exeo sport - what mods next?

[jakey boy]

ive had this for a few weeks, just gave it a major service and put it through its first mot.

really quite like it, but you dont really see many modified ( tbh you dont see many at all )

its quite a high spec'd sport with cloth, but winter pack, solar electric sunroof, factory upgrade suspension, the previous owner has had the original wheels painted metallic black, added a cupra grille, boot lid spoiler and chrome exhaust trim.

due to these cars being so rare, i feel a bit left out of forums nowadays
which is weird after leaving civinfo when i sold my type r on.

anyway, what next for the exeo. it sits reasonable for a daily, but id love to get coilovers.
has anyone on here fitted them? pics would be grand.
bit of stance would be nice on the rim front, nothing major as its always gonna be a daily family fun bus, 3SDM 0.01 would be ideal. but thats really me wishing to be honest.

engine wise, im past bothered about performance and happy enough with the 140 bhp lump.
however my mechanic has recommended dumping the dpf. i wasnt that fussed on another map, just wanted to leave it alone but maybe someone on here can advise on maps.
a few years back i had an 05 plate accord ictdi that eventually ran a premier tuning stage two egr delete map so i know the benefits of such maps. thoughts peeps?

anyway, enough of my rambling, anyone any idea of where i go next ??

Car looks well mate. Like the grill. (Want one)
I looked into getting rid of the dpf. And was adviced by a few people that they're designed to work if you do motorway driving and to keep emissions down. I would think if you get rid of it you could come into problems when it comes to Mot time.

This is a DIY grille, they're not available from Seat like this.

Cheers buddy, I do a few motorway miles so hopefully it won't become clogged up

I thought it was a factory option grille but I'll contact the previous owner and find out. Imo it totally transforms the front end of the exeo

Seat has 3 grilles for the Exeo, but all of these have the badge which can't be removed.
There's a honeycomb 'grille' which is meant to be mounted behind the 2009 grille (see picture below)
The only way is cut the inner part away and mount the honeycomb part in it.
The mod is described here with pictures [spanish]: http://mofler.com/foro/index.php/topic,8295.0.html

The 2 badgeless grilles available, one is from Lester:

The other is from JE Design:

Both these badgeless grilles have a different honeycomb compared with the one from Seat

Cheers McDonald , good to find someone in the know with exeos!!!
Any thoughts on suspension?

Have a look at the Eibach catalogue.
They make the springs for the Exeo that are sold by Seat.
Eibach has complete suspension kits for the Exeo too.

Thanks buddy, by the looks of it, the car already has the factory option springs.
It sits slightly lower than other exeo sports, maybe just 20mm though.
Think it would look awesome with a proper drop. There was another white exeo with white 18's that was well down

Personally I would leave the suspension alone and fit a rs4 rear anti roll bar, makes the handling very nice! Had that on my old b7 and getting for for my b6 and my exeo soon.

There isn't that many mods for a exeo, but at some point I will be having anothe miltek system on mine, loved it on my old b7! Looked mint with the 2 tail pipes!
