My toledo, doesnt need the big intro that was here.... purchased 5th november 2008.. first post updated 26th august 2009

so first mod was a full interior, minus door cards out of a 05 leon fr... this was done on the second day of ownership

Secondly i decided to tint my rear lights, i was very impressed with the result and have always liked smoked lights

next i invested in a nice set of alloys, i wanted the RS6 reps but found them a bit to common, so opted for the MK5 r32 rims... really like the look of them but a bit of a pain keeping them clean... ones kerbed from letting me ******* mate have a spin around the block[:@]

After this i decided i would save up some cash for a month or so and try and do a bulk of mods in one go. So...

first came window tints... dark smoke on the back, 45% on the front

Then a new gear knob off an ibiza

tailored mats from SEAT

Pressed plates

Fully Debadged

Led number plate blubs

Removed Towbar

Citreon c2 stubby aerial

next lowering... when i lowered the ibiza just on springs it barely moved, but saw some on ebay last week and they were a price i couldnt turn down... so thought i would gamble and buy them but being prepared to just get coilovers. Luckly got them fully fitted this week and they have lowered it to a perfect level and the ride so far doesnt seem much different from standard, although you can tell

next i took insperation from dolby and beesly and brought some headlight covers to smoke. didnt do them quite as dark as these two have but in the day it makes a difference. also today i fitted a pair of smoked side indicators (so all my exterior lights are now smoked lol) and a set of L.E.D. front side lights

then i grabbed a bargain of a pair of a pair of LCR sideskirts complete with all fixings etc. and there abs not fibreglass

also to be delieverd this week, pipercross panel filter, 6000k HIDS, mufflerectomy exhaust, de-locking kit, boost gauge (which arrived today) fitted in a NEVPOD, cupra R red stiched handbrake and gear gaitor and finaly s3 pedals.

will be attempting to smoth my airbox tommorow using D.Ks guide and doing a four wheel laser alignment to see if the lowering has put the tracking etc out

anyway im getting a new camera tommorow so will have pics then, those of you that have seen it at the meets obviously know what it looks, not the nicest colour imho but still polishes up really nice

sorry for draging on but is good to read it back to yourself 6 months down the line.

future plans include
P-torque remap end of january/ beginning febuary,
black roof lining and parts that go with this
cupra R front bumper
teardrop mirrors
strut brace/s
wheels in black?
leather interior
private plate
Big Brake Upgrade

I dont get why yours does it so much better. Maybe something to do with exhaust shape or the turbo itself? Whats next then dude? remap?
