Had both my silencers removed by EMP performance, it makes such a big difference from the stock system!

Plastidip. I'm converted, that was the easy application ever.

also did the back. Messed the boot badge up but true to advertised it just came straight off, ill have another go this week.

it has a slightly 'orange peel' look but you need to get very close to see it. Wear and tear is a wait and see but tbh it comes off so easy i dont really care.



So you just mask around what you don't want covered with it and spray away?
Then peel off any overspray?

They give you a lifetime guarantee anyway. But I doubt I'll have to go back unless I want to go full turbo back haha

My Leon had it's first service today(service light came on during my 1000 mile road trip last week) no issues.... when I dropped the car off I was given a lift into the city centre in an Ibiza cupra which was nice...

Matt black. I got the Phantom black paint so gloss would have been meh. I think the colour is almost identical to the OEM plastics.

Word on the boot badge. It's a slightly different shape to the front badge so peel the dip off around it but leave the top and bottom triangle within the S alone or you'll be redoing it.

I found this out the hard way. Tried to peel the 2 small triangles out and pulled the whole thing off. Left it chrome now as couldn't be bothered to mask it all again lol. Not got round to doing the front badge yet.

Finally got round to fitting the front mud flaps today. Didn't take to long really once the wheel is off.

Thank you guys! It's the new (2015) BLQ model. Specs: 8.5 19" ET 45 with a 215 35 19 kumho tyre. Tyres were already mounted when I bought the set, otherwise I would have chosen 225 35.

I also was thinking of ordering a set Bbs Sr. It's a lovely wheel for a decent price!
