Seat Leon Fr Mk2 from germany

[ShakFR]

Hey everyone,

I'm reading the forum for quite a while and even got inspired by some readers rides so I thought it's about time to introduce my beloved Seat Leon aswell:

Since 2020 I own a 2010 Seat Leon Fr Mk2 Facelift 2.0 210 bhp. I've done quite some modifications since. In the following posts I'm gonna show some picture to show the progress over the past years.

Thats how he looked when I bought him:
(Sorry in advance for the bad quality of the old pics when I bought it)

One of the first things I did was replacing the standard exhaust with a Milltek Cat-back non resonated. I also replaced the rear plate bulbs with LED's

 

[ShakFR]

Next changes I did was spraying the rear Seat badge:

And replacing my taillights with litec LED taillights:

I always loved the rear of the leon mk2 but I wanted a more unique look so i added a rear difuser from Maxton:

Next in line it was about time to get some new rims for the summer:

I got myself some Ronal R62 and kept the original Ibera rims for my winter tires

 

[ShakFR]

After that it was time to lower the "bus" a little.
I got myself Eibach Springs. While replacing the springs i also painted the calipers red:

Since I wanted to get rid of any chrome and wanted to keep the red/black theme, I removed the "LEON" badges in the rear and replaced the frontgrill with the cupra one:

 

[ShakFR]

Inspired by other users I did some small modifications like:

Replacing the mirror covers with black ones

I replaced the interior light with LED's

Replaced the pedal for accelerator and clutch and added a footrest

Now I needed new mats

 

[ShakFR]

In the next step I originally wanted to have the roof painted black but ended up repainting the whole car with fresh color

I also painted the part behind the license plate in black:

 

[ShakFR]

Before the paint I also added a maxton frontsplitter

Also back on the old ibera rims because winter tires

 

[ShakFR]

My last modification was adding a SRS-Tec roofspoiler (also painted glossy black like my roof)

 

[ShakFR]

Thats most changes I did in pictures until today.

I'm sorry if parts of my posts are hard to read, but I'm no native english speaker.

Here are some up to date pictures:

Thank you I appreciate any feedback

I recently got a fresh Stage 1 running 258 bhp 398nm

In the next week/weeks I will get some spacers for my wheels and will go back to my summer tires.
Those wheels really hiding in there

I also plan to fit/change following parts:
- HFI Carbon Air Box Gen. 2 plus
- GFB DV+ T9381
- rear wiper clean
- frameless plateholder

and some more things I'll provide pictures

Looks great, sportier looking, but tastefully done.

Very nice, looks excellent! Love the black and white seats, I've not seen many of them.

Some light smoke tint will look good on headlights

Do you mean you're going to delete the rear wiper? Would certainly give a cleaner look, but I like to be able to see clearly out the back when it's raining! Though I guess Germany isn't as wet as the UK ...

Thinking about replacing the headlights for a while now but those xenons are hella expensive, but yes you're right it would definetly look better.

Pokey!

Yes, it will look way cleaner without.
And we have more than enough rain here aswell.
But I'm not really using the rear wiper very much so it will be fine.
