7 Speed DSG Torque - Can it can't it???

[craigboca]

I am amazed he never tried to ticket you for using them seen as it is illigal to use them in the UK unless there is actual fog hahahahahahahaha

I thought they were driving lamps not fogs!could be wrong

I believe you only get a full size spare wheel when you take the brake upgrade which would mean the standard brakes earn you the space saver wheel.

 

[Dave217]

yeah thats why, to get the brakes done afterwards its only £800ish whereas if you get it as a factory option its £1k+

 

[jc_boc]

I know and have been kicking myself for only finding that out now BUT once you get the brake upgrade after purchase do you not have to buy the full size spare wheel too? Would it not work out at roughtly the same price then?

 

[EdHorny]

The spare wheel won't fit over the Brake upgrade, the wheel is a 185/60. You'd have to change a rear wheel then put that on the front. A pain I know.

To be fair it only took me 5 minutes to put my refurbed wheel back on yesterday in the rain.

I know,I have said upgrade haha

Fog lights not driving lights, driving lights come on with main beam not a switch.

Also spare isnt a space saver, its a full sized wheel, just not the same size as whats on the car.

 

[jc_boc]

Now i am confused. Why do they then say you get a full size alloy? Now i get it, the spare would be a steel one right?

 

[craigboca]

I stand corrected!Although the bit about the wheel seems odd "full size but not the same size...." what constitutes full size if it is not the same size as the wheels that come with the car?

Back to the box,I wish the tuning companies would bring out there programs for the car,not even to get it done right away but just to know what their going to offer and how much it will cost!mtm have been sharp out the blocks but 1k is a bit OTT price wise

 

[craigboca]

Is it a smaller wheel with larger profile tyre or something?

 

[techie]

What I mean is the wheel is a propper steel wheel (rather than a skinny spacer saver). The idea is not to save space, just SEAT being tight nd only giving us four alloys, the steel is just a boggo standard basic spec Ibiza steel as fitted to a base model.

 

[techie]

Now i am confused. Why do they then say you get a full size alloy? Now i get it, the spare would be a steel one right?

You do get a full sized alloy with the racing brakes, as the steel won't fit on the front.

 

[jc_boc]

Woohoo!!!! Hahahhaahha

 

[nightflight]

ah, so if i was to buy a single extra matching alloy from SEAT, it'd fit in the hole where the spare is now?

 

[mardon]

Yup.

 

[craigboca]

that got me thinking, I've had the four alloys on the car done in gloss black...Might have have to get the spare done now!

 

[mardon]

Did you get the roof done? Looks like it from the mini photo. How did the gloss grill's come out?

 

[jc_boc]

Any chance of a nice pic of the wheels on the car from the side? I am considering doing the same but want to see it on a white car first. PLEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZEEEE?????

I have seen the pic's and it looks great. They are not my photo's to post though

Must say the xenon's make the black mouth look even meaner! There is literally no silver on them.
