer or TPS or another company?
Small update, pictures are at the front of the thread. Fitted the reiger diffuser today. Found a rather helpful Spanish video and after watching it 20 or so times, I worked out all that was needed was a good tug.
All in all took me about 30 minutes to fit.

I bought direct from my local dealership. It was the splitter not the spoiler. I was given some compensation for the delay in my delivery so put that towards it.
A small update perhaps, just to say the car is out of quarantine, on 4,000 miles and I'm still just as excited to drive it every time I pick the keys up.
Been working on a lot of things that got in the way of adding mods to my car, new house, university, work, corna etc etc. Anyway, I've been ringing round for timings to get the final touches to the aesthetics I wanted. The splitter and side blades.
And someone has convinced me to buy a JB4 box, that's some way off yet and i want to change a few thinks like the air intake and filter before then.
For now though, here is a picture out and about.

I don't see this image on your Instagram lol was just about to repost it haha
I do really like desire red, what's it like to keep clean? One assumes it hides dirt quite well...
I looked at a jb4 as well, would you get the Bluetooth version to swap between stock and map etc lol

I haven't posted it yet, will put it up later today. Wanted to add a watermark but have yet to decide on one as I am going to change the Instagram handle as well.
In terms of keeping clean, it looks clean so long as there is no lumps of mud on it, quite easy to do where I live. Country lanes on all roads in and out of my village. It hasn't done a winter yet. For the most part though, snow foam and pressure wash every now and then gets most of the dirt off. The gravel on my drive is quite dusty and I keep it under cover so the dust often settles on the car, especially when it is newly cleaned which is irritating but you don't notice it from a distance due to the metallic paint.
The most irritating thing is the wheels to be honest. Bought myself a special soft brush to get between the spokes but I don't think I've cleaned it once without there being some grime somewhere in the corners of the spokes.
I am not sure about the Bluetooth version, I've been led to believe that the drive profiles still work, and since I own the car I'm not so worried about voiding a lease agreement.
