Hi all... recently bought a bargain 2006 Leon sport tfsi.
Basically it’s a decent-ish car that’s only done a genuine 60k miles but the bodywork is very tatty.
I’ve got a lot of experience with the 2.0 tfsi lump having owned multiple mk5 golf gti’s and I’ve also been a regular on the mk5 gti uk forum for a few years.
I’m after some advice with regards to bodywork and interior on the Leon... being a sport it looks pretty plain.
I was thinking of fitting fr bumpers and interior, steering wheel etc but the wings are dented so I’ll be replacing them too.
What’s involved with regards to face lifting it? Do I need to cut/trim anything? Does the rad pack/ front slam panel etc need changing or can I use the one that’s fitted?
What’s the basic parts list I’d need?
And also is it even worth doing or is it easier to stick with pre facelift fr kit?
I have vcds so coding shouldn’t be an issue if needed
Future plans will be ko4 conversion as I already have some bits lying around from previous tfsi projects... I’ve got s3 8p front brake setup, intercooler, injectors, HPFP with auto tech internals and pretty sure I’ve got an intake somewhere.
Any advice at all will be great... I’ve never really messed around with Leon’s so don’t have a clue what the usual mods, retrofits etc are
Cheers
