Looked at this a couple weeks ago and put a deposit down and I collected it today,
previously had a mk1 leon cupra
Mk2 Leon fr in white
2.0 tfsi dsg
144000kms (ireland)
Completely standard
Full service history
The bodywork and interior is very clean and it's very tight to drive.


Plans are:
Btcc spoiler (Should be ordered tomorrow)
Triple R composites front lip (ordered)
Lower it on hnr springs or eibach sportlines. (sportlines ordered)
New wheels probably in 18"s as I've two brand new uniroyal tyres there.( Found a Cupra R for breaking so going to try and get them tomorrow)
Something along the lines of an RNS510 or an android equivalent etc

haven't drove it much but suspension seems abit noisey especially tavelling slowly once ive driven it it gets abit quieter, possibly bushings? top mounts? you hear it Alot more inside the car. its been parked up at while in a dealership
Just have the one crappy pic for now



got a few more pics this morning on the way home from work

Looks like a nice tidy car.

Good base for some tasteful mods. I will vouch for H&R springs, lowered my FR on them and its made a big difference.

Check my readers ride for ideas if you want any.

Small update, have no pics of it properly as im working nights. Just ordered my triple R composites front lip. would love a cupra spoiler but the only option is a btcc one which ill have to think about if i want to go that route. Hopefully should be picking up some HnR springs this week too

read through multiple threads and alot seem to vouch for the Sportlines. i am sure HnR are very good alot of people in the vw scene in ireland use them. also the only option i could get were 30mm here and it barely lowers the FR from what ive read. plus the springs were nearly half the price from ebay germany which was a plus

40mm from Germany nice and cheap too.

As above nice and cheap H&R's - mine were from this seller and many other members have bought off him.

Around £50-60+ cheaper than UK prices.

Here's mine on the H&R's

Thanks mate, I will be looking to change the FR for something a little quicker in the next 6-8 months. Have the itch to get a petrol car again. There will probably be everything on it at present for sale then too.

Though I would love to get some nice bola b1 wheels on the FR too, but can't justify buying some if I'm going to change cars......then again if I go for an S3 or something VAG they'll fit....lol

Ye I just miss out on cupra r wheels. I don't know what to get at the min. Just in the middle of cleaning the car now n I'm really liking the 17"s on it at the min I'll wait till I drop it and see how it looks then. Power wise for me if I get bored I'll remap it plenty of power in it at the min. Pulls slot stronger then my mk1 cupra

Bit slack on the updates as I haven't been able to do much. My springs and lip have been delivered and are sitting at my parent house so should be fitting them Next Week, also got lucky today n picked up a set of 18"bbs seat sports today with good tyres for 100 quid. The lips need a refurb but I want them sprayed anthracite or black anyway

Took to adding abit of vinyl on the bumper andfront grille. Also replaced the center bumper grille too as mine was broken. I'm happy with the wrap but the grille could do with being done again.

Have this collection also :) the springs are being fitted Monday and I'll get the lip fitted on my days off. Also these are the wheels I picked up, really want to put them on but I'll keep the 17's on for the winter
