Couple of questions...

[CHR15B]

I pick up my Sport TDI 130 a week today and will be visiting the Seat dealership at some point during the week to get some bits and bobs for the car when it comes.

Ideally I'm looking for the following items, prices or part numbers would be great if you have them.

Heater Rings (Chrome) and the gearstick one too.
Chrome grille surround - centre only.
FR Mirror covers.

How easy are the FR mirror covers to fit? How are they done?

What do people do with the OEM black handles, get them sprayed or buy them painted?

Cheers

fr mirrors are really easy to do they just clip on with 4 clips inside the cover, you will just need to prise them off will find the part no for chrome rings

 

[CHR15B]

Good stuff - cheers mate.

Any idea on a rough price for the parts?

6L0072300 chrome grill vent kit
6L0072400 gear suround
not sure if you can get just the centre s grill at th front in just a chrome outer trim new grill off the current fr is only about 19 quid i think

 

[gazjones]

vent kit 23.98
gear suround 9.99

Nice one mate, thanks

How sh!t is the Seat website, everytime I click to view larger image it never does!

 

[rashcupra]

it is a pants website i must agree!

 

[davels]

tis a wubbish rebsite yes. but try using firefox it normally helps with getting picture links working

 

[CHR15B]

I'm using FF as always

Thats a couple of years at least the site has been like that - when I was checking out bits n stuff for the Toledo it was the same.

Ah well - thanks for your help guys, any tips on fitting the parts, or do they come with instructions?

 

[gazjones]

they come with instructions the gear suround just un clips the vents are harder but there is a few threads on then if you have a search for vent surrounds or something similar

 

[CHR15B]

No worries - cheers

I was advised by my local Seat garage to avoid the chrome grill surround cos its only glued on and in some cases it can fall off. Instead he ordered me a replacement grill for the NEW Ibiza, which has a secure chrome surround on it anyway, and it actually cost less than the chrome surround accessory!

 

[CHR15B]

Does that fit the pre facelift bumper OK without removal?

 

[BJM]

I's sure the centre grill just clips in and out mate. The pre facelift FR's had the chrome bordered grill so you would get one that fits. Unseure if the Facelift and pre facelift centre grills are the same - suspect they probably are.

Cool cheers - will see what happens
