Sorry guys this is my second Readers Ride, my first one was got messed up and a failed edit lost pretty much all the information. So I'd thought I would start again and make this one! Because this first post is so long in the thread, if you are quoting any specific area could you only quote that part instead of the full post. Thanks
This is my first ever Seat and its the 1.4TSI - The easiest thing for me to insure, you dont even want know the prices I was getting quoted on the larger engine models. I guess being 19 has something to do with it! Anyway absolutely loving the car at the moment. Got a bit of presence with the BTCC kit, exhaust and spoiler etc. So its currently got the BTCC kit, K1 spoiler and exhaust and a few things here and there.
Below are the pictures when I went to collect the vehicle:

I've now removed the 'K1' badges from the sills. So its just the carbon vinyl.
I always had a few ideas of little mods I wanted carried out and I started these asap!
Firsty I bought some 'carbon' sills off ebay - Nothing special about these. Was unsure whether to leave them bare or add the K1 badges.

After this I was looking at getting my lights tinted slightly but then I was told to try out the Fly Eye Kit, at £13 for a large sheet I thought it was worth a shot!
To start I only did the side repeators

I then got a hold of some new 6000K reg plate bulbs - Cheap simple mod that makes a big difference! A few before and after shots.

Went for a drive after an early finish from work!

Also got a rear shot from this day and was told to get the area behind the reg plate finished in black - ran up a photoshop of what it would look like

Really liked the results, might look at getting it down over the coming months.
Next mini job was changing the front bulbs - I bought the Osram Nightbreakers but felt that they looked still very yellow, so I bought MTEC Cosmo White Diamond! Very similar

Thats where the car stands at the moment, still got mods here and there to carry out under the bonnet, exterior and interior! Keep progress updated through this readers ride!
Apologies again for the length and volume of pictures. Opinion welcome!
