Had the Seat styling kit fitted this week (rear bumper, spoiler and side skirts)
Kept original exhaust because, well £500, and actually like the original look.
FY15 plate.

Black always looks better in real life not sure these pics do it justice ! I am chuffed though, sits lower and has more aggresive look without being OTT.

Also had steering wheel swapped for newer fy18, feels nicer and more premium.

Should stop me buying a new car for a couple of years

Looking good! Does the kit include a gloss black piece to replace the plastic part of bumper, or did you colour code this to the new rear splitter? Cheers

Thanks!
I think It all comes as one unit (primed) so the plastic bit is now the same material (as rest of bumper, it was all painted together in phantom black.
They give different options for the exhaust cut outs and trim which is gloss black.

I asked the bloke who came before he started fitting it ,he took me round the car pointing out they was all different glass pilkingtons regency aog etc he said seat just buy in bulk and this is no different from seat apart from it doesn’t say seat on it ,and to be fair it’s perfect so I’m just happy it’s done ,it’s gone for a gold valet today £40 hes mayvinci accredited the boss of the firm who was driving is paying for that mind you he knows he’s got off very lightly but I need to forget and move on

Great result then

Does it make any difference to sound etc?
Seems fairly easy to fit?

I’ll report back about the sound but on fit it was fiddly but not too difficult once I’d googled it. You have to disconnect the Airbox and ‘pop’ it out it sits on some little ball sockets which hold it in place. To do that you need some large pliers (I used adjustable plumbing ones) to disconnect the air intake feed pipe and the air ‘out’ pipe into the engine (there’s another small pipe I didn’t bother to disconnect as the top of the Airbox stays in the engine bay). Then there are 4 clips around the outside which you need to pry open with a screwdriver. Once you’ve removed the bottom of the box there are two posi screws underneath which hold the filter in place.

Awkward but not too hard.

Unrepairable puncture yesterday. All I can say is that I'm so glad I bought a car with a spare wheel. Only 20 minutes to swap the wheel (most of that spent getting the caps off the lug nuts)

Couldn't imagine having to deal with that shitty gunk stuff or waiting for recovery.
