I don't unfortunately. I bought them 2nd hand off a forum.

The car is back on AT now. Having been driving around in my OHs focus has made me realised how much harder it is to drive around in this and not so sure I'll enjoy it daily.

If anyone is interested I'll do a better deal for pistonheads members.
No worries mate, I’ve just found it difficult finding the bulbs just through internet searches, I’ll get there eventually.

I’d snap it up tomorrow if i had the spare cash and run it as a 2nd car, but that would be pointless in my circumstance. If yours was an e91 with the same spec, that would be a different prospect altogether 😂

They are H8 from what I can remember and mine are 20w LED.

I'd love someone to buy it. I honestly though it would have been bought very quickly but it's not been massively popular.

If it was a E91 I'd probably keep it. That would be the ultimate family car.

Thought I'd give this a quick update.

Managed to get the car sold yesterday, so the search for a new car has begun!

Picked up the replacement last weekend.

I knew I wanted a Leon Cupra 290 DSG. It had to be 5 door, 2016 with around 20k miles and had to have the black pack.

I found a few for sale but each one sold before I had a chance to enquire about them. Then one popped up with a very short description (Grey, 1 owner, x miles) at a dealer.

I knew that I wanted a white one, and Seat do a very light grey that is basically white (Cupra only colour). So when I enquired and found out it was the light grey I put a deposit down.

A week later, I jumped on the train for a 3.5hr trip from Portsmouth to Ashford in Kent to collect it.

So here it is:

Seat Leon Cupra 290 Black
6spd DSG
2016
17,000 miles
Black pack consists of Heated Bucket seats, Black trim pieces and 19" Diamond cut alloys.











Just waiting on the V5 so I can put my private plate on ( I hate GB plates too)

It's great fun to drive (290bhp, fwd with LSD and Adjustable suspension) and is super quick (on paper faster than the 335i). Very different to the BMW though (not high spec, seats are no where near as soft and everything is more manual)
Its a bit boring to look at but this will change with side skirts, front splitter and rear diffuser.
Hoping to keep it fairly standard, but you never know :thumbsup:
