As much as I enjoy the concept of detailing and looking after cars, in my honest opinion £550 to coat the paint is far too much to be worth it. Having had my car for nearly a year and a half, I cannot really see what benefit I would have gained, especially for that level of cost. Which detailer was that? Obisidian in Oldham?

Some of the vehicles he takes care of are impressive (Porsche 911's etc) and maybe that is where the high price came from but saying that, other detailers seemed to be at around that price point anyway.

robbyvrs Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Well just agreed a deal on another Leon FR Titanium so if it's ready in time i'll be trading in the Fiesta on Saturday. The Fiesta is a nice car but with all the problems i've had with this car i've lost faith in in and have got to the stage where i've lost interest 9especially after dealer washed the car and covered it in swirls again) I'll be removing all the extras i fitted so if anyone is interested in parts let me know asap. I have the factory fitted spare wheel + toolkit but will need your temp fix kit in p/x before the car goes if that's of interest to anyone - collection from Huddersfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my experience of SEAT aftersales was not dissimilar to yours with Ford, so hope you go on better this time!😀 What engine are you getting, btw?

I'm getting a facelift 1.4 FR Titanium 150bhp in grey (has the rear spoiler, 18"s and side blades as standard, Had a 2016 Fr same model a year or so ago, nice car which i should have kept, looked nice in white with the skirts, 18"s rear spoiler, used to get mid-late 40s around town and it was nippier than the Fiesta, new car being facelift has slight differences to exterior trim and different display, leccy handbrake 😞 and who knows what else (only seen pics of it) I've had the same 150bhp COD engine in a few previous cars - 2x Polo GTs, Leon FR, Audi A3 S-line, 2x Golf GTs so know it's reliable At least with having a SEAT there's a dealer on my way to work - no more 1 hour out of my way trip every time something goes wrong (thanks Ford) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 1.8 which didn't seem to be much of an advantage, same max torque on both. Hope you get a good 'un and don't need to bother the dealer anyway!😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
