Cheers for that mate! That gives me a good idea of what it'd look like! That's very tempting to get done to be honest.
James you'd probs know this mate, are the strips pretty easy to take off? I don't want to be without a car for a while whilst it's in the bodyshop just for some bumper strips!

i did this a few days ago, just get a flat headed screw driver, cover the paintwork of the car and VERY gently lever it away from the car at one of the ends of the strip, it will pop off, then you will need to find the clip a bit further up and do the same, piece of p***, just try not to bend the end too much or they wont sit back properly, like the previous owner on mine

Cheers Mouse, Quick update...couldn't help but have a little play around with the car, so here's some updated pictures!
May not be to everyones taste with the black badge, but thought it would be cool to do so (don't feel the pics do it justice) :
Also had some UK pressed plates on too (if you noticed
)
The aero wipers off the Fabia vRS that i had on it:
Went round to Toms (minijiggs) off here on Sunday, and he actually wanted to clean my car! haha, was my lucky day. Here is his master work:
New tyres all round also:
The overall shot:

-Black front Seat badge

looking good mate, the black badge works really well! dont think it would work as well on a blue one, love the wipers as well...some good subtle mods going on

Cheers James, black and red are my two favourite colours together. I think they work really well! So that's my theme for the Cupra.
Subtle mods all the way mate, although I have just bought some neons to go under the car, and found some mint lexus lights on ebay too! Oh and some phat 19" TSWs! wow, will look amazing!

Awesome mate, car looks clean. Who did that
Well what can I say, the car is quick. Car picks up well and is very smooth through the gears. You've got to love the 20vt power.
Top job

Haha cheers Tom, because of you I went and spent £60 down Halfords on cleaning stuff!
You make me spend FAR too much money
