That's come up remarkably well from the initial photo! Will the Cupra lettering be ok when you push the dent out? Glad it's not too serious (in the grand scheme of things) - pains me to see such a nice car damaged though!
No idea.
It's only £40/50 to replace or I might just leave it debadged.

Decided to replace the center strip of the DSG gear knob with a chrome version - I'm not normally a fan of chrome I'll be honest, but there's plenty in the cabin already I can't do anything about
It was annoying me that the gaiter top is chrome from the factory, and the part of it that starts the center strip makes it look like the whole strip should be, rather than black leather. To me at least it looked disjointed
Anyway, before;
After:
Not bad for a whole £2 from AliExpress
Also decided to remove the original foot pedals and install some genuine VW metal sports pedals... Brake cover came off easily, turned out what I thought was a textured pedal cover on the accelerator was actually just the bare metal! So it obviously had no accelerator pedal cover when I bought it
Looks nicer now anyway, and they feel nice underfoot when driving
Just need to find a decent quality dead pedal cover now. Can't find a nice one for right hand drive DSG though...

Cheers, ordered one like that from a UK seller... But it's miles smaller than the factory one?! Are these all for the manual? The DSG dead pedal is much wider
On a different note - fitted an arm rest cover over the factory fitted lid, as when I drive my elbow always rests on the armrest... And in my old car I very quickly rubbed a bald patch in the leather, and had to have it recovered...
Fits nicely, the fake leather is a decent match for the sport seats and the red stitching matches perfectly! Also actually got a decent amount of padding in it too
Oooooo I like that. Do you have a link, please?Cheers, ordered one like that from a UK seller... But it's miles smaller than the factory one?! Are these all for the manual? The DSG dead pedal is much wider

Here you go!
It's approx £10-11 on AliExpress, but obviously you now have taxes etc on top, so tbh worked out the same and I got it next day...
Was so impressed I actually reviewed it on Amazon!
Other day woke up 6am and gave my Grey one a outside clean..

Finally got my sensors installed in the rims!
It's nice to know the tires are allright with some more detail. My previous car was a screw-magnet.. having this gives a bit more confidence everything is okay.

Great work. I'm just waiting for my loom to arrive from Ali having got the valves and ECU. Out of interest where did you mount the vehicle antenna and which orientation did you got for?
