I basically had one of these about 5 years ago, well i say 'basically' as it was actually a Seat Cordoba estate TDI. It was only ever supposed to be a workhorse for my chippie tools but it was well looked after and drove so well that i inevitably ended up modding it gently and using it all the time. Some 16'' wheels, lowering springs, debadging and a dollop of extra boost ensued but unfortunately were followed by a mother fvcker ploughing a scabby old transit van into the front of it whilst it was parked outside my mates house. Bye bye Cordoba, hello fat insurance payout and Polo G40.  :smiley:

extra boost is sounding tempting.

Seat front end actually looks pretty good on that red one. Shame I've only just read this thread - breaking an Ibiza but all of the front end/panels went on Sunday  :undecided:
