Ideas for my FL FR TDI!!

[Easty]

Morning folks, had my FR 3 months now and after 2500 miles it's really starting to feel like a great car.. Couldn't be happier after some initial problems.

At the moment the spec's as follows....

10 plate Candy White Revo Stage 1 FR TDI.
Black 18's
Black mirror covers
Black grille surround

The ideas I have in the next few weeks..
Black front bumper under the mesh (old cupra style)
BTCC spoiler in black
Lowered, probably on eibach pro springs but not too sure about the drop at the back being so little ...

Any thoughts / suggestions?!

All sounds good to me, though I probably would not bother with the spoiler. Glad you are enjoying the car.

Get some pics up first.

Defo needs the black alloys and springs. - I am biased.

I was considering the spoiler..is the general opinion its not worth it or only good if bought with full body kit?

Springs I would love as the ride height its too high but on the flip side I like the ride comfort (for motorway runs) on the stock setup for concerned this would be affected by the drop??

Easty - sounds good where did you get your black grille surround?

Spoiler and skirts are a good combo with standard bumpers. (I've possibly got a set of brand new skirts going cheap in the next week or two)

Comfort was not effected in the slightest when i fitted my sportlines, i was actually surprised.

Chris, The only bit i'm not sure on is the spoiler, would love somebody to be able to do a photoshop for me, even if just to see what the standard spoiler would look like in black....

If anybody is talented with PS......

Black front bumper under the grille (old cupra style) & FR logo de-badged

Black Spoiler & lowered if possible !!!!!

I got the grille surround from my JCT 600 Dealer, although it took them 4 attempts to get the correct one from Seat UK !

Very nice car you have there

Will keep an eye out for it when we travel down to leeds on wednesday, we've had no problems with jct so far. Shocked it took them 4 attempts

Cool ! Where about's in Leeds you heading to ?

JCT have been a bit shocking for me so far sadly, hoping they can redeem themselves though.

I was having a flick through their Accessorise booklet, and it lists the following...

http://www.seatonlinestore.co.uk/pr...ual|1.9tdi|2.0tdi_lowering_springs_1p1071605b

It doesn't have any further information as to make, drop size etc.. can anybody shed any light ?

We're only heading to Kirkby Lonsdale to purchase a bumper off another member, but we'll no doubt head to JCT and see how they are getting on trying to sell my dads Leon

Hi.
Can you buy the grille surround from the dealer.?. Also did you have to get it painted.?

 

[old 'uns]

 

[Easty]

Straight from dealer mate and it comes gloss black, same as wheels!!!

 

[old 'uns]

something a little subtle & different from the crowd?

 

[Easty]

Old uns that looks great 1st pic definitely getting that done! Not sure on front lights tho! Any chance you could shop me the other pic with a black spoiler

 

[chrisjgill]

The black grille and bottom lip of front bumper look sweet!

 

[old 'uns]

 

[Easty]

Great ! BTCC spoiler will look awesome!!!

 

[chrisjgill]

It looks good in black you know. Makes it that bit different from the norm and goes with the wheels!

 

[nerayan]

What does the stage one remap feel like now? Any major difference to performance?
