OEM is good, subtle is good but invisable?...get your point though, i would like mine to look standard from a distance but up close i wanna see that weave...subtle but purposefull i suppose

me too but you have to watch how far you take the carbon theme before it gets tacky, i mean how much weight is actually saved with the mirrors?...maybe 1 gram, with a bonnet its substantialy more..

two different things entirely bud, i just mean how can the government or whoever allow something to be sold if it has the ability to shred you in half in a 40mph accident?...im not disputing what you know, just seems a bit weird...

goverment must be right then. ;) we can only hope they did more research on cf bonnets than current banking practice.:whistle:

Carbon Fribre tailgates are worthwhile too, removes loads of weight but not sure if you can get one for the Leon. Was easy for Honda's, they only have a tiny tailgate so could pick up direct OEM carbon replacements fairly cheap. Not sure the carbon scene has hit SEAT yet, most bits would have to be made from scratcg, ££££££ :(

I like the idea of these roof skins though. Sadly not to fit a leon.

I agree, the subtle look you want would be very nice :)

I think it was the Pagani Zonda's that used a light coating of paint so up close you can see the weave, looked great.
