Body Kits

[Leon Cup R]

Not everybody's cup of tea....but was bored at work so was having a look at some Leon Body kits.

What are peoples comments on the one's I've found on this site

http://www.stxstyling.co.uk/StxStyling/Cars/Seat-Leon-Mk-1-Full-body-kits.1.htm

and which would you go for if you were to get one

 

[markoos]

To be brutally honest,don't like any of them at all-but as you said everybody's tastes are different.Would be a pretty boring place otherwise.

 

[Skii]

'orrible .

None of them look anywhere near as nice as the genuine Cupra R / Facelift/FR bumpers. The last one looks the least hideous but thats not saying much!


edit - then I saw the back end

OH GOD MY EYES HELP ME!!!!!

 

[Guinness]

think they all look gash tbh. my opinion though

 

[rico]

My eyes! My eyes are burning!!

 

[Willie]

Not one of them are real!!??
Only photoshops.....
That would concern me if I was about to buy one
Oh and seriously dodgey photoshops aswell

 

[phoenix]

shocking mate keep it as seat made it, body kits should be thats only my opinion

 

[stuart86]

dont like them

I think modifications on performance cars, body-wise, need to be intelligent.

They need to offer improveed air-flow to FMIC and rads as well as maintaining aerodynamic efficiency.

These kits don't really off that. In fact, they look like air-dams. From a performance view-point, they're highly counter productive. Not to mention expensive.

I think most people grow out of wanting to do this to their car. The LCR and LC Face-lift body-kits are beautifully crafted. They suit the car, they suit the styling and they serve their purpose.

Those kits are a waste of money, in my opinion. I'd rather spend my £££ under the bonnet, as opposed to spending it on stick plastic to it.

ON THE OTHER HAND:

Leon mk2 styling, even on the Cupra, is very tame.. in my opinion.

How do you all feel about this:

 

[Willie]

Very nice
The way it should have been when it came out of the factory

 

[LiCkWiD]

Glad I'm not alone in thinking Ibherdesign's Cupra bodykit for the Leon Mk2 is spot-on. As aggressive as it is, it still somehow manages to not have me shying away from over-done styling.

Very well designed kit.

 

[Leon Cup R]

Agreed - think that is the best there by a mile.

but maybe too aggressive

 

[Lee Cupra R]

That mk2 kit is nice but is it just me or does it shout Alfa at you ??

 

[LiCkWiD]

Yeh, I can see where you're coming from.

But is that a bad thing? Alfa styline, i.e. the Brera is awesome. Shame about their reliability..

 

[Lee Cupra R]

Not a bad thing at all i looked at getting the brera but could not quite strech the budget that high so got the lcr

 

[LiCkWiD]

I was looking at them today, eerily enough :S Something alluring about a 3.2 V6 24v spider.... £99 a month insurance, F/C. Couldn't believe it!!

 

[Lee Cupra R]

Did you take it out, such a touring car

 

[LiCkWiD]

No, I didn't :< I was so soddin' tempted, so so so tempted!

If I change jobs soon, I'll be either part-exing my LC for an LCR or moving to a Brera. They just ooze road presence.

Did you take yours out? Thoughts and feelings?

 

[Skorchio]

There all Horrible. You just dont get a better looking kit than the LCR kit. Seat really did just get it SPOT ON

 

[oldman]

that mk2 kit has such wide wheel arch extensions, you'd need a wide load sign on the back.
a few of the mk1 from link were ok, but prefer the oem as hard but soft
