So i had a 1.4 sport for the best part of 7 months but after seeing so many pictures of cupras/bocs on here i couldnt help myself and went and put my name down! so i went from this :

To this :

Had a pretty fast build as i didnt spec and options as i wanted the finance as low as possible so i only waited a month! :D would of loved xenons and racing brakes but i just couldnt afford :(
Picked her up on friday morning and covered 300 miles friday and saturday! it is a unbeliveable car. thought it would be hard to get used to the DSG but its so easy. didnt go for a clutch once!

Excuse the shite photos, iPhone!

Few people said they dont like the yellow but im quite fond of it!
Gave it a good wash and polish today as it was pretty filthy and there was brake dust all over the wheels!

Took advantage of the 3 for 2 in halfords and went abit Autoglym crazy!
Alloy wheel seal seemed a must as my last alloys were starting to corrode and go brown in the corners and i dont really want that to happen to these!

Few plans when money allows, side skirts and a spoiler.
Painting the roof & spoiler in black.
Lights tinting.
Both "S" badges wrapping in black vinal!

Ta for looking.

pretty amazing stuff, says to leave it on for 15 mins and then buff off. think I left it for half an hour but when i came back it was so easy to remove! would of got some photos of the finished but ive only got my shitty iPhone camera and it wouldnt of done it justice.
Getting round to ordering some LED numberplate bulbs next week and then the roof will be getting painted.

Looks nice.

I really wouldnt use the clean wheels as its an acidic cleaner. Just use shampoo and water to clean and to keep them cleaner get a good wheel sealant.

why wouldnt you recommend the acidic cleaners?? i use these for work and they are amazing for removing all sorts of dirt and leave the wheels looking brand new, just a shame it smells so bad.

Update

Had this done about a month or so now but never got round to getting any decent photos. Got the spoiler fitted and painted along with the roof black.

Sticking with the yellow and black theme i wrapped the boot handle black and had a CUPRA badge made in vinyl aswell. Finishes off the back end and looks so much better than the silver!

Also fitted LED sidelights and 8k HID's :

i seen a thread of someone taking their badge off and painting it but tbh it would be a right chew on and eventually just flake off from then chrome plastic crap.
