I posted a thread last night about the need for lowering if you put 17" wheels on your SEAT. Apparantly it seems as if this has been an ongoing debate for sometime so I'd appreciate if you could all vote on my poll.

I realise that a Cupra Sports Ibiza is going to look lower than a 1.4 anyway so just vote on what you think.

Cheers Guys

Actually, I found it on DVLA site for £250, no joke.

Just gotta save, along with all the other crap I want for my car!

Thew,

A bit 'off-topic' I know, but where did you get your front splitter and mirror casings, colour-coded???

It's just what I've been thinking about doing to mine ;) except I've been quoted £400 !!!!

cheers

A friend of a friends body shop, you could give him a try, probably be about £180....I got the bit at the back below the bumper done too and the side skirts, the price wont vary much as he can do it all with the same size tin of paint. He also did a very good job of fitting my Skirts too.....

Thew, That spray job looks pretty good. What about close up ? Can you tell much that it's paint on plastic ?
