My Leon Progress, Air ride, smoothed, NEW winter wheels MAM MT1's MEAN!!! PG16

[adam cupra 20vt]

Rear spax dampers all fitted. working a treat so can drive with the back much lower.

Front FK antiroll bar is fitted now but with a bit of a struggle!

Got her all jacked up, wheels off, swivel joints undone, sub frame off, new roll bar on all back together.

Then comes to connecting the rollbar, dam thing doesnt line up properly! So a jack was used to tension the rollbar in position to get the bolts done up.

As anyone else fitted the front FK anti roll bar??? I presume the standard drop links are ok to use. drivers side lined up perfect but passengers side was the problem.

Going to phone VENOM motorsport 2moro where i purchased it from and go from there.

I had this to, did you have to space the droplink away from the wishbone on the passengers side?

mine also came from Venom.

Think your car looks amazing mate.

Gotta be honest thought the BBS CH rep's were best but then thats what im after so would say that.

mate looks mint

I know what you mean mate , they don't grasp things that have been done at all..

The silver car was alright wheels were just ch reps so not special , i think it's the interior that got it for him .

!

Get your facts rights , before making comments , the bbs ch on my car are the real deal and not cheap reps ( do you know the difference between the real ones and reps) , and if you think it was just the interior that got me the trophy , then you never really looked at the car

There are some very good reps around as i used to have some for my winter wheels, only difference I found with mine was the weight of them!

Where did you get the interior done??

I;ve got the European spec leather interior in mine

Thanks dude!

BBS ch's were nice but not as good as the finish on my new winters by far!

Wait till you see the image rims after being split and polished!!

OH!

did you get back to them about that or prosumed normal??

They've sent me a second one out now and on its was as I thought it may have been made incorrectly!

Think I may look at the whiteline one if this one is the same! Been told it goes under the driveshaft so no rubbing at all. just need to see if its clear on full drop!

the easier way to spot reps are the size of the badges , i have friends who sells wheels and know what to look out for on reps

Ch reps are the new rs6 wheel , utter gash , Kenny do you have a build thread

Interesting i'll see what the replacement is like!

I can still heard mine rub but think thats cos i'm driving it much lower on the air hahaha!

If the replacement is the same i mite just space mine out too as it appears to handle well and rubs no where near as much as the stock one!

 

[nick_c_1986]

Well good bits of progress gave her a good clean! yet to polish and seal the paint for the winter but a start!!

 

[nick_c_1986]

Taken using my sisters SLR - amazing camera!! just need to learn how to use the milllion functions!

 

[nick_c_1986]

One with the image rims still on the back

Standard leon how mine used to look haha!! Left leon is like a 4x4!!

New front tyres fitted 215/35/18 slight stretch but sensible for the winter! no more arches eating the tyres now! Can now drop her down fully on the air

I loved the bbs ch's i had last winter, but lent them to a friend who kerbed one so brought them all off me! The finish on this is amazing- satin crackle black!

Have to get some close ups of the finish when i next clean her!

Hi,

I like your car, pretty mjaor transformation from standard!

In the very first post the car is looking very standard - just wondering what size wheels those are? There are some on the bay and I'm looking at getting them for my fr for the winter - they don't look too bad!

The original wheels were 16" be ideal for the winter but think they were only 7" width
