My Seat Leon Cupra R! - Pics & Plans!

[RS6]

update well i didn't think the wing mirror covers looked to bad and have fitted them this evening! covers the scratches enough for me!

 

[AntneeUK]

Got pics of them fitted?

 

[RS6]

no pics yet will get some for you on the weekend! as far as i can see the drivers side wing mirror fits fine, the passenger side one, is every so slightly different meaning it doesn't cover completely at the bottom of the wing mirror getting down to the black plastic, they still look good enough to me though, i used no more nails glue, mine came in a proper box with special delivery postage

sat im fitting my new splitter and gear knob and HID kit for the lights so will get snaps of everything

 

[AntneeUK]

Yeah, mine was packaged fine and was signed-recorded, it just only cost a couple of quid, not £6

 

[RS6]

yeah well i think i can live with them tbh! it doesn't bother me they don't cover the whole wing mirror its doubful you can get a full carbon one that covers everything, with out getting it custom made costing silly money, the guy at work reckoned they were real carbon fibre, i can't see there being any interchangeable clip on parts being made swapping black for carbon so this will have to do,

you can barely notice the difference in the 2 wing covers so im happy

also my new wind deflectors cover the gap so it goes straight from base plate to wing mirror and you don't see where the carbon doesn't cover if that makes any sense the wind deflectors stick out enough so you just see the carbon from inside the car

 

[AntneeUK]

I'm glad you're happy with it anyway mate

 

[RS6]

i will get pics and try and sway you!!

[AntneeUK]

I had a message back from the seller of the wing mirror covers today, saying that I've used superglue to try to adhere mine. What? I didn't even try to put them on! At least I got the refund that I wanted

 

[Chino_UK]

...im also having it detailed and de-swirled on the 20th...

de-swirling? is that what it sounds, and is getting all those tiny little imperfections out of the paint?
if so, how can you do that, my leon suffers from that pretty bad. also, those new mirrors are hot!

 

[AntneeUK]

I think a mix of polishes etc and a machine-polisher sorts it usually
