yes 19's... Put them on as soon as i bought the car around 18 months ago... Lowered on KW v3 coilovers :)

That was quick response, thanks!

How is the finish lasting on them? How do you find the ride with 19s and it slammed? Just having a look at prices as VERY tempted!

Difficult to say on the wheels as i've pretty much had 19's / 20's on all of my vehicles the last 10 or so years so it's become the norm lol... The finish is fine, no issues at all. I've actually replaced them since this photo but with another identical set albeit slightly lighter, more dark grey than black, as one of them became square after hitting a pot hole :(.
The KW v3 are awesome coilovers, i had them on my RS4 before i sold it as well, the softest setting is basically as standard OEM and you can increase the stiffness and rebound etc from there...

Here are my current wheels They are From a Golf R, although I'm looking to change them for some Bola B1's soon.

Also, I know my T from TDI is gone, I just begrudge spending £25 on them from SEAT

Do you have rubbing issues? When i corner it rubs a lot and is doing my nut in. Tempted to raise her a bit to stop it but then the stance just wont look right :(

Yeah it does rub a little from time to time when cornering hard but i have the coilovers on the softest setting still... Looking to upgrade the Anti Roll bars and firm the shocks up a little which should resolve it... failing that i'll just increase the ride height a little as well :)

What suspension are you running on chap?

H&R CUP Kit mate. I know i need to do my ARB's which should hopefully stiffen her up on the body roll side and counter the rubbing. I also need to put shorter drop links on as i get some knocking on the odd occasion, am told this is from the ARB knocking on the drive shaft because of lowering. So still a bit to sort on the suspension side before i focus on more performance based mods.

This might fit your car if you just need the "t": http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-N...n-2000-2006-/300982061041?hash=item4613edc7f1

Also, did you try and give Dave@Sere a shout and ask how much a genuine TDI badge would cost? I'm sure you can get it cheaper than £25.
Also try Horton SEAT for a quote, you can get 10% discount too: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=325
