Lou Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Like i said, had the car for about 2 years now, been tinkering with a few things, but havn't got the money to lower yet so, here's all my tinkering so far in one fat lump...After a good cleanDe-badgingThen i decided to spray my door handles, air vents and speedo cover 'piano black' After getting working some overtime around last Feb, had my rear windows tinted, was worried i'd end up looking like some chav but i think it makes the wraparound glass at the back stand out Then as the evenings were getting longer i borrowed my mate and his sis (who works doing vinyl graphics for vans and buses) and did my roof gloss black And here's some photos of it barely visible in the dark Oh, and at this time i managed to drive through a Fjord too quickly and rip the black bottom bit of the bumper apart, also managed to knock out the grill which floated away before i could grab it (hence the whole where the SEAT badge was and the string keeping the bumper together)Anyway, got the parts through my dad's mate that works in a body shop and fitted them. Problem solved Then decided to Lamin-x my front lights, in gunsmoke. Does make a difference to the brightness of your lights, but the website claims it's legal, car passed it's MOT fine and i havn't been pulled yet. Just a little nerve-racking in fog or heavy rain That's pretty much where i am at the minute =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north wales loop Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 LOVE the number plate! slag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1gear Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Looks alright i think. Not sure about the lights though. How about doing the mirror covers in black? If someone could photoshop it to see how it would look. A glossy black maybe?I like black roof but i think they look better when there is a spoiler on the back.

Lou Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 LOVE the number plate! slag!haha cheers, was just going after the last 3 letters for my initials, only realised when i put it on what it said yh the lights split opinion with my mates as well, was looking at a spoiler a while a go. But quite a lot for what they are and at the time no SEAT dealers could get hold of any. (SEAT ones were cheapest and most discrete imo)Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Like the idea of the black roof in a vinyl !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlockHead Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Two YEARS? Cor, waiting eight months to lower mine pissed me off. Loving the dark bits! Gloss black the mirrors, drop it and put it on some black wheels and you're onto a winner Hopefully getting my roof done in the next month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
