CAR STYLING IDEAS

[nignico]

Hello everyone! This is my 19 plate Seat Leon FR that I've owned for a year. I wanted to ask you guys for suggestions on simple mods and styling ideas for the exterior and car interior, but nothing mechanical nor any drastic changes as this is a family car.

Also what kind of engine oil do you use except for castrol edge as it is known to be low quality in my country. This is a 1.5 150 hp petrol engine.

Thank you in advance.

Obviously not to everyone’s taste, but ideas to consider (styling mods that have been done by others on the forum):

Change of paint colour on rims.
Add hub-centric spacers to front and rear wheels.
Tint film on front fog lights, rear lights/reflectors.
Splitter, Skirts, Diffuser - see OEM, Reiger, Maxton options.
De-badge rear.
Black FR badge for front grille.
Wing mirror indicators that sweep.

And kudos for choosing a black car where you live - keeping it clean must be a daily task.

Pretty much this

Personally I'd look at an exhaust with exit on both sides, but I have OCD when it comes to symmetry.

Sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much for your suggestions! I've already done the sweeping indicators, but I just didn't like the batman winged mirrors. I'm also Actually trying to buy new rims like the ones in the picture. I also like your suggestion to tint the fog lights and I'm gonna do that next week.
P.S. Do you think carbon fiber fits well with a black car? as I'm thinking of wrapping the mirrors in carbon fiber

Whats wrong with Castrol Edge?

if that’s what Seat put in it then i’m pretty sure that will be okay.

I have never had any issues using Castrol Edge in any car.

I know man, but they're saying that the castrol edge oil is bottled and re-filled here with some cheap oil and not the original castrol oil quality.

Depends if the engine is going to be tuned. If tuned then you want an uprated oil that can both deal with higher temps and also help cool things too. Although I think for what the original poster is after, standard (if genuine) Castrol Edge should suffice.

I get what you mean and I agree with you, but it's not genuine Castrol oil which is why I was asking for an alternative

Mine had Millers Nanodrive NY+ on its last service.
