Brad's Seat leon TDI project, end of an era!!

[strugers1]

i paid 550 for them then 8 months later painted them myself orange why that boss??

 

[ben_leon]

They are very tempting, on a silver/white/black car, in fluorescent blue!

Opinions?

 

[strugers1]

vary daring if you do it mate as long as your happy with it thats all that matters

 

[ben_leon]

Hmm... you could always refurb them to black/grey again if it all went tits up.. maybe i'd wait til i have the money to throw away before i make the big decision!

 

[D.K]

oh i may well come tomorrow what time it finish though cos i nearly 23 and i got to be up early for work sunday lol

Wont Mummy let you out past dark it dont go on too lat mate, you can leave any time.

 

[ben_leon]

I don't think u can get a more bold move than fluorescent orange wheels on a blue car can you??

 

[MrBen2k7]

get the 110.. you'll save the £250 difference in insurance by simply driving a more fuel efficient car...

The money I save on fuel baffles me... I said to a guy at work today... that time of the month init... time to fill the car with diesel.... it really does last me neatly a month, and I'm ding like 9-11k a year..

Lol you cheeky b@stard. Its just my luck,i fix one thing and something else breaks

 

[ben_leon]

Shame to hear about your driveshaft man... Oh well, you'll fix it!

Anyway, how much did your straight through exhaust set you back?

Cheers.

 

[brad1]

I think I've sorted the problem, well AmD have, exhaust cost me £160 for milltek downpipe and £150 for straight through cat back

 

[ben_leon]

well i've been weighing up my options, and think im gonna get the 110tdi, alloys and straight through. (and sub of course!)

Then, when i got my no claims bonus (after 6 months with endsleigh's student insurance) think more about mods. I believe 110bhp is more than enough for a first few months of driving.

Diesel is the way forward with the amount of money you save. i also think my dad is gonna give a hand towards insurance payments, roughly £500 towards it, so the difference in price doesnt really make that much difference.

Cheers for your help convincing me to get the diesel, i'll need to save for a bit longer tho coz the 1.9 TDI are more expensive than the 1.4 16v petrol, but it will be worth it.

Ben.

 

[ben_leon]

but im still in debates over what colour to get, i'm swaying towards white...

 

[MrBen2k7]

lol, Red looks nice, but is hard to keep it that way... takes a lot of polishing...

Silver or Black... I got Silver SE 110... love's it

 

[brightsideteeem]

I would say imperial blue, but theyre prone to stone chips. (due to 'soft' paint, the colour has since been discontinued.)

 

[strugers1]

extreme blue FTW lol

 

[brightsideteeem]

haha, Imperial looks better, when its in good nick... lol

 

[brad1]
