Joined up a few months ago with the intention of receiving a lease hire Cupra 290, it never materialised. Dates kept getting pushed back, March became April, April became June etc until they finally said August.
I gave up, told them to cancel the order and take my 1.0 Focus back.
So after much shopping around I picked up a 2016 Cupra last Friday.
Genuinely louder and faster than I'd expected but coming from a 3 cylinder Focus I guess I underestimated the Leon
All these months reading the forum meant I was well prepared for minor mods when the time came.
New 3D plates, recoded a lot of little bits here and there with the help of a knowledgeable friend, painted the badges with the help of the boot trim and badge removal guide (didn't bother removing the front as shown in the Covid approved face mask pic) and also bought a Chipex colour coded kit to mask the age related pock marks and one glaring scratch.
All recommended on previous posts on this forum.
Spent 3hrs last night washing and preparing for today's shoulder killing polishing adventure.
(Good god the shoulder pain)
Seventy three bucket safe wash etc etc etc
Fine cut all over, heavy cut on a few bad areas, polished, sealed and waxed. SiO2 sealant on all glass.
I'm still on the lookout for a black front lip/low profile splitter and a rear wiper delete bung.
Thank you all for your input that I've pondered over and taken on board, this forum has a heap of knowledge to search.
