Yes you heard it right I am proud to say I own Pre-Facelift MK2 Leon Cupra at 20. You can call me a nutter but life's too short eh?
Owned a LE 1.2 Corsa prior to this, although this is a huge jump I feel in my opinion I am ready for it. I'm not the average typical kinda boy racer who just throw around cars at my age without being able to handle them.
Just to introduce myself my name is Ghulam I am based in West Yorkshire and I bought my Leon ironically on Valentine's Day. It was bought off a friend of mine who cherished the car and he is also a professional valeter/detailer.
I like my cars to look classy and go for subtle modifications nothing too crazy.
The car is completely standard running 240bhp (237 if you're being picky) with no remap etc.
It is currently at 92,500 miles and my main priority is to book it in for a major service. The owner before my friend drove it across Europe and he actually has receipts of work being carried to the car in Germany (even the invoices are printed in German
).
I have made a list of modifications that I would like to make below:
EXTERIOR:
Dechrome Front Grille and Wrap Black
Black Limo Tinted Windows
HEKO Wind Deflectors (still 50/50 with these may remove if it looks chavvy)
Refurbish Wheels and Paint Anthracite
BTCC Rear Roof Spoiler
BTCC Side Skirts
LED Sidelights (Previous Owner has Fitted Xenon's on headlights)
LED Number Plate Lights
Private Plate
Tint Tailights (nothing chavvy)
May consider headlights from Rob on here
TRC Front Splitter
INTERIOR:
LEDs on Interior Lights
Install a Car Stero with Sat Nav
Black with Red Stitching Mats
HANDLING:
Front & Rear Anti-Rollbar
Eibach Sportline or Proline Springs
Pendulum Mount
Thicker ARBs / Whiteline Anti Lift Kit aka WALK
MK2 Audi TT Lower Support Arms
Lower Mount
I will also be taking the car down to get a full restoration in terms of bodywork, the car is 10 years old so obviously its going to have wear and tear picked up over the years. Plan is to restore the car to prestine condition or the correct term would be "Concours Condition" (I can at least give it a go).
As mentioned above handling is my priority as any idiot can drive in a straight line but being able to drive the car through corners and bendy roads is a completely different ball game. Hence why handling is my main priority and maybe sometime in the future I may consider a stage 1 remap.
Will be uploading pictures as the work is carried out, hoping to get most of the exterior done prior to summer starting so can at least attend meets.
Cheers for the read and hope you enjoy the journey with me
