Deleting 'fake' exhaust tips on base model Leon V

[Michael_LeonV]

Hiya,

Whilst many enjoy the option of the big exhaust tips and louder sounds, I'm the opposite, in that I want to delete the fake dual; tips on the rear bumper and just have a plain cover.

My car (2024 Leon V Tribe Edition) has the fake tips in the rear valence but exhaust exits under the car (which suits me).

Is there any available covers that can replace the fake tips ?

Cheers

Michael

You mean to cover these "fake exhausts"??
Well, there is nothing to cover as there is "nothing"..

What you can try is to dip them in black not to shine there, that's all I think.

Well, I'd argue that I'm covering the fakeness, but agree that there is nothing there, but yes, that's the part I'm talking about.

Yes, I think painting is the likely option.

I was hoping that there was a version of a Cupra that conveniently didn't have the fakery that I could swap out the parts, but knowing how modern car manufacturing works, there isn't such a thing.
Unless I 3D printed something .....

Much worse is a thing, that these fakes are shiny silver on a car with bronze details
You see it even on the posted picture, bronze details on wheels, bronze detail on back logo, but silver fakes..
I have it the same, these fakes are the only silver things on whole car, I hate it!
And stupidity is even higher, there is a specification with bronze fakes (so they have them manufactured!) but designers forgot to put these bronze fakes in so called extra "design pack", with bronze wheels.. OMG!

Yep !

My car is the Tribe Edition of the Leon V, so has the same mags as per the picture, but I've got the Magnetic Tech colour, so stands out even more !

About the only thing I really don't like about the car . I dare not think about the cost of the Copper fakes .....

I’ve got the v1 but I wanted to add an exhaust system would I be able to replace the fakes with real exhaust tips?
