How can i give my standard leon a bit more Wow factor??

[darrennowell]

Hey guys

So ive recently purchased a 1.8 t 20vt leon, its standard as it came out the factory, ide like to change a few bits on it to make it look a bit sexier, ive taken the badges off the back to start with looks a bit tidier, what other things can i to do it without spending mega bucks?

Can i change the black strips that run around the bumper and sides to silver ones to match the body colour if so where can i buy these or do you just spray the existing ones?

Also the seat badge on the front do you guys think i should go badgeless? or what other options are there? i can only find the standard badgeless replacement grill online,but think thats a little dull..

Basically just looking for some inpiration to give it a bit more wow factor, body kits are out of my price range at the moment.

Thanks in advance

How much we looking at for a remap? do i need to mod the engine at all to do this? im pretty clueless when it comes to car mechanics, we all gotta start somewhere tho!

Get yourself some new wheels, instant impact.

I'm going to colour code the bump strips too, are they like the Golfs and just pop off?

 

[darrennowell]

No idea 20vt baby, hopefully.. dont wanna fiddle an break things so i'll wait til someone knows

 

[darrennowell]

Wheels are on the list JMS need to do a bit more overtime first, buying her in the first place has left a dent in my bank account

Yeah they just pop off. Sometimes need persuasion with a screw driver but be careful not to damage anything

 

[darrennowell]

Thanks MPJ88 project for the weekend sorted

Im in a similar situation with you mate, but with me its trying to do little bits as the insurance company is not being kind to me when it comes to mods. Iv ordered a cupra r splitter, which imo is a must. Also u could spray/ vinyl wrap the badges black, change everything to LEDs, pressed plates, fabia wiper, stubby aerial

 

[darrennowell]

nice richy i'll these to the list think a black Sbadge will look better than badgeless.. not sure what splitter is (duh) but i'll look into

 

[darrennowell]

and oh yeh insurance such a shitter, ive not been driving two years yet so they dont like me at all!

 

[Ruben-cupra]

hi, im also looking to give mine a bit of a wow factor, a nice body kit would be nice. not sure what to do?? any advice??

 

[ball172]

IMO stay away from bodykits. The cupra kit is nice enough but the cupra r bumpers are a nice upgrade! Don't ruin the look of ur Leon with crappy kits, each to their own though!

 

[20vt_baby]

I'd feel like a fraud just upgrading to R bumpers

 

[oldskool]

A different front bumper for you to consider ( if you can find one)
