Platinum LCR, 19" Porsche rims & flip plate *UPDATED PICS PG17*

[Deleted member 12147]

The wheels come up on eBay every now an then, a set sold for £200 a few weeks back, I did consider buying them to sell on but I've already had 2 sets of these so didn't.

I bought the top mounts off the german eBay from Maxxtune.

Or from here if your unsure about ordering from Germany. Double the price though for the same mounts.

Well i managed to eventually source 2 lower grilles without paying SEAT dealer prices. So today i made a start on the grille mod.

I've still alot of work to do on them but i'm getting there slowly. I know it's not to everyones tastes but i like the look with large front grille.

Also picked this up today.

With the intensions of fitting one of these BUT i'm gonna wait til the Ipad 3 is out before i start on this mod.

Stunning car mate!! Think my beezer will be making way for a platinum R next year!

Thanks, that's the way I went from Ibiza cupra (which my missus now drives) to LCR. the Ibiza (stage 1 cc) is fun to drive but I prefer the LCR.

Good luck with all this mate, great plans and look forward to seeing the outcomes.

Thinking of doing my own double din

Now thats interesting. I was looking to replace those side bits, didnt know they were separate to the dash! now I know....

Are they hard to replace do you know? ive had the centre console out but not those bits

 

[Deleted member 12147]

When you say "side bits" do you mean the dash either side of the centre console?

Keen to see the results when the above work is done mate, should look smart!

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Yeah should look good IMO, I've got a unique plan for my number plate aswell so watch this space.

Once it's all fitted I'm gonna borrow a proper camera from work and take some decent pictures.

 

[t0m]

Is the plate planned for the front left of the bumper on the car? Wide mouth grill like dan pru's?

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Nope, i've not seen it done on this forum.

Nope, i've not seen it done on this forum.

He's keeping tight lipped on this one

Fair play, look forward to the end result.

Looking good

When you say "side bits" do you mean the dash either side of the centre console?

lol yeah sorry - the parts of the dash at the side always thought they were attached to the actual dash in the car

Well after nearly a week of painstaking work on this all I need to do now is paint it. If I get chance i'll be fitting it this weekend along with my numberplate mod.

The results:

Done good but where are you having the plate

 

[Deleted member 12147]

You'll have to wait and see

 

[Deleted member 12147]

I've ordered the parts for the plate but I don't know 100% whether it's gonna fit until i pick them up 2moz.
