Can't see the pic, any chance of another? Wanting to do the same to mine and wanted to see how it looked.

Did you have to remove the entire front bumper?
I would also like a look at this. Been meaning to do this!

Replaced boot dampers to enable opening with the key fob.

Is it hard to close boot with those dampers?

Yes it is harder to close as my missus used to moan after I done it on my last Cupra , I liked it but she didn't lol and the stock.is so light it's no biggy.

I've just brought some Plasti Dip, Vinyl Wrap and some light tinting wrap and am planning on blacking out a few bits of the car (Silver trim, Badges, Lights) Tonight or tomorrow.

Did you have to fiddle with vagcom to get this working or once you replace the dampners it just pops open?

I used plasti dip on my S badges and the Cupra letters, looks much better I think

Fitted the better washer jets and sound deadening under the rear seats and half the boot.

Also sprayed a badge for replacing the front one.

I got heated ones from Mike at Listers for about £53. The none heated ones are cheaper at around £26.

May be a little costly but they are genuine SEAT parts.

You will need to check if you need heated or not. Easily done by just uncoupling your current ones.
