MK2 Leon 140PD Build thread

[Adamm]

Nice have you done much to your motor? I wanted to do the K1 body-kit and do it cream and brown but by the time id have bought everything etc I coulda bought a new turbo hence I went down the FR body-kit route and will do little bits too that

Only thing I had was a Stage 1 angel tunning map. Rolled 205 and 301lbft. The rest is how it came.

Thanks mate, a lot of hard work and money went in to it but the blood sweat and tears were worth it. I'm in between doing the finishing polish and waxing her or matt black?

 

[Redemption]

The paintwork looks stunning mate! Not sure I'd go matte black after seeing these pics. Matte finish always reminds me of when they used to deliver new cars to the dealers covered in a thick protective wax.
