leon cupra - winter protection

Haha. Yep and loving every minute of it.

Prob best car I've owned

Yeah I've been talking to power flow Burnley

Green woods have done straight pipes for me no probs before.

Got a bit more done this Aft,

My grilles came in from David at sere, top service

So split the linea r front grille

Painted the surround gloss black, this is something I actually won't do for customers as I can't guarantee that it won't chip,

This is the grill complete

I'm going back to a chrome back badge too but so far can't find any facelift tailgate handles on ebay

I then turned my attention to the scuffed splitter and reprinted that

I also repaired the wheel that was caught,

After that I removed the rear bumper and fitted the new one, in the midst I cut off the twin pipes.

Yeah I stupidly got rid chasing a dream, I can now say that since the leon went and having the subaru and the ed30. The leon is one of the best all round cars made, powerful well specd etc and good looking,

When I sold the golf I was kind of stuck looking for something and tbh nothing really stood out, and most of the Leon's for sale had no where near the spec of mine. So I made a call and got it back

Cheers pal. Just found one on eBay

was going to say I don't think so ahaha

Went to Powerflow this morning and they made me just the back section with new oval tip.

I'll get a pic later on as it's throwing it down lol.

Also met Sam last night and he took my old bumper.

Next plan is to lower the car more to were it was, sort out the broken fog light and then a quick polish.

Lol. Was some journey you made, that's for sure.

Glad we could sort a deal out, off to look at your pics now.

Can't wait to see your remap results.

Well been super busy at work so not really updated the thread.

I decided to keep the fl tailgate and led lights, but had already bought a k1 spoiler listed on eBay, when it turned up it was a fake copy so not happy.

I've ordered a new fog light too.
Today I have serviced the car, and tomorrow will be mot seen as it run out on the 5th lol

Just won a catch can and pcv fix on eBay.

So I won this catch can set up off ebay

But it's different when they sent it ,

This is the wrong piece it's the manifold blank and he's sent a boost tap.

Now I need to buy new hose, but also something to blank off the manifold,

I don't know wether to just sell it on or try n make it work now.

Car has felt a bit lazy on cold start. So changed the bettery, whilst looking round noticed that water was still getting in coilpack 4, took it out. And it's rusty. **** design from seat. This is with the bonnet sealed.

Then on the way home started to get a miss fire, so tomorrow I will get new coils, plugs and then look at the leak again

new red coilpacks ordered, will change the plugs too I think, then im going to refit my engine cover see if it works
