Looking really good mate. That's the only shame with the ovni yellow, fades easily!

You glad you went for the cupra over the s3?? lol.

Also today.

Attempted to have a Gloss black vinyl to be put on the roof.

vinyl + Monkeys = Ruined!

yh i really am having much more fun that i imagined!

i was worried with an s3 that id get bored after 6 months

these appear to be endless in fun! and they suprise so many other road users

will now have to wait 2 weeks with roof in this state before the body shop can get to it

Leons stand out a bit more than S3s too I think!

There's a few other yellow leons on here that have had the black vinyl roof done. Looks a million times better! I nearly went for a yellow leon, but the paint fade on the ones I saw was off putting!

I think your bang on the money the upkeep to the colour is awful!
But i came across the car i hadnt even contemplated a leon.
the car has full electric leather so it has all the things i was looking for.
i didnt even hagle just asked for tax.

which is stupid really as im a cars salesman.
i swear we are the easiest to sell too!

no just cover it up and move on!

im going to get all the laquer removed and smothed and then get the vinyl on.

2nd time lucky?....

Suppose thats the best way forward.
