Gimp mask and more

[bigfella_V5]

Anyone know where I can get the "gimp mask" part that fits onto the boot lid and rear lights?

I'm also after the upper spoiler that goes over the rear window, any ideas?

Gimp mask
i have seen a blue tolly with one on and i am sure i have seen them online...will have to remember where though....if i get five this arvo i will search........IF YOU REALLY want to put one on.......

roof spoiler...only one i have found and that looks really good is the MSdesign one.....but having weighed up how much they are asking i dont think it was worth it! its a couple of hundred quid from memory......for a little piece of plastic (can get a cupra bumper for that second hand!)

Cheers, I'm in 2 minds about getting one. I didn't think it looked too bad but perhaps once I have the rest done it will look too much.

However the roof spoilers look really good, but I agree - very expensive for what they are. £215 got my Cupra bumper!

Don't like it at all - even if the rear light arrangement on the Toledo has its critics I don't personally think that makes it look better, I actually think it would cheapen the car. Roof spoilers are very nice.

Fair do's. It was just a thought that was all. Partly because I have never seen them for sale.

If I can find a cheaper roof spoiler I will get one.

Agreed on point 1, not sure on point 2. Not seen many saloons that look good with a window spoiler

If they were more readily available maybe I could test fit one. I wonder how they are secured...

i have seen a black tolly on one of the forum with the window spoiler....looks the muts!

I've looked everywhere for a roof spoiler but they are like £160, even from Germany with delivery they are about £150.

Some of the bits on that link aren't bad!!

 

[bigfella_V5]

The rear light covers. I have the spoiler from that site, you can get them on eBay much cheaper.

It seems to be made by Pi and the quality is very good.

I will make enquiries about the upper rear window spoiler. Many thanks for the info.

In general I think you are right but I think some of the roof spoilers I've seen on Toledo's look quite subtle because they sit quite flat ( bit like the one in the bottom pic of the link posted up). I actually prefer them to the boot spoiler. I've deliberately kept mine standard looking because I like the fact that while in my view it's subtly stylish it's also unassuming. In my case you even have to squint to see the V5 badge.

I will be removing the V5 badge in favour of a Seat Sport badge - genuine and rare.

The thing is with the roof spoiler is that its £100 delivered. I have already spent £90 on the other spoiler - I can't justify spending £200 on spoilers!! Thats not even painted!!

I'm worried if I do get it, it will look OTT with the Cupra bumper, skirts and boot lid spoiler, what do you think?

Mate i love the roof spoiler...i would have one if it wasnt for the small fact that they are essentially taking the pi55 with the price.........i dont think it would look OTT....its not like its a Whale Tail stuck on the back...its subtle and unassuming.

 

[bigfella_V5]

Don't say that, you'll make me buy one!

 

[Sam20v]

hahahahaa

Sorry.....how about this...

DONT BUY IT........I WILL BE SOOOO JEALOUS, I REALLY WANT ONE......
just think of all the extra beer you could buy with a 100 quid....it wont stop there....you have to get it painted......MORE BEER MONEY!!! ITS A WASTE!!!!!

[sam breathes heavily after rant]


is that better............

 

[bigfella_V5]

Not really....
