They did well, good match - good quality of work. Its going back when the upper spoiler arrives, its also going to have one of the skirts replaced as the quality isn't great.
I added a few badges and removed the SEAT, TOLEDO and V5, added number plates and surrounds. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!

Looks great mate good work
looks great.
love the colour.
Very nice. What's the red badge on the grill?
Put up more pics when you get the roof spoiler on. Personally prefer to see just the roof spoiler without the boot one, but that's just me. Looking good though.

Looks very smart all one colour, what you've done really blends the whole car too - don't normally like Toledos either but that's lovely.

Thanks for all the comments - the colour has really grown on me. Especially since its been buffed up. Its got a pearl to it and its not as "brown" as I thought!
The badge is a Seat Sport one, one on the back too. Keeps people guessing.

*points at shiny toledo* i wish my Leon looked as smooth as that!
Looking good , I think the german plates make the quite a difference to the car. I`ve had to take mine off as they`re having a clampdown and doing on the spot fines locally on illegal plates . Any more mods planned ?

Have been fine with the plates, but they haven't been on there too long. They do really change the look of the car. I do keep the original plates in the car however.
As far for more mods, just the spoiler and I think thats it. Maybe I will get it chipped and a Miltek in a few months.
Anymore ideas?
Bigfella what are you alloys ?? as in make and size as i like them and i'am thinking of investing in some soon..
Bigfella, love the car, but....
Am I the only one that thinks it would look cleaner with no rear spoiler or one that was a lip type as used on M3's?

Just a thought ;)

I agree, if I had a BMW.
Or if they were available in the correct shape for the Toledo.
Looking fine fella!!
Are the chin spoilers usually unpainted?

IMO the tolly is But ugly with nothing on the boot.....it has to have something, it just looks too plain otherwise.
i know you can get the Beemer style spoiler for the Bora, but havent seen it for the tolly.........
every splitter i have seen has been black Stu, but i guess you could paint it....mind you if you did paint it and then whack it on a ............say .........speed bump....i think it would get messy quite quickly.

Haha!
Yes I have, its at the body shop now, just waiting on the replacement skirt then he can start spraying them. I'll have to pop down another day to have them fitted. Hope they will be OK!

Makes sense.
It just seemed a shame to have one unpainted component amongst all the smooth gold shininess, IMO.
You're right, the backend of the Toledo is, well, butt ugly. I just think that now the rest of the car looks so smooth, aided by the colour coding, the rear spoiler sticking up looks at odds witht he rest of the car.
I reckon the problem is the lights and that red brake light that runs all across the rear that ruins the back end. The leon looks worse!!!
