New R8 18s - Seat Inserts...?

[Daveb77]

Just ordered a set of the new R8 alloys for me MK2 FR TDI. Got them from Drivers in Glasgow after viewing on one of the lads Mk1 FR TDI. Look amazing IMO, but they said they cannot get Seat inserts for them. I hope this doesn’t spoil the look... Does anyone know where to get a set for these alloys? I’m pretty lame at finding this sort of thing, so sorry in advance for yet another novice question...

Should be getting them fitted on Saturday all going well, will get pics on ASAP for those that are interested.

Off subject slightly, but had my first good run to and from work today after getting a Custom Code Phase 1 remap at the weekend (thanks J Gracie). What can i say, so far so very very good. The car is certainly transformed, need to get used to the increase in power though (caught me off guard a few times on way home the night… NICE!) and im convincing myself that every shudder or judder is another falling off somewhere - im lame). The ride is so very very satisfying however, you Cupra boys must have beaming smiles all day long cause my clunky diesel (or so my workmates say) is now even more immense! Ill get a proper write up done when i get more miles driven...

Cheers

I dont actually know about size bud (should be more prepared i know), Silver would be grand. ive got a pic of the MK1 fitted ones i saw on my mobile though, ill try and upload in a minute... if only i could work out how to do so...

cheers for response Chris

the inserts like in my sig are these (in case you cant work out the pic thingy)

 

[Daveb77]

of course ill now ask where did yu order them from? and maybe just maybe i have attached the pics:

sweet!

I think they look like the standard size, a bit surprised that Drivers dont do these though???

What alloys you got? No issues with inserts i take it? Look good from yer sig etc,

Dont think they do them anymore as I thought I was missing these on my 18" bbs SEAT sport alloys but the dealer said thats how they come.

Might be different on the cupra now though

That would seem only reasonable of them seeing as I've had the car a month and it's not finished yet...

for the part numbers.

 

[chrisboyle999]

Thank for the comments ....But you are looking at the reflection of an energy efficient light bulb, the curly type like this one:

In fact all the light bulbs in my house are energy saving

How did you get the genuine black ones?
I've been waiting 10 weeks for these!

My new wheels came with caps, i didnt know until i saw them, the guy asked me what car i had when i ordered them and they came with nice Seat ones already fitted... Luckily i waited as i had already found a website that did Seat ones in 4 differend sizes, i waited cos i wasnt sure what size to get. I can look up the site when i get home if you want, i think they were about a £10...
