G223's Toledo

[G223]

Hi guys, just thought I'd share some pics of my new Toledo,

Ive got a few plans for it:
Tuning box
Golf GTI "Monza" Alloys
Possibly lowering if it looks too tractory
Colour Coded bumper bottoms
Pioneer Head unit
Seat Sport gear knob

all of the above ordered and awaiting delivery, so ill update progress as it comes

Im liking the Toledo so far, its great to drive, got plenty of poke and its not often you see one that looks anything more than a taxi around these parts so itl be one of a kind in NI i think

Any advice or opinions are appricated no matter how good or bad guys

Looks nice mate. Get an LCR front bumper on there to make it stand out more

tuning box?? as in the things on ebay telling you they'll add that odd extra bhp?? hope not mate else i might as well pm you my bankaccount number and I'll send you a matchbox you need to stick close to your ECU getting you at least 15 bhp more...lol

nice car though btw. Don;t see many toledo's so nice to see something different

lol i got a resistor in a box with the car, im getting a proper progamable tuning box cheap 2nd hand lol i still think the quoted 22 bhp extra is optimistic but ahwell, well see what happens lol

I was thinking about the LCR bumper but the hassle of getting a good one and getting it repainted....but im getting the bumpers colour coded anyway....hmmmmmmmmm

Hi I'm new on here. I just got a Toledo too, silver like yours but with front fogs and square wing mirrors. I was thinking of getting a LCR front bumper & skirts to give it a more aggressive stance. I've seen them on ebay . . . . repo's I think? Could anyone tell me if they're any good. Dunno what to do with the rear bumper tho . . . I've seen some people on here have been chopping up Audi TT's to mod their rear bumper but I don't think I want to go to that much effort/expense!

Love the Toledo and can't wait to get it looking a bit more mean!

Nice car mate.

Much under rated cars the Toledo's - love mine!

If you can't streach to a full LCR bumper the LCR splitter sets off the standard bumper nicely.

lcr front bumper... smoothed rear bumper... nice set of alloys and youve gt yaself a mint looking motor

Nice one mate.

I would go for the Leon Cupra facelift front bumper, I think it looks more euro, it's got a nice rounded shape and suits the Toledo better.

Or the facelifted Cupra bumper with an LCR splitter like mine . LCR front bumper and TT Rear bumper sounds like a major project to me. Rear roof spoiler and sports boot spoiler with smoothed colour coded rear bumper will look good too. If you're not too concerned with ride quality go for 18's rather than 17's on alloys.

The Seat Sport Gearknob is nice as are the TT pedals. I also have the SEAT chrome dash kit on it's way to spruce up the inside a bit more.

Have fun spending your wad

Thanks EmDee, you beat me to it with the front bumper lol.

Updates

right so time for an update, some of the stuff arrived, the radio and subwoofer and the wheels arrived, thats the bulk of my goodies arrived so heres some pics:

Before anyone starts a rant, even im not sold on the alloys now, i think they look too flash and give the car a "pimp-mobile" look, but ahwell ill change them some other day

radios great now all i need is to fit the subwoofer, having trouble getting wires through the bulkhead

 

[EmDee]

I reckon if it was lower and the wheels were darker it'd look really nice. I know what you mean about the pimpmobile thing though lol. The Cupra facelift bumper will set that off a treat.

 

[Tartan58]

I have to agree on the wheels - although lowering would make a huge differance I think. Best wheels I've seen on a Toledo are the same ones that EmDee has in his profile pic

 

[G223]

looks much better lowered so i think im going to have to lower it for it to be right ahwell

What do you guys think then???

 

[Tartan58]

Big improvement! Think the front could do with coming down a touch lower though, looks like you have a boot full of bricks at the moment!!
