CUPRA Born Forum

OK. Anyone found anything sexy to add to their car?

I'll start with my little purchases (and this list will grow)...

Brilliant bit of kit. Charges the car far faster than you would think. Very handy if visiting someone who doesn't have a charging point:

Can't recommend these enough. Brilliant. Covers for the keys:

I added this clip hook and it looks great:

Boot liner. These are out of stock, but for £22.50, they are brilliant and fit well:

Lovely charger lead bag:

As discussed in another thread, 90 degree USB C adapters. No more bending anything plugged into the USB ports:

USB C to standard USB adapters:

Great list, thanks.

Brilliant thanks

I've got the key covers, they're much easier to keep hold of than the slippy key on its own.

So no cable bag with the Born?

Yes, it came with a bag. This bag is nicer!

As you've started this thread, can I bump up my previous (and relevant) request?

On my last few cars I have added door sill plates to minimise damage from feet being dragged across the sill edge. The best ones I have found are made by Lockwood International in Leeds. Partly because of the high quality of the plates but also because they extend down over the sill edge where most damage occurs. And they look really great.

I contacted them about plates for the Cupra Born and although they don't make them yet, they are willing to develop them for the car if they can get a sample to work from. Unfortunately, I don't have my car yet and they are about 100 miles away from me so I can't help

However if someone in the Leeds area is willing to take their car along to the industrial unit Lockwood will make up a sample while they wait and will fit them (they offered me this for free but check with them). Normal cost is around £35 to £38.

If anyone wants to take them up on their offer, their web site info is here: https://lockwoodinternational.co.uk/

Note that I have no connection with the company except as a repeat customer.

Here is a photo of the set on my existing car, passenger side. Note that the Lockwood set is the two plates outside the door seal. The one inside the door seal is a standard VW fitting. The full set is two plates for each of the four doors.

If they have an existing pattern for a VW ID3, they could use those and change the logo.

I thought that as well, but they don't have the ID.3 listed either. I didn't want to suggest it as I wasn't certain that they were identical.
I haven't found any alternatives that have the same quality, and I have a regular passenger who has difficulty getting her legs and feet into the car and tends to scrape across the sills.

So far on ours:

Fitcam X style dashcam- Branded Lenovo from Taobao
Keycovers- Aliexpress
Door Striker covers- Aliexpress
Mudflaps (awaiting fitment)
Right angle USB adaptors- Amazon
Sunglass clip- Stuck onto panel above rear view mirror- Aliexpress
Boot mat- Ebay was £25 but no longer advertised for sale.
Touch screen Protector in glass- Aliexpress

Awaiting to be done:

Windscreen top tint, no one makes a pre-cut one yet. Holding out for it.
Rear Speaker mod with DSP- Remove front speakers, re-use in back doors. Fit Focals up front and wire in Puzu DSP. (Spring next year as don't want to deal with brittle panels in the winter cold)
