Morning all,

Hope this is the right place to post, my first time here!

I have a 2015 Leon Cupra Estate 280bhp and would like to ask about some modifications I'm planning on making to the vehicle.

Basically any suggestions on the below and would be good to hear if anyone has done anything similar previously:

- ECU Remap 280-350bhp
- Gearbox Remap (plan to do both remaps HERE)
- Front Splitter
- Side Skirts
- Rear Diffuser
- Potential Exhaust Mod

Still looking for:
- Spoiler lip
- Dry Performance Air Filter (been told this is a good idea to change with the remap, but I'm not sure which would fit my car and which would be the "best"?)

Potential for the near future:
- blacked out roof rails (not sure whether to wrap or paint? I had a quote for wrapping rails but thought it expensive @£250?)
- blacked out roof
- 280 logo debadge
- blacked out SEAT boot handle
- blacked out CUPRA text

If anyone has any advice on the above as this is the first time I am doing anything like this to any car, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks so much.

Its worth having a look at some Reader's Rides build threads. I had a 280 ST so below is the link to my 280 build thread, I didn't do too much to the 280.

Couple of other links too:
