Any help?

cheers DamoR, i'd heard someone talking about it at the dealers. A good mod for £6!

 

[DamoR]

Do you know which year of Leon doesn't have this seal?

 

[CASSMAN]

er..no, mine doesn't have it, 55 plater

Pabs site implies that the old cars had it but the new don't:

'Probably one of the most useful modifications to the Cupra is the bonnet seal modification. Earlier cupras came with this already installed, so it is wise to check that’s yours hasn’t already got it before you go any further. It decreases the amount of dirt, water and rubbish that get into the engine bay.'

Mine's an 04MY so I will check when it arrives.

I deffo don't have it, i've had 3 lcr's in the last 2 years and none have had it.

EH? 3 lcr's in 2 years? WTF is that all about?

I got told the newer LCRs don't need one. Hence they were not included. The bonnet is pretty sealed when shut. I'm not sure though this was from the dealers mouth and I'm sure they would have still let me buy one.

mine is a 2006 model, but it may have been manufactured in 2005.

Mine was a 2001 and it didn't have it. Has now tho.
Keeps it a bit cleaner under the hood...

The bonnet seal was discontinued on all Leons built from March 2001 onwards

Mines a 2004 and doesnt have it! My engine bay could be cleaner too so I'm going to purchase one. Is the dealer the only place to purchase one of these?
