Exactly :) The only car I eve modded was my 08 Leon FR, gave it the stealth look, black on black :)
But that's been it and I think that's why I get bored of my cars so quickly.
But yes, OEM foglights (even if they don't get wired up) will be better then some tacky LED strips off ebay :) or I could go for the R bumper, hmmm....
Okay mate, well let me know, the salesman is getting back to me today regarding the finance, knowing my look it'll be declined :( haha
Your car sounds rather nice, did you do a progress thread on it at all?

Not really a progress thread but so many others, hence my outrageous post count. Doc cannot find the right cure for me. :grin:

I'll change my signature for a short time now, so you can view the variety of my cosmetic makeover. Some of the guys in the other sections go potty about my luggage net so I've highlighted it for their well-being. :evil:

BTW: I hope you get the finance. I love walking into shops badly dressed sometimes, then buying a very expensive item with 'loads of money'. Love the look on their faces and the change in attitude. Pathetic.


Bloody hell!  That is a list, are the majority retro-fitted? I bet your car is verrrry nice :P
Well, still no word from the garage so I'll call them up shortly :)
I've had a quote from a wheel place in NI of £585 for replica Vancouvers with tyres and postage, a couple of guys used them from seatcupra.net so they are reputable :)
The SE I test drove yesterday only had the smaller display, for fuel consumption etc, there wasn't any of the convenience menus like on my mums GTI :(
First mods are, the Vancouvers with some spacers I think, anyone got pictures with spacers on theres?
Rear window tints at OEM, maybe a little darker and GT front bumper :)
I hope I get it, cheaper insurance then my Cupra and with Carlise finance, no payments for 3 months :D

Hi,

Not trying to be a smart Alec; but as you want it lower, darker rear lights, the chrome trim on front grille and the fogs; could you not find an '09 GT 140 for similar money? That would come with all of those plus the multi-function steering wheel, and the sports seats too. Worth a thought?

No worries mate, for some reason, the GT shoots up alot on my insurance and the GT's are priced a fair bit higher then they're asking for this SE. I'm only 20 you see, so until am 21 am paying stupid premiums for the Cupra and a GT if I got one.

If you carry out the lowering and changing of your lights your insurance will go up anyway.

Admiral only charged me an extra £50 for the mods I did to my Leon when I had, and the insurance for the SE is about £500 cheaper so there is a fair difference.

Ah; OK. This has just made me so glad I;m getting on a bit; as if there's 500 difference; i hate to think what the overall premium costs!  :cry:

Have fun with it, and making ot your own.

Yeah, a bit of a retro feast!
Only ACC, 18” Shadows, F/R Park Sensors, Lux/Winter Packs as factory options. The rest retro! Crazy. This forum has drained me.

I'll probably be getting eibach sportlines for mine, they give a nice drop and handle very well, they did on my other car anyway.

My mate at work has sportlines on his mk5 GT and rates them very highly.
