My Toledo V5 20V - LOUD NOISES

[Matt-V5-Duffy]

I don't know what make of vinyl it is dgjdrummer, I got it from here. When I apply it I leave a strip about 4-5mm around the edge, cut it into little fingers then stretch it around the back to keep it nice and tight. Seems to work well so far

I was behind this you today on the way home from gti international. Loved the look , awesome I was in my yellow LCR

 

[Matt-V5-Duffy]

Cheers mate Your LCR looked very tidy!

Pics of the door grabs and switches together as promised

Sorry it took so long, slipped my mind totally

Anyways, I've decided on what I'm doing with the BBS wheels. Polished lips, black barrels and shadow chrome faces. Should suit the silver of the Toledo quite well I think

If you not sure about a new bumper you could paint/vinyl the plastic on the front lip. I saw a tolly for sale on Ebay and I couldn't place what was different then realized front and back was all silver, looked much better, thinking about it on my car, the wifes car looks ok with black plastic as her car is dark blue anyway, but too much of a contract on silver.

Didn't the Toledo Sport models come with the colour coded plastics? I have seen them but will try and source a cupra/cupra R bumper first

Great looking example of a great looking yet understated car

Thanks for the kind comments Mark and Joshy

I haven't seen many Toledos around like mine at all sadly It certainly gets attention most places it goes, including some old fart tutting and shaking his head at it as it scraped it's way past on the way to inters

I'll be gettting the new wheels sorted before heading down the bumpers and side skirt route though.

 

[joe-20vt-toledo]

[Matt-V5-Duffy]

Thanks for the kind comments guys
Just waiting for my wheel centres to turn up then I can start the refurb!

 

[Matt-V5-Duffy]

The centre caps have finally arrived, they're not perfect by any means but they'll be getting the same treatment as the split rim bolts so I'm not worried

Centre cap fitted

And the bolts after 3 stages of polishing

Can't wait to crack on with them now.

 

[poliq]

will you be painting the rims?

 

[Matt-V5-Duffy]

Yes I will, Polished lips, black barrels and shadow chrome faces
