First little mods...

[Sooty torques]

Nothing major and like Marmite, you'll like it or loath it...

Most are practical, like:

That big flat area on top of the bumper is bound to get buggered by me in and out of the boot two or more times a day...

Some are practical and cosmetic, like:

And then there's the pure cosmetic (those naff wee blank windows were getting to me...):

BTW these are not commercially available at the moment... but if you have some translucent film, some CAD software and a vinyl-cutter lying around...

The black sill guards work well on the contrasting yellow & I like the FR logos on the quarter lights..........but not a fan of the chrome bumper strip!

Nice work

Especially the tartan on the back seat

Were the sill guards easy to fit?

double sided sticky tape (provided stuck to the gaurd). its well sticky so you have to get it right first time.

That is soooooooooooo true. As usual, the destructions supplied make it look dead easy. It's not that difficult, but once it grabs...

Window FRs and sill guards look good, not so sure about the boot though.

Btw I didn’t think you could get a tow bar for the FR? Is it a detachable one?

 

[soates82]

Very nice! Where can i get those sill guards from?

 

[Maximus2000uk]

The sill guards are an official SEAT accessory so check the SEAT website and it'll be there. Alternatively, call your local dealer since there is more than one type of sill guards...i think there are some shiny silver ones too.

Yeah, know what you mean about the boot guard, but as I said, was done for practicality rather than its looks. Missus said it would look better black...

Anyway, FR towbars are readily available from a number of suppliers - Witter list one. My dealer had no problem sorting one out for me. Mine is not detachable, which suits me; other folks on here have detachable ones fitted.

These black ones are not listed by SEAT uk - they only show the (in my opinion horrid) sticky printed vinyl stuff. Got these direct from the German accessories dealer, who does some good SEAT stuff - a number of folks on here have used them. They are very reliable, very quick and good at replying to queries. At work at the mo, so can't remember the website address or link - I'm sure someone on here will post it up before I get home.

UK stealers list S/Steel inner sill guards which look good and are next on my list...

 

[Maximus2000uk]

Look up a guy on this site whose name is Serene Motors. He is based in Ireland and can source all the stuff that we dont get in the UK.

I do like those sill guards though. I'm just trying to decide whether black or silver would go better with Candy White.

I'm thinking silver so far....

I have decided on black for my candy white, sticking with the contrasting theme

Actually, I reckon you are right. Quick bit of (crap) Photoshop jiggery-pockery and I get this:

I think black outside, alu inside looks pretty good. I think I am sold
