Hi,

Bought this car recent enough so said i'd start this.

Spec

2008 Seat Leon FR PD170 TDI
Candy White
18" FR alloys
All FR interior ie seats, steering wheel gearstick as standard


Bits Done
Remap and DPF delete- 205 BHP 310 torques
Injector Recall done
Fittment of Cupra front bumper and honeycomb grills
Upgarded to bi-xenon headlights
Upgraded to R32 brake set-up
4 michellin pilot sport tyres to keep her safe!
Very light window tinting

Think thats it so far. Will use this site for ideas as there are very little of these cars in Ireland(not one sold new) and so mod ideas and info is thin on the ground.

Find the car a big step-up from my PD150 Leon cupra and love it:D

Thanks for looking. Inputs/ideas/comments appreciated.

Ok so a few updates now.

Got the alloys refurbd and finished in a gloss black colour. I think it suits the white car.

Also decided to get rid of the chrome grill and went for a black instead.

Also lowered the car on Eibach Sportlines. Not too low but visually an improvement IMO.

I knew i recognised your car..I've seen your thread over on VAGdrivers aswell
Lovely car mate and not common over here at all

I think painting or wrapping the lower part and piece behind the licence plate of your front bumper would look great..it would tie in with your whole black and white theme aswell :)
 
Cheers, yeah I have no other threads that I can really get ideas off from the Irish sites. yeah i do like that idea. Have you a thread for your leon on VD?

Yep I have one but haven't updated it in ages..I'm still in college so don't really have much money to spend on her at the moment :(
But I'm giving it a polish and good clean for Fermoy on Sunday so I'll probably update it after the weekend.

Here's the thread if you wanna have a look.. http://vagdrivers.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=79676&hl=leon


Are you heading down to Fermoy on Sunday?

College does that to you alright!

I might go to Fermoy, havent being to a show yet so it would be worth a look!

Il keep an eye out for your car if I'm down there.

Yeah you should pop down for a look..I went last year and it was great craic!
The standard of some of the cars is amazing
 
ah right i didnt realise it could be done lol

Thanks mate :) need get it lowered next, just saving the cash now

Lowering tranforms the look of them IMO! I have eibach sportlines in mine and they are great value. I will get a high end coilover onces the shocks are needing changing but hopefully that won't be for a long time!
 
The bi-xenon headlights fitted gave off a more whiteish clear light than the parks and the fogs. This didn't look right so I tried source bulbs to match them all up.
Result wasn't a perfect match but an improvement anyway without fitting anything that would dazzle other drivers like some bulbs you meet on the road!
