I've bought the genuine cupra lettering off Amazon and changed them that way and for the seat badges I bought some vinyl stickers that go over the top and they look pretty good,took me less than half an hour to change it all looks far better on a white car.
Made a nice job of the plasti dipping chap!

Hi Mate

I saw the Vinyl stickers on Amazon do they cover the entire 'S'. e.g. would they hide the copper or would you still be able to see the edges?

Cheers

No they don't completely cover all the way around the edges,that looks fine with chrome but might look a little silly on copper!

Picked mine up the last weekend of November. Dealer said it was the first copper badged one out of the factory!

Loving it so far but not too keen on the copper badges against the red so might wrap them in carbon or something?
Also still waiting for the pops and bangs to come through from the exhaust as haven't done a huge amount of miles in it yet.

looks great in red. sorry to disappoint on the bans though, iv done 900 miles so far and no bangs yet muted pops now and again. unless it opens up after 1k miles then I think the best option is a res delete for £100

Yes I think I might wait until the 1k miles mark and see what it's like after that? Planning a fair amount of miles over Christmas so hopefully it comes out then.

Only question I have with the Res delete is regarding lease terms etc? Mine is on lease so will need to check if this minor mod is allowed within the terms.

I know alot of people have been told that providing its put back to its original state at the end of your lease term then it's fine, but you're always better off ringing your lease company and finding out for yourself.

I couldn't be 100% to be honest mate, I seen a few of the lads were talking about it in the 'Who's ordered a Cupra' thread but it was a while back, ask the question in there and their may be a few people who know better than me, I've personally ordered mine PCP and I know that VWFS have said it's allowed providing it'a reinstated.
