Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
was a bit warey of the S line badge when you said at the start but its not too bad on its own on the grille.
still needs lowering though
Yeah, I know what you mean about the badge.
I didn't want anything too lairy but I think the smaller modified badge is just right.
I hear ya about the lowering too!!!
That's next I think.
The next batch of mods to the Leon are probably the most expensive, but probably the best ones for me.
First up is the suspension.
I've heard good things about Koni FSD's & I knew that I would have to match up dampers if I wanted a drop of around 30mm. The Eibach Pro Kit springs are a perfect match & day to day driving seems to have improved dramatically.
Smaller bumps are soaked up effortlessly (something that the OEM SEAT Sport suspension didn't do well) & potholes & speed bumps don't rattle my fillings anymore.
The springs probably need a few miles to settle down, as the drop is more like 20mm at the moment.
Next up are the alloys.
I've been debating a while on what style & size of alloys I wanted. New RS4's & RS6's have been top of the list, but I was undecided on whether to go for 18" or 19".
One day, when I was coming home from work, I saw an Audi A8 with these 5 spokes that reminded me of TT Comps (some of you will remember my Fabia vRS with TT Comps, Gawd bless it!!).
I've always had a soft spot for 5 spokes, maybe it's the simplicity of them.
These particular 5 spokes are pretty rare & not many come up for sale. Luckily, I saw these within a few days of looking & swiftly grabbed them.
They're Audi A8 Parabols, 8.5"x18" ET45 & they fill the arches really, really well.
I actually got these with the correct size tyres for the Leon (225/40 ZR18 Yokohama S306). Got them for a bargain price too, considering how rare they are.
Anyway, heres the pics.

Good point Stew. Will do when I can get round to it.
Fitted the MY08 Cupra grille yesterday & it looks miles better. However, I have another plan for the grille which I'm going to try later on.
I'll keep you all posted.
