I hope my thread didn't bore you even more :lol:

Looks very nice :) Where did you get the red and chrome badge from? Im thinking of one for mine as the car itself is red, and might look quite nice? :)

I sprayed the badge myself. The chrome 'S' pops out leaving behind the bits that I painted red. Maybe I should start selling them!

just read your whole thread aswell. jaysus youre creative when it comes to moddin your car. i really like the exterior lights on the door handles but prob wouldnt work for the back on a 5 door.

i know it was a good while ago but just wondering what you used to spray your wing mirrors gloss black? did you have to remove them to paint them?

thanks

2 options with the gloss mirrors... either buy them from SEAT like that (as they are Cupra mirrors) or you have to remove them to spray them that way. If you bend the mirror in and start from the hinged end, you can prize the covers off. You may have to use more force than you feel is good, but they will pop off! I did this but painted mine matte black...

You could wire up LEDs to the rear door handles....just be double the work!

really? the fact that i dont even know if it would work suggests i might not be up to the job. that would be amazing though! i need to try and figure it out.;)

was it that expensive to do? (if you dont mind me asking)

this lighting idea has me intrigued, but in the long run the door handles will be smoothed off anyways so might make make a puddle light where the reflectors are in the front doors. Keep up the good work though, if I want to see some nice new ideas, I just have a thumb through your thread :)

All in it cost about £8. Very cheap mod but just fiddly to do

I thought about trying to fit the interior door light from a Golf...not sure if they are the right shape though
