Unbelievable....I am the owner of this car. I bought it in August, I presume from Torred1771 as I saw it advertised in Harrogate, which is where he has said his 'Location' is. Anyway, I am no car expert so nothing has changed with the car as of yet. I am keen on doing a few bits to it though, I really like the look of the Cupra R so would love to try replicate one with this. Can anyone tell me whether that is possible at all? Would the bumper fit this car? Could I just put a LCR front splitter on or would that look daft?

As you can probably tell, I am a complete beginner here and was thinking of doing some mods to my car anyway, the fact I have come across this thread maybe gives me a headstart or would I be better starting a new thread?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
 
Wow what a small world LOL, welcome to the team.
yeah looks wise wise everything is transferable from the cupra r. So not a problem, I've got a splitter on the normal bumper, like the way it looks, so don't see why you can't do the same, get your readers ride thread started & il subscribe.

Thanks for the reply mate. So just to be clear (huuuuge NOOB) I could buy a LCR front splitter for 20 quid and fit it to my bumper which is only Leon S? Have you got a picture please?

Also, I think there is a protector over the paintwork which is now peeling in some places. Any ideas what to do with this?

Cheers
 
Any problems with lacquer peel? Every flash red leon I have seen has the same problem. Also the colour tends to fade very easily.
 
Also, what is this like? I gather its probably no good as its not a genuine Seat one but has anyone bought one like this? [There is supposed to be a link here to an ebay item here but I am not allowed until I reach 15 posts :( ] try this after ebay.co.uk

My central locking is very touch and go and the remote central locking just doesnt work. I changed the batteries in the key as the LED wasnt flashing and that didnt work. So, I loaded the key up with bits of paper so the battery would contact where it needed to and probably wasnt before. The LED now works, but the remote key doesnt. I have used various guides from here to try pair the key up with the car once again and none of them have worked. Any ideas?:confused:
