Looks really good mate. You've made some really nice changes.

I have had my 56 plate FR TDI about 2 weeks now and its great.

Had the DPF removed today, along with the EGR delete and remap. Up to 205bhp and 342 lb/ft.

Eibach Sportline springs to go on in 2 weeks as well as a Pioneer double din unit and a load of LED bulbs.

Loving the centre exhaust. How much was the rear diffuser/exit?

nice choice, without checking I think the diffuser is £200, it's an oem part so just ask dave @ sere or a local tps.

Love the rear end on your leon!

I am currently in the process of doing something very similar on mine. I have the K1/Aero bumper and looking to do the cupra r look.

Was your original diffuser removable or did you cut it out?

The diffuser is not removable no.
It's been bonded to the K1/Aero rear bumper. and then colour coded.
My original bumper is sat in the shed lol.

The standard btcc bumper has three pre marked areas to cut (so you need to cut to suit vehicle)
In my case it was cut to suit the LCR exhaust

It's an OEM part. I got mine from my local TPS

Rang up tps today, diffuser is £200+!!
Have spent quite a bit gathering all the parts for my conversion so budget it tight.

I was thinking to use the normal BTCC exhaust trims to mark up 2 centre exhaust cut outs on the aero bumper and then fit some fins (ebay?), do you think it will come out good?

Also do you still have your original 18" alloys that are in your first few pics?

You could use them I guess. I have seen a photo of a BTCC Leon with centre exhausts (must have been R32 back box) and no diffuser. you'd need to find out where
the LCR exhaust tips come out and the space between them.

Yeah I have all the bits I've taken off my car stored just in case (apart from the exhaust which I left at the garage and forgot to pick up the next day)

be good to see your mods mate..
I doubt I'll sell them mate, if I do I'll probably sell them to the paintshop guy who done my bumper

Hi again Wilksy,

was wondering how you went about moving the standard exhaust sitting at the bottom left to the centre?
Also are the tailpipes custom as they look slightly larger than the standard?
