Very nice this is gonna be a proper nice mk2 mate definitely a Keeper. Will be interested in feeling the clutch engagement after the Bleeder blocks fitted with the clutch as that’s on my list of never ending dream parts.

Just seen this on AKS instagram they also wet blasted my sump before refitting it thats what you call attention to detail. Ive had oil pickup replaced on this before and my Mk1 Cupra and the other garages never done that.

Fair play looks insane. Aks definitely have gone up and beyond my expectations for service it’s nice to see someone who’s actually good at what they do.

Cars all done seriously impressed with AKS tuning. Alex done all the work on it. Needed a new aircon condenser as the old one was falling apart. Also had a slight leak from oil filter housing and Alex fitted one of his spare ones. Clutch feels sweet just gotta bed it in for 300 mile.

Shame I cant get any fuel now lol. Just had to put a tenner of normal unleaded so no booting it anyway.

Not so impressed with AMD when they done oil pickup pipe last year they used silicon instead of the proper sealent. So when Alex took the sump of some of it was still wet so lucky it didn't block pickup pipe. Wont be using them again.

Sorry Ben I didn’t realise I had posted it on your thread I’ve taken it down now my bad.
To say I was devastated is a understatement mate but i wasn’t surprised as I had seen some damaged to something that I couldn’t repair in time for track so I had the mindset it was going to end badly and I’d build it properly.
But you know how much I wanted a nice black mk2 and mine was never a keeper I want one like yours a low mileage keeper.
So If everything goes well I’m picking up my new mk2 black Leon which is already revo stage2+ and is a proper sorted and looked after mk2 off someone on the forum too. It is crazy how much these cars are going for keeping in mind mine was £700 the new one is a lot more but it’s going to be a keeper I’ll be able to make 1 good one out of both cars and be happy at the end of it.
Once I’ve started stripping the yellow one come over if you need any bits of interior or spares let me know.

Oh really sweet thats great news mate. I do like them in black.

Have they gone up in money? Obviously I paid quite strong money for mine due to the mileage on it.

Nice one cheers mate. That would be handy ill sort you some beer tokens.

before lockdown I was looking at one for £2999.00 people are asking more then double now. I’m paying £6000.00 for mine but it is going to be worth it as it’s a looked after car which has everything I did to the yellow one at the start. So I won’t have to do any maintenance at the start I can just swop my box in and all the handling mods etc and it’ll be a nice mk2 and the best thing is it’s black which is the most important thing to me as I have been wishing mine was black for ages. Silver lining. The yellow one isn’t going to be saved it didn’t serve to have this much much money spent onit. But the black one does as it’s a keeper so fingers crossed the deal goes well Friday and I will driving back a stage2* revo tuned 87k mk2 Leon.

Sweet mate fingers crossed you get it and ill have to check it out when I come down. 87k is nice mileage. Its definitely worth paying for a good one.

Im working in Newcastle Under Lyme and ive seen a Cupra and an R in the same day. I go weeks at home and see none lol.
