Probably about time I put up a thread for this, given I own it almost a year. I bought it standard but have added the following

• TRC front lip
• Rieger rear diffuser
• OEM spoiler
• Rear mudflaps
• Heko wind deflectors
• Wrapped behind the front number plate / de-chrome top grille

On the to do list to finish it off is:

• OEM side skirts (awaiting delivery - thanks to Andy from @SEAT Motor Parts for hel)
• Potentially add a small black lip to skirts, to tie in with gloss black lip and diffuser
• Potentially out a set of spacers on the rears

As much as I would prefer to be in a petrol, these are surprisingly a lot of fun for a diesel and have enjoyed the 16k I’ve put on this in 11 months. It’s also amazing how a few simple and very subtle mods massively improve the look of these!

Looks really good! Can you tell me about the rear spoiler as I wouldn't mind that on my ST. I bought the cupra side spoilers for the back but they didn't fit!
So did you add black vinyl behind the number plate and follow the lines of the lower grill and how did you do the de chrome?
Cheers, Rob

Spoiler is the standard Seat aerodynamics spoiler. I think I seen it on other places on the forum that the side spoilers only fit the Cupra spoiler (there is a slight difference between the Cupra and Aerodynamics Pack spoilers from my understanding)

I got a local car wrapping business (Blackline Styling / WrapHub NI) to do behind the number plate and de-chrome that grille

Cheers for the reply.
I had a closer look at your bumper and realised mine is different (mk 3.5) but defo gonna get that chrome wrapped and probably the b pillars too.
I'll do a search and see if they do the aerodynamic spoiler for the St.
Have you seen you can get the genuine carbon wing mirror caps now, £ 500 ish though!! Crazy

OEM skirts fitted & painted

Unsure whether or not to get a black lip onto the skirts - similar to this:

Changed the colour of my Pretoria’s to a grey-bronze colour (custom colour by KLC Wheel Refurbishment)

Just came across your car on a tread and had to do a double take because i thought it was my car. Havnt managed to get side skirts yet but pretty much identical.
are you running spacers or are the 19” wheels just wider?

No spacers. They’re 9.5j wide

Better idea of the colour

Hi mate, did you notice a difference in the ride quality after putting on 19s, been toying with the idea of changing my 18s to the very same wheels.

I've had 19's since getting the car, but feel like ride quality is good
