A world first for an LCR splitter?

[Leon.SJ]

A word of explanation first - my car is not a Cupra, indeed it doesn't have a turbo of any sort at all! As such, I'm reluctant to build a Cupra replica (bumpers/wheels/skirts etc) as all the Saxo/Corsa boys round here will want to race. But, like most of you guys, I am a petrolhead and want my car to stand out from the crowd. Not copying a Cupra leaves me with few options really, and I do want a more subtle look than those horrid ebay bodykits we've all seen! So having stuck an LCR splitter on the front a few months ago, I've been trying to think of something to finish off the rear bumper too, when I had a brain wave: another LCR splitter!

So I finally got round to getting another one this week, and fitted it today. Needless to say, it was a complete pain in the ar$e, and my hands are suitably damaged, but I think it was worth the effort. I'm not totally pleased with the side-on view, but from behind (the angle said Saxo/Corsa boys will be seeing!) it looks spot on. Let me know what you guys think, all comments appreciated.

And before you all say it, YES there will be some serious de-badging going on this weekend!!

hi mate, it doesnt look that bad, but i'd not do it. But its your car and you can do what you want. if you like it then its ok. i've got an LCR front splitter but im keeping the back smooth.

I got sum lowering springs that other day and there gonna be fitted, well they were untill the clutch went! Seat wanted about £400 to fit one, and the cheapest price i got for having one fitted was £225 - screw that so ive bought one at £95 and me and my dad are gonna fit it. hopefully today cos i hate not having my car!

That's something that might need to be body coloured and wouldn't look so out of place if the bump strips were too - if you ask nicely someone might photoshop it for you - i think it looks ok as it is but would maybe look better if it was done as above

very very gay,

No need to sugar coat is Jase

Doesn't look quite right to me, but so long as you like it thats all that matters.

I've seen that done on an Ibiza before, but not a Leon - not my cup of tea i'm afraid

 

[Havok316]

nah sorry mate doesnt look right

 

[name__taken]

Looks a bit strange to me but I don't think it's all that bad. Besides you never know when you'll need more downforce in reverse!

 

[stuart86]

i think colour coding the rub stips would have been a better idea, sorry not my cup of tea

 

[CupraMVR]

I think it looks good sumthing different and if u gonna paint it red look better it probs add +10 BHP aswell

 

[Phil K]

yeah.. not doing it for me either... why not get some lexus lights to finish it off

(sorry )

 

[daveyonthemove]

Less chance of catching it on the kerb i suppose, but still very wrong IMO.
But if your happy with it, then ignore my response

this whole thing with spoilers and big bumpers is about gettin the car to have a lower profile, so it sits closer to the ground. I have an LCR, but if I had a Leon without bigger bumpers I would invest in some coilovers. That way the car will look lower and no no need for all this kind of going on.

Sorry mate, IMO not my cup of tea, take it off and get the car dropeed!!

Mmmm, its not that bad but its still a no, wouldn't be my next mod on my car, but each to their own! Enjoy!

[si-mate]

Er, mate, that's supposed to go on the opposite side of the car. Even over here!
