Please don't, I like it without the stickers but as @Jimbobcook said this car stands out from the crowd.
However you have made it easier for me because (as i have a white car) I can now think about a Red strip instead of wrapping the whole car.
When I have saved the money and not spent it on something else that is.

What are you going to replace the Air Ride with, stock or are you going coilover or something else.

Keep it on and save the colour correction you'll have to do and it looks good anyway.

So Skeggy beach is same as always... Plenty of chavs lol I don't think the other half understands parking in thr biggest space and next to nice cars yet lol

Hmm but accidents happen right?

Haha I like to go once round the car park first and pick 3-4 spaces I like before settling on one. Guaranteed it will be the furthest from the attractions, only allow parking on one side and if possible the paint guy made a horrible miscalculation and it's wider than the others.

Ive got some kw v1 coilovers to go on over the next few days

I like a car feeling tight to have air and slam it the way it does you have to remove the front anti roll bar and drop links.

Yeah it looks nice low and aired out but im a driver not a poser lol

Let us know what they are like once they are on. I've currently got springs, but am looking to get either the V1s or Pro Street S.

Well I have taken my cupra (standard) upto 158 mph (satnav) 165mph on speedo....and was surprisingly smooth...now I,ve done it twice and proved to myself that it is possible any time I,m happy ….and with engine on 148.000 its a testament to the 2.0tfsi engines ….

Just got back after a pretty busy road from skeggy...

So much traffic that I managed 41mpg... Beat that @Legojon haha

I thought most eu manufacturers limited to 155mph? My stage 1 cupra tfsi run out of puff around 150 so suspect it wouldnt do much more

Yep I also though most EU cars were limited to 155mph... Looking forward to driving on the autobahn next year for my yearly trip to a festival there lol

My car loves me lol it was single lane roads doing 50 for 60 odd miles... That was zero chances to accelerate with any gusto... Had a chance to listen to all the songs I have planned for the wedding music lol
