Had a quick look around it....just got the basic FR spec seats but i'm really liking the leather bolsters etc and the sunroof seems fantastic (much better than the Ibiza one which just tilted)

I think the black roof and dynamic pack (wheels and mirrors) really sets it off....really can't wait to pick this up now!

Love those wheels, the wing mirrors don't look as chrome as they are advertised on the Seat site, wasn't sure about them but they look ok.

Would like to see some pics of the interior headlining with the sunroof! :)

I really thought long and hard about the upgrade to the machine polished wheels.

However, my experience of a brand new mk5 golf gti which had 2 sets of wheels during my 18 months of ownership really made my mind up.
The machined wheels look great, but once they get a few stonechips on them, the water gets in behind the lacquer and a thing called "whiteworm" starts.
Maybe Seat have sorted this out, but my experience of the Golf put me off so I went for the regular 18s.

Nice car tho eh? Im loving mine. Im on call this week so am running around in the works 4x4. I really need to find an excuse to get the Leon out of the garage and just take her for a spin around the block!

Congrats mate! The black roof really looks terrific. I've been thinking about the sunfroof, just because of that. Don't really see a point in having a sunroof myself, to be honest. But damn, from the outside it looks great!

The sunroof look from the outside really makes it I think...I'll get some pics from the inside when I pick it up in Thursday!

The mirrors are a little darker than those from the previous Ibiza/Leon FRs...the main reason I got the pack really lol...the basic FR alloys just look horrible so they had to go anyway!

It looks freakin amazing, hope to get the call next week to go and pick mine up. The car's been in Sweden for almost two weeks now so I think I could get it next week.

I too was thinking about the sunroof but I ordered my car in black so you wouldnt have noticed it much from the outside so decided skip it but on the red one it really looks great!

What can I say...I love this car already! :love:

It really is excellent...The 1.4tsi really packs quite a bit of punch, particularly when you stick it in sport mode...but its also a surprisingly smooth ride despite the 18inch wheels, much better than I anticipated!

Updating the thread with a few more pics (and a few of the sunroof just for you JK1!)
