So we finally got the car back following a few mods (took 2 weeks)

Here is what we did:
Full OEM M-Sport body kit
M-Sport rear lip spoiler
Change the 19” style 230 alloys to 18” MV3
Vinyl wrapped from Montigo blue to satin black (not flat / matte black)

Performance modes will be installed in a couple of months as I want to get a year’s NCB first.

This is what it looked like before

I know its not to everyone’s taste (well most people here will not like it) but my wife drives this car 90% of the time and she really wanted to get it done and it has made her happy. I was really itching to sell the car as I wanted a change but she wants to keep it.

Well that's that spoiled

Ricochet J · 22 Jun 2010 at 09:36

Looked better before IMO.

OllyM · 22 Jun 2010 at 09:36

Looks hideous. Did you get somebody to chop the roof off too?

SeatIbiza · 22 Jun 2010 at 09:37

I didn't look at the before. I agree it did look better before :S

lol the blue one is my dad's car which is the same colour and has the style 230 alloys. I could not find a picture of the car before.

Horrendous.

Gorgeous car before now looking just pants.

At least it'll protect the original paintwork for when you come to sell it.

antijoke · 22 Jun 2010 at 09:51

Looks miles better......

before.

[TW]Fox · 22 Jun 2010 at 09:52

Did your wife really want that? Seems a bit odd.

Gaijin · 22 Jun 2010 at 09:52

Matt/Flat/Satin Black looks good when going for an aggressive and/or stealth look.

I personally don't think it works on a convertible especially as that blue is such a nice blue.

Hope you enjoy it though

All that money only to make it worse.

IAmATeaf · 22 Jun 2010 at 10:00

It looks OK, the pics I don't think shows the wrapped car off at all. We need a pic from the front taken at the same angle as the last pic.

A gypo car made even gypier!

TangoSixteen · 22 Jun 2010 at 10:01

LOL @ this. More money than sense comes to mind tbh.

Waste of a reasonably nice (if a little mundane) car.

GravyMonster · 22 Jun 2010 at 10:02

TBH I think it looks better than before, but that's only because I despise dark blue cars.

Yep, mostly because she hated the blue, I bought it in blue because at the time I could not find something with the spec I wanted. I wold have gone with a white wrap but its got a light interior what would have looked a little odd.

It does look better in real life.
