Just bought it a week ago so still learning about it since I was a subaru man. Its fr remaped to 210 its sitting on bilstein suspension, im not sure if that is original kit. I just fitted hids and got a set of rear wind deflectors coming to match the front ones. I want new alloys too since has soacers now which I dont like and just has original wheels sprayed black on 225/45 I think there original size too. So her my pics.

To be honest I not had it two weeks not sure whats been done, as I know its been remapped and has a induction kit has uprated suspension and has got an essential metal sump guard. And I just fitted hids but want to get a heigh beam set also, im wanting a exhaust system but a reasonably priced one but they all seam to wacky money

Some may not like my tip but I wanted it simple but different to what every Leon owner wants.

A small update bonnet bra is gone, sent back since was not happy with the quality.
Today i had a mad fix it day. needed to service the car. And recently i recieved powerflex dogbone mount and wishbone rear mounts through the post. Was a fun but long winded job to do them both.
First problem was when taking the anti-rolebar link off the bolt snapped while undoing it so had to get a new bolt and take out the old one.

Once i took off the other side anti-rolebar link i noticed it was hard to take off, once i eventually got it out i noticed it was bent, have a look at it sitting beside a new bolt, probably why the other side snapped. i wonder if its because the car is lowered that they bent.
