Yep it was done by c6 carbon. It was £90 for the grille. I have a few other bits being done too.

They apply the carbon over the existing grille, which makes refitting interesting. So some tweaking is required

Carbon grille still isn't fitted. The carbon fibre was a little thicker than the original grille so is getting reworked

I was thinking the other day it would be pretty cool if you could make a surround for the big mouth to sort of match the top and so it looks like an insert not just some mesh stuck in. Would look even cooler on yours i think with that mesh and a carbon surround like the top one.

Ooh now that's an idea Joe. That would look great. I'll look into that :)

Bad news. Carbon grille needed reworking, so has been sent back. Had to source a replacement grille. Luckily found a black magic one quite cheap although not from a Vrs.

It is so strange seeing my car with a chrome grille again

I ordered some plasti dip to correct this. Pics to follow.

I also ordered some new style badges

Hmm, it's not a folded in half Cupra splitter is it?

Exhaust?

Points go to Joe :)

It is an exhaust. Thought I'd try the piper zero silencer too.

I'll be looking to make a comprehensive review and video

What's your honest opinion on the two Charlie?

What's your honest opinion on the two Charlie?

They are both superb. I've had the 1 silencer for over a year and it is brilliant. I've not really listened to it from outside the car though and was surprised at how loud it was. The cabin makes it quieter but is still a great sound. Motorway cruising is comfortable with no droning at all.

Now I've only covered 200 miles with the zero silencer, but so far it's good. It sounds a little weird on Tick over from the outside, but for the most part I'll be driving so won't notice it. Cruising around its quiet, I did a range of motorway cruising, stop start and town driving. There is a little increased noise when cruising, a little rumble from the exhaust but nothing droney. Sensible acceleration is still quiet so early starts in quiet villages won't be a problem.

Now for the fun part. On boost its fantastic! The sound is unreal. It has a nice aggressive raspy bark. I giggled like a kid when I first heard it. It is so addictive. No owl/ pigeon noise either.

I'll report back after extended use.

You have probably answered this already but there are many posts!

Your mats? Did you have them stitched blue or dyed? Wanna have a green trim in mine to match my seats, there leather with green stitching!
