To be perfectly honest, for all the Seat Leon has been getting a slating.  It looks better in 5 door than the Golf, more coupe-esque.

Thats because Seat shamelessly ripped of the design for the backdoor handles from Alfa Romeo  :shocked:

I would like to suggest Lumar.
I believe it's one of the higher quality products out there.
I done mine and  am pretty satisfied with it...


I think darker tinting loosk much better on silver GTI.

To GTI 5,
got your message, but couldn't reply back for some reason.
the alloys on my car are JSP Mulliner 18" coated with black paint(deadning effect).
they kinda look similar to ABT wheels, but i like'em so far. good thing is that if you get
tired of them, you just peel the coat off, n you will have a new set of silver wheels..

Same designer worked on both, Walter De'Silva. Or worked for both comapnies. He was poached from Alfa.

"In 1998 he was poached from Alfa by Ferdinand Piëch to work for the Volkswagen Group's SEAT division with the hope he could inject the same verve and sportiness to SEAT design. The result was SEAT's 'auto emoción' philosophy which saw more expressive design in the form of the 2001 SEAT Tango Concept, 2002 SEAT Ibiza and SEAT Córdoba. In March 2002 he was appointed Head of Design to the now-defunct Audi brand group encompassing design for the Audi, Lamborghini, and SEAT brands."

"Following the appointment of the former Audi chairman Martin Winterkorn as the chairman of the Volkswagen Group in January 2007, de'Silva has been promoted to Head of Design for the entire Volkswagen Group effective of February 2007 and is now responsible for the overall strategic direction of all VW brands encompassing Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, SEAT, Skoda and Volkswagen.

Somebody.....

Is there a differnce between smash and grab, and tints?

Our GTI has Smash and Grab tints on every window excluding the front windcreen/windshield.
They are reasonably dark. They cant be illegal right? Maybe the law in SA (Thats assuming there is a law :grin: ) are different?
