the car's sporting a set of 19's
interior taken care of by a company called Baillies, in Renfrewshire i believe.
They get all their leather from a tannery up here as well, that used to provide the hide for gm,saab,jag,ford and so on.the hide is arguably better quality that the standard SEAT stuff.Baillies now hold the patterns for both Leons, and Altea's, so it should be a fairly standard job for them...and it costs in the region of £1000 for the whole job.

Car looks great (agree with the beaver comment)
I have some questions:-
How much is the car lowered?
Is it a Seat approved lowering kit and how much is it fitted?
Lastly how much does it stiffen the already hard ride with 18s.?

i believe the seat approval re bodykit on fr, goes along the lines of the factory fitted exhaust doesnt fit the bodykit.the fr's that we've had in showroom with kit, have all had stainless steel exhaust systems(with lifetime warranties) fitted at owners request.so the SEAT approval is more to do with the exhaust system, rather than the actual bodykit.maybe someone can correct me if im wrong?!?
the car has been lowered by one and a quarter inches(on eibach springs), and rides well with the 19's...not that firmer than the standard fr.
on the weight issue,the kit weighs very little more than the parts it replaces.
