Added: Seat Leon Cupra Splitter
Footwell Neons
20mm Rear wheel spacers (cheers Coyle), (planning to fit 30mm to rear and put the 20mm on the front)
Blue hose kit in engine bay and painted some bits and peices.
Strut Brace (Cheers Coyle)

Removed: Rear wiper

Neon pics are obviously poor because it's beautifull sunshine here in south wales today but i tried, ill get some better pics tonight Loving the wheel spacers at the minute but they need to be bigger!!!

Check it out:

This is a sneak peak at the audio install to go in withing the next week or so, waiting on 5 sheets of delayed sound deadening

Before any of you say, i know it needs to be lower and phatter! I'm going to steal coyles coilovers from him when he decided to man up and upgrade his suspension again! Also when i find some 30mm spacers for a good price they will be going on the back aswell!

Also going to paint the yellow bits in the engine bay and give it a good clean sometime soon, same with the interior! Once the audio's on it shall be valeted!

All comments welcome!

looks goood whats the button by the cig lighter for ?

So 20 mm spacers will work?

I've got 4 MOMO racing 98 PCB hub centric 20 mm spacers somewhere here after the Uno was traded in. No problems with 17" wheels?

Needs lowered...

Only joking, looking good not a fan of the neon tbh.. Trainers look alright

Generally very nice mate.
IMO though the engine kit you've fitted is completely the wrong blue and clashes with the lovely colour of your paint work. Red or silver would have been a much better choice and respray the battery box & strutbrace at the same time.

Secondly, how do these spacers work? do you fit longer wheel nuts? do they not put undue stress on bearings etc?

Button by the cig lighter is for the neons mate.

The car is lowered on sportlines already but i want coilovers

The 20mm spacers work fine on the back, currently on 18" wheels though. They are hubcentric. They bolt onto the drum and then the wheels bolt onto the spacers. The bearings seem to be fine imo.

Cheers for the comments.

Mate I have never seen such an interior and seat covers in a Stilo before? Are they standard or some new seat covers you bought ?

Different types. What is important is that it is a 100 % hub fit. So 98 PCB is a must. Some wide spacers bolt on to the hub itself using regular nuts. Then the wheel is bolted to the spacer. This is a nice way of fitting 5-stud alloys to a 4-stud hub.

On 20 mm I'd guess longer bolts straight trough (which I've got from the previous car) is the best. My MOMO spacers are fitted to the hub with one of the spigots for the brake disc, which is removed and replaced with a standard hex bolt.

These were standard on the car when i bought it, i'd like leather rear seats and the front 2 seats to be black leather bucket seats ideally.

:devil: If you can find any Subframes that work I need to send mine back as they dont fit.
Also you dont want buckets you need sports recliners so people can still get in the back.

Is that Vandamme speaker cable :yum:

Very nice so far - looks like I'll be one of the last to fit a Leon splitter to my Stilo at the this rate

Why is that?

On the Ritmo Abarth we had buckets (were also an option to have standard Recaro sport recliners) but those worked like a dream with people in the back. The Abarth was only allowed to have 2 passengers in the back - though the rest of the models had 3. The Abarth only came as a 3 door model.

Don't forget the OCS sensor. If you've got it, then get an emulator, as it most likely won't fit the sport seats.

Yes stu that's vandamme speaker cable And lots of it!!!

The seats would be installed at a much later date! So im not even thinking about it yet!

I dont know about your country but here Bucket seats have no tilt mechanism to allow passengers to get into the rear of the car so the only option would be through the boot. :devil:
That is why you buy sports recliners so you can tilt it forward.

I need to look into the OCS emulator, but the bazzer will go off any way as i dont know of an emulator for the steering wheel. I hate standard wheels, it feels like driving a truck so i always change it for a sports wheel

Ill give you a fiver for the lot :devil:

Very nicely done! I like the wheels, the splitter and the engine bay. Not fun of the neons though. As you said, you need to lower it! It will look great with the spacers!

I need your angel eyes aswell nikos!!!!

Haha, those bucket seats could tilt. They might fit aswell. Try to source up a Ritmo (Strada) Abarth. Fantastic seats, with a hole in the middle of the seat for your balls (or seatbelt).

Good point. Still, after 4 years I honk the horn on every 360° turn of the steering wheel due to the unintelligent design of the horn (lower spoke).

I already have the seats. It's just the sparco subframes that are giving me jip. If I pay £150 for 2 pieces of metal then I expect them to do the whole job. These ones you have to remove the runners and mech from the original seating mounts, fit the sub frames to them and then the after Market recliners. I wouldn't have paid £75 for th pair if I new that let alone each. Also the were sold under the proviso that all I have to do is unbolt the standard seats fit sub frames to car and bucket seats runners to sub frame.
