Toledo Mod Idea's

[reflexuk]

There seems to be a distinct lack of decent Tolly back bumpers available out there. Lots of fronts because of all the Leon kits. JE design has a nice looking front, but only offers a naff carzone style 'skirt' to tag on the existing back end. Rubbish! Even most of the auction site sellers don't offer a pretty rear end. Help! Where should I be looking?

I loike the Seidl kit but it's mega bucks money. The search goes on...

Do Leon back bumpers fit unmodified onto Toledos?

I'm afraid a Seat Leon rear bumper will not fit a Tolly, the problem you face is, as the model is getting older, the kits for them have come to an end, i did have a couple of sites that i noted when i was looking for mine, but on re-visiting the sites, no more rear bumpers for the Tolly, the only way to make your bumper look modified and good , is by what a couple have done already and these Tolly owners are StuC and TIIEWL, modify it with a TT bumper, StuC has a thread on here, look for Tolly To TT, this thread will help you, it looks really smart, but you will have to put a bit of graft into it

roof wing

Is the back of the roof the on a Toledo the same shape as a Leon? I wonder if a roof wing was interchangeable, anyone?

 

[george_seamons]

It won't fit. I speak from experience! The back of the leon is a lot more curved than the toledo.

, might be letting my tolly go, but just looking for interest at the moment, is any body interested, how much do you think it's worth, after all the money that's been, ploughed into it, Year 2000, about 89k, with service history, someone's interested at 3k, but i don't know

Not sure tbh mate. Although you plough loads of money into the car you never really get it back. Best bet is a private sale where someone really likes the look of the mods you've done and might be willing to part with the money you're looking for.

Just to give you an idea, I have still got a draw back to a scooby and my brother went to look at one in a garage for me. It was an older 2000 model with 84K and they wanted £3995. He gave them my car details for a trade in value, 2001, 50K miles v5 170, 3 owners, FSH, few mods etc. They said as long as it was in the tip-top condition he described they'd give me about £1.5K

So 3K doesn't sound too bad and is probably what I would be looking for if selling privately.

Do have a number of options, some times i edge to the side of, take most of mod's off V5, transfer to 1.8 Turbo, this is still a option and it seems to be heading more this way, especially if someone thinks they are getting a modded up car, for next to nothing and we all know about dealer stealers, Kewe we know yours is worth more than £1.5k, but traders do not take mod's into consideration, untill they have got the car and it's time for them to sell it, remember in a previous post by Midcuk, oh well still thinking and scratching my head.
All this has come from having a drive in the 20vt, it's amazing how it pulls with only a 1.8 engine, it has less extra's than the V5, but can get around this by putting some in, someone's offered me a complete V5, Year 2000, engine problem for £200, but i have got no where to put it, still working on it , undercover from the wife .
Will see, but if you have not drove a 1.8 20vt, it is a experience and if you get chance, you must try it

Still trying to get the bits together for my Tolly mods. Got a Cupra bumper off epay and shopping for a splitter for it. does anyone know the partnos for the blanking plugs that cover the bolt holes?

Can anyone suggest a well suited bootlid spoiler that's not expensive?

Best bet might be to go along to SEAT dealer and get the bumper inserts and ask about the Toledo Sport spoiler while you're there.

right, i love the idea of this thread so thought i might as well revive it

Kewe: can you actually go out and buy coloured bump strips from the stealers? i was thinking of painting but it would be easy to buy them as is. Also, the SEAT sport spoiler, straight from dealers then?

Any other subtle mods then?

No mate, you can only buy the bump strips black dimple or smooth primed I believe. If you're intersested might be worth giving David @ Seremotors a shout as well as the spoiler.

hmmm...right. Who is this Dave guy? a club sponsor? how much do you reckon for colour coding and spoiler painting. Couple of hundred?

Not sure about cost but probably around £200 wouldn't be too far off the mark.

Spoiler...Seat Sport one is 60 quid and comes primed...and is easy to fit...

sorry, I can't quote the picture due to my postcount, but you know what I am talking about...

can anyone help me with a link to a shop or any information related to where i can find such a spoiler for a toledo (on PM if posting a link is not allowed) ? I have been searching for this part for months, and I'm finding only "toledo 1 style" which I don't like, or huge wrc-cheap-looking ones.
many thanks to anyone who will at least give me some hints on where to find it...

 

[mayfair86]

the gold one near the beginning has the spoilers I want, both the boot and roof ones anyone know what theyre called or where to get them?

 

[Bigcraigy]

Some lovely looking toledos on here people. I have just got myself a Toledo 20v Turbo, just looking around for some inspiration for mods.

 

[mayfair86]

personally I would say lower first! then just subtle mods, cupra kit maybe, spoilers are extremely hard to come by. get some pics up!

Going to punch this post forward because it sure deserves it for we sure all spent some money..... not right for it to be lost in the background
