Stunning wheels!

Just not so sure about the side view of the Leon, I just can't get along with that sloping line that goes down the side of the car.
Bet she goes well though!!

Those Leons look especially good in silver and in white.
-
looking good fella :happy2:, i will sit at the bra'less table as i think the car looks better without one due to the position of the front grill

....
I think it looks very good indeed but the only thing that worries me is the legality of the sharp protusions in the new splitter.
Even at 20 mph, if a kid ran out and came into contact with those splitter points, injuries would be potentially very nasty and you could find yourself in very hot water with both authority and insurance.
Is the roof paint or vinyl?
-
Not really thought about that :confused:
It's paint mate
-
Car looks the nuts mate, seen you on monday near awesome, did'nt notice the black roof then, did you get it done near there?

i think if you hit a child at 20 mph theyd be foooked anyways!

....Surely you aren't suggesting that it therefore doesn't matter if the extent of a pedestrian's injuries is increased by those pointed protrusions?
Apparently a pedestrian hit at 20 mph has a 95% chance of survival. The transition from minor to major injuries occurs at 20 mph. However, this is based on current car design under stringent regulations. Anything pointed which is added to the front of a vehicle will greatly increase the risk of much more serious injury in the event of a pedestrian impact. Human beings are made of soft flesh - It's simple physics. You can easily kill someone with a blunt screw-driver.
ChrisGTI drives around with his front tow-eye in place - It looks extremely cool, it really does - But in the event of an injury sustained to a third party, even if it's absolutely not Chris's fault...............
Btw, Chris, you can get nice red soft belt tow-eyes now.
-
Not really thought about that :confused:
....It was the first thing that I thought when I saw it.
How have you described it to your insurer? Is it custom made or off the shelf?
I'd be modding those points - They could easily cause very severe lacerations.

My insurer is on camp and im going into the office on tuesday to see how they want to add it to my policy.
Will update on what they say. There is a company behind camp who work with plastics and have already thought about having it trimmed. Besides the safety aspect I'd prefer it to look a little more subtle
* going to ring her now, I imagine they'l want a picture to decide how it would effect my policy
