My New Seat Leon 1.8T 20V Cupra

[M355Y]

I am collecting my new pride and joy Tuesday a Seat Leon 1.8l 20V Turbo Cupra 53 plate with 37k on the clock bargain

Going to hopefully VERY soon get a remap/ dump valve/ BMC air induction/ exhaust (full system)/ window tints bring it on lol

Bit of an upgrade from my punto http://www.cruise4c.co.uk/HTML_Files/M355Y.html

I am buying these tomorrow and collecting in 2 weeks time (busy time lol)

I would like to debadge it DIY style how easy will it be??? and whats the best substance to use to get it off without seeing the shadow of where the badges were when they are off!!

Comments welcome!

Thanks for your replies...I am not going for your souped up body kit big sub in boot styling anymore I thought time to beat the other half and buy a faster car than him now (Passat) and what he had in the past (328I BMW) before he goes and buys his Impreza or something (I dont listen) then play with it and give it even more power.

But man...1.2 8V to 1.8 20V T blimey yup you feel just a little bit of difference.

Anyone debadged their car themselves??? How easy is it and how did you do it?
Are they 'glued' on or 'screwed' on (some fiats have screwed on ones ya see)

Welcome to the club. I know what you mean about the power jump - I went from a 1.4 Fiat Bravo SX to mine.

4 Years on however....

You were clearly very excited (and rightly so) when taking the interior shot!

 

[ian_cupra]

its just glued on, really easy to take off

 

[Roelích]

They're glued as far as I am aware. Use Auto Glym Tar Remover for any glue that's stubborn and won't come off!

Lovely car anyway, looks like a nice one. Enjoy it

lol those were the pics on Autotrader that my work (who sold the car to me) took them so nuh

Ahhh so fiat owners transfer to Seat owners is it cos they rhyme

 

[cupra_brown]

i came from fiat to seat also..
Ohhh how i dont miss the bravo 1.6 hlx......

Blimey more than two maybe there should be a new post (unless there already is one) finding out what make of car they came from! All my past cars uhum all 2 of them were Fiats lol

Bought my RS6 alloys going to collect them next Saturday woo hoo

I de-badged my car. I used dental floss to get the badges off, WD40 to remove the glue (I probably shouldn’t have used that). Then T cut, then polish. My badges were corroding so looks much better without them!

Looks nice in black!

Do you think the colour of the car will have faded much in 4 years??? (just thinking with the taking off of badges)
