[Stevoz03]

^^ They are mark 1 Leon Cupra R alloys painted white and black mate

 

[splinter26]

Yeah steve's correct! A massive pain to keep them gleaming white but totally worth it!

 

[pr0xy]

thanks i gotta find them now

Edit:

Anyone got links for them please ?

 

[splinter26]

Couple of sets on eBay but other than finding them second hand your best bet is to ask a seat dealer, they don't come cheap though lol

 

[pr0xy]

tnx for the recommendation i'll try those 2 options & see which I can get best for the buck

 

[splinter26]

If your planning on having them painted id go second hand as it doesnt matter what state they're in as that can be rectified while being refurbed good luck!

 

[pr0xy]

ye that what I was thinking too, wouldn't come worth it to buy them new since I gotta spray them afterwards
thanks again mate !

Update:

New surround for the HU etc:

where did you get this and how much was it if you dont mind me asking ?

 

[splinter26]

wow now your asking i cant remember it seems ages ago now. I got them from my local seat dealer, cant remember if all three came in one kit or if the handbrake surround was separate.

Oh wait just found it on this site: http://www.seataccessories.co.uk/product/Dashboard_Decorative_Kit_-_Aluminium_6J0064702

So yeah 100 quid all in Takes five minutes to fit

edit: Oh and the gear stick was a separate buy as well. I think that was around £75

Hi there.

The only thing i can probably helpp you with is the window tinting.
I have my ibiza on order from stock without window tints, but i enquired about this and i am paying £200 for my dealer to fit the tints. He offered me The factory fitted tints, a darker shade or a lighter shade..iwent for the factory one.

You can probably get this done cheaper, but i had to opt for the dealer to do it because then it is classed as a standard fitted window tint, which i dont need to declaare to my insurance. If i was to go for another company to fit it, i might be able to get it for £100, but my insurance was bumped up by £120 just for bloody window tints.

Basically it is all depending on your insurance. Just find out what it would cot to declare this.

Your insurance company charged you more for adding something which will keep pryiong eyes off valuable posessions contained within the car thereby reducing the chances of theft?? Modification or not it's obsene that you should even have to declare something like that!! I never have

I'm a newbie and have just read through your whole thread. You have had soo many ups and downs with your cars. You do always make them look great though.

Why you needing to get rid?

 

[splinter26]

Thanks! Haven't had problems with her for ages now she's running perfectly I have a little one on the way so opting for a five door asap if i can get the right price on her. Will be gutted to see her go though, i still had so much i wanted to do but never got around to!

Ahh I see, congrats on your news then. I'm sure that your little bundle of joy will keep you busier than modding your car any ways.

Hope you can get it sold on if that's what you want.

 

[splinter26]

Yeah exactly ha thanks I'm not going for a Picasso yet though i'm looking into a Leon Cupra so will still have some fun when i get a chance
