Yeah it's the chrome grill surround that he's on about.

It goes around the out side of the section where the 'S' is, and then the other two sections either side. So yeah it would go on the honeycomb grill too!

Hmmmmmm..... you've got me in the mood for looking into getting a honeycomb grill now!!!!

I definitley don't think I will now. Just been looking at some photos and stumbled across a grey leon with them on... :blink: no... just... no!

Yeah that's the only thing that's putting me off doing it to be honest mate. Looks like a lot of time & effort! And a nice dry day to do it in, so will wait till spring / summer I think!

I never really do any modding in the winter, just never enough daylight hours in the day to get anything done!

Still waiting for the chrome grill surround to arrive. They've had to order it from Seat so it could be a couple of weeks yet.

Yep, it's in the official accessories catalogue. Think it looks much better myself and don't know why it wasn't fitted as standard in the original design.

A month later and it's finally arrived! Car needs a wash and this is just a quick mobile snap, but here you go:

Next job is to replace the wiper linkage so I can see out of the thing!

I've decided that those chrome grill surrounds only look kinda good on the mk4 ibiza!

Not on the leons though, especially since I saw a very very chaved up leon a few days ago with bits of chrome everywhere. Looked horrific! :sick:

Just checked and they don't fold in! Maybe only the cupras have that option.

Apparently my 2004 leon is classed as a 'facelift model', but the only difference I can see is the mirrors! lol, hardly a facelift.


ive gt a tdi 110 and the mirrors are electricly folding
