Newbie in search for tips and advice

[jasont87]

Hi all, Im still a newbie to the site, but very happy ive finally got my hands on my ride, its a 1.6 5 door in lumina orange, im looking to have the rims sprayed in gloss black, been quoted £150 for all 4 wheels and perhaps the wing mirrors in black too, but seeking advice on headlights and sidelight bulbs, I have had a browse on ebay but want to make sure if they are the correct ones before I purchase them.

H7 for main heads and 501s for side lights

And also looking to purchase some wind reflectors, only seen them available on ebay:

nearly £40 for the 4 including postage

And finally been after the official rear spoiler, the part itself is £100, but to have it sprayed and fitted by seat it would set me back nearly £300, im based in the north west, would anybody happen to know any locals that can do the job cheap?

Appreciate any responses, thanks guys.

no problem!

yeah dealerships are far to expensive to add stuff. Just check round i'm sure you can get it cheaper somewhere else maybe £200 or less.

i swapped my bulbs yesterday and they are really simple, the only thing i see usefull about those wind reflectors would be when its raining, i keep forgeting and putting my windows down a little bit, when you go round a corner the water pours in due to the slant of the windows, this is quite annoying but its all my fault haha

Hey Dave, cheers for the response, I see your point on the wind deflectors, not much use, but it just gives it that extra bit of sporty look I was actually going to message you regarding your rims, looks great, but cant really make out if they are Seat alloys or are they custom? also did you pay extra to have them sprayed or were they pre-sprayed?

Cheers.

seat alloys, they were a factory spec 17" black alloys, cant rememeber the name, they are just the standard ones, sorry they are a bit dirty lol
