I don't think its quite retro yet since its still a fairly new car but it will be one day...   Seat Toledo 2.0l 8v. Had a few mods like the hard slam and the 7.5" wide Ronals that feed off my inner arches on a daily basis. Swapped in a half leather interior from a 16v model too.  I've got a few plans, might remove the spoiler and colour code the black bumper strips. Gonna trial the spoiler removal today so pics later. |

I quite like these, aren't they basically a Mk2 Jetta underneath?
Yours looks rather smart.

Yeah I'd like to de-badge it but too much hastle cos I'd need to cut the grill up and have a spare to be able to do it. (No de-badged grills for this made for this car to my knowledge) The grill looks much better than it did though... Before...  Now...  |

That is a seriously overlooked VAG car, it looks fantastic, i've owned a mark2 Toledo 2.3v5 for a year, now selling though but it's an absolutely brilliant car

Really liking that. Always had a soft spot for the 2 door, and had a 1.8T Ibiza a few years ago which was awesome!! Seat are seriously overlooked cars, and Wehey, no scene tax;)

That looks great! I am considering a Seat as my next daily driver, I would like a Cordoba 2 door or a Toledo as they are a bit rarer than Ibizas.  |

Thanks for the positive feedback peeps.
The reason I went for it was because it's a little different from the norm and nobody really does them in the UK
(Big in Germany though)
And no scene tax so cheap to buy and mod!

Cheers.
Yeah I'm planning to loose the boot spoiler in the near future, maybe the black strips on the bumpers too.
Not 100% on them though.
Apart from that I'm pleased with how its looking.

I like the Black Strips, adds something and it goes with the spiltter and sidestrips.
