-SlicK's 1999 Toledo 110 TDi

[-SlicK]

Well I decided that I just wont be able to afford to pay up monthly payments on a car. Discussed this with my dad and he offered to sell me this at a rather good price

So iv decided to put abit of a progress thread as its good to see what progress it has made from now till I sell it. Also I feel it will help me sell the car better in a years time when I change to something abit nicer

Bit of history with the car; Was a motorway runner for about 100k guy looked after it pretty well apart from the laquer peel on the front. My dad then bought it in 2006 and looked after it and polished and waxed it near enough every two weeks and washed regularly now iv bought it and done my own personal touches to it i.e. front end respray due to laquer peel and decided to do a black roof at the same time

Mods as follows;

6000k led sidelights
Silvertecs
HID's
LCR splitter
-40mm lowering springs
Wheels wrapped in avon zz3's
Boot spoiler
Black roof
Tinted windows
SCN Stickers

Planned mods;

Change the rear number plate light holders
De-badge
FK AK street coilovers
BBS 18" reps (or maybe if other wheels come up ill get them)
Wind deflectors
LC front bumper
LCR sideskirts
Bonnet bra

Pics of course;

Cheers

Are those pics with the 40mm spring on?

 

[daffedvw]

Defo agree on the BBS Reps, they do do a Black CH rep with a red rim, would look good as long as you dont curb em.

 

[-SlicK]

Yeah they are mate, dont drop it enough unfortunatly

Those are the ones iv been keeping my eye on, plenty of those on ebay Suit the toledo's well i think

 

[daffedvw]

I do like red cars but they are a bugger to keep shiney :-(. Red on black would work well i reckon, keep us updated on progress.

 

[-SlicK]

Havent really had a problem keeping mine shiny, just been keeping on top of it every opertunity I have

Thanks mate, really cant wait to change the wheels. Dont like them overly much but they are better than the standard by far

 

[boabym]

Think I passed you today mate,just going into Irvine.

 

[-SlicK]

You probably did pass it mate, my dad was driving it as hes getting the door seal sorted

What do you drive mate? Ill keep an eye out

 

[boabym]

A red Leon FR 54 plate.

How have you spent your xmas..?

Well today iv been staying out of the way of the usual arguing over Christmas dinner and spent my time using my new cleaning products that I got for the car

Thankfully it was above freezing today so made it much easier than it has been recently...

 

[MarkWales]

I like the rood and the LCR splitter -bbs alloys look great on the toledo

 

[dannychapman10]

How the hell did you clean it on that ice rink and actually manage to keep standing? haha!
IMO it'd look better without the chrome around the grills but just my 2p worth

I wasnt sure about the lcr splitter on the pre facelift bumper at first having seen pics but i decided to line the one my dad had up to the bumper and actually quite liked it it makes it look abit lower too which is always a bonus

I actually had to move it round the side of my house cause i was struggling to wash the car and stand at the same time yeah I know i dont know if i would be able to remove them, i might just wait and see if any grilles come up ill probably paint the centre one along with the middle 'S' badge. All in due time, first its coillies then wheels cause I cant say the wheels that are on appeal to me

 

[-SlicK]

Few random piccys

Well it was my day off today so of course I made the most of it

Looks like I may struggle when the coilovers are fitted

 

[Torred1771]

That my friend, is possibly the best looking Toledo i have ever seen, if you ever decide to sell give me a PM!

 

[-SlicK]

Afraid to say my dad has first dibs on buying it back

Would be perfect with nicer wheels, looking to get rid of them for another set soon

 

[markmeus]

Have you thought about colour coding the bottom of the bumpers? I think that would make it look really nice.

 

[-SlicK]

I had thought about painting them but after seeing a silver leon with the lower bit painted I didnt really like it.

I think it would be too much red tbh, I was going to get the front grilles and splitter along with the rear valance done in gloss black though

 

[markmeus]

True - it might be too much red, especially as your bump strips are already colour coded.

And I've just realised that the Toledo close to me that I was thinking of with colour coded bumpers has actually got an LCR bumper on the front.

damn him lol.

I like the wheels that are on it to be honest, however a set of audi rs4's wouldnt go a miss...
