Still debating removing the white vinyl as im a sucker for loving a good polished paint

bagged fr , k1 rep , 19s
How long has the vinyl been on? what are the chances that the paint would be a different shade lol (only going from old cars before)

Looks like it could do with a good clean imo

I’ve never had Leather Seats before. What’s the norm with cleaning and looking after them?
Haha this was before I got Autoglym Leather cleaner and Leather balm. Just take your time I find. I'm sure there's loads more I could do but just the Leather balm and cleaner for me

I personally like the contrast of the 2 colours it's unique which doesn't happen very often these days. maybe part of me wants you to keep it in case the paint is different colours haha that would bother me.

I'd love to do detailing on the side but I think I take too much time as I'm a little OCD and it would be worse with other peoples cars lol 6 hours to do the exterior isn't a day job haha be awesome though.

You need to get the shoe size off that print so you can track them down... Did you have to do the whole bonnet in case the rest of it wasn't as clean haha normally I would clean the car before going anywhere but for an MOT I think i'll leave it till after.

Mine look like this... not sure if it's good or bad lol

LOL... I managed to supress my ocd, for now. But next sunny day I'm polishing and rewaxing the whole bonnet. Mine for comparsion. Note the creases in the passenger side as well eeekk.

I'm not sure if we have an issue considering we're bothered about creases in our 7/8 year old leather seats haha

Ye, it doesn't seem as bad in the photos as it is in my mind. Got confused as I was putting the post together and got our interiors confused LOL. That's the trub of owning the same car.

You have the armrest lol I think I now have blue mats although not the same lol I like to keep you on your toes clearly haha

The fact that we both got the same car must mean we clearly know what's awesome haha I was sold when they said the paint was called speed/sprint blue haha that's got to be worth extra bhp having fast paint...

Take up the detailing full time, keep the Mk2 and then treat yourself to a MK3’s 300.

Gives you plenty of detailing opportunities as well as two great cars.
I'd need to get a detailing van then instead of the 300... I do think me and @Legojon should start a detailing company for the forum lol

If only we could all justify to the other halfs on why we need 2 cupras lol

Saying that the mk2 lcr has all the pinnings to maintain its value

Mk1 lcr's are everywhere

That's world peace type stuff there!

Yeah considering I can buy a 280 for the same price that I got this car for with the same sort of mileage (37k) they will be worth something if kept well.

The issue is the other half knows I have life insurance lol lets not give her more incentive haha
Youl have to make sure you prepare and cook dinner from now on then

I convinced my partner in letting me keep my cupra and buy a focus st by letting her use the st as her daily , aslong as they think they are gaining its all good.

I then got the fr so cleverly i now let her daily the leon and i have reclaimed the st as my weekend car (have my own work van to use for work)

Happy wife happy life
