Opinions please, plus another chance to show off the small front plate and the black S badge ;)

Terrible pictures in terrible light in a terrible location, but Meh, bite me... I'll get some better ones soon! Looks better in real life, plus it looks better when you don't focus on them directly and look at the overall picture, if you know what I mean....?

Bought a set from this forum in the end. Swapped over last night, was a 10 minute job luckily :)

i dont know matey, i think it looks like someone kicked your old ones off and those are the plastic dealer/only ones in breakers yard left.

Sorry,

But it would be a boring world if we all liked the same!

My fear is they would end up looking that way, but as they are shiny and not matt - like the el' cheapo ones on crappy cars - they don't look that way at all. At least, they wouldn't if I bothered to take a better picture :lol:

I did... and still do... want teardrop ones, but they so rarely come up for sale in electric, heated and folding form that I'd still be waiting for a set long after I'd sold the car! These happened to be the right colour at the right price, so I thought Meh, I'm having them :D

Not to put your work down, but i've never understood wanting to black out the logo.

The Seat "S" is a pretty awesome, chunky thing and I can't understand why anyone would want to make it harder to see...

As usual, your car's looking better than mine ;)

Doesn't look bad, bt I don't think it looks better than stock to be honest, certainly not the mirrors anyway.

Be careful though Rob, too much black and it will look like bumblebee's butt!

For sure, that's enough black for me now! :)

Cheers for the comments everyone, good and bad. If nothing else, it creates debate and that's part of the fun of this modding lark.

I'm not in the position to go out and spend thousands on wheels, suspension, BT setups and other such things, so instead I like changing the little things that all add up to make the car look distinctive and different :)

Easier said than done sometimes, that was taken moments after getting in from work before heading straight back out again :lol:
