LOTS of love for this, great looking Altea! Just looking into getting one myself after spending ages hunting for another Ibiza TDi Sport, I stumbled across an Altea instead.

Looks great, I assume the FR bumpers were a straight swap? Where they off eBay or similar? How much?

thanks

There about £360 4 front and £340 for rear, cheeper than the 1's i had.
Got them bran new from Seat, and then had them fitted.
Had my roof rapped and mirrors and grill about 3mths ago.
But when i had the bumpers fitted i had both sides of the car re sprayed.
The bonet done and the mirrors done left the roof rapped, 2 say time and cash.

Hi , Looks great .

Could i ask if the R32 calipers and disks where a straight swop to fit or was there some modification to be done. Besides bleeding the brakes.

Thanks

R32 setup is direct fit to cars with 55mm struts (288/312mm discs now).

You need new dustshields and longer hoses in addition to the calipers/carriers/discs/pads. Plus the smallest OEM wheel to fit is 17"

Charls m8 have you got pics of the car on standard alloys lowered 50mm? I'm tempted on h&r springs maybe the 35 mm versions tho but just want to see what the 50mm looked like with the standard alloys on. Cheers
