So, it's about time I introduced my personal vehicle:
Seat Leon 5F ST Facelift FR
Year of manufacture 2017, 150 hp TSI
A little about me: I'm 38 years old and from beautiful Styria, Austria.
What I've done to the Leon so far:
Retrofit for the assistant camera
Retrofit for the lane change assist
Retrofit for the tow bar
Retrofit for Area View, which was never available from the factory on the 5F Leon.
Retrofit Virtual Cockpit
Retrofit MIB2 Standard Navigation with MOST and DAB+
Retrofit Fabric Trim such as Glove Box, Door Pockets, etc.
Retrofit Skoda Octavia 4VRs Massage Seats.
Retrofit heating rear Seats
Retrofit activ tire pressure
Retrofit Focal Speakers; the vehicle was originally equipped with the Seat sound system, but I'm now very satisfied with the sound quality.
Retrofit Trunk Spare Cargo Area Carpet
Retrofit Seat Leon KL Heated Steering Wheel
Retrofit Door Handle Exterior Lighting (front only)
Retrofit Red OEM Brake Calipers (front and rear)
Retrofit Ateca Rotary Knob for Driving Profile Selection
Retrofit 18" Cupra Cup Wheels
These are some of the major retrofits. Other modifications included:
Chrome Roof Rack replaced with Gloss Black
Gloss Black Rear Bumper Insert
Gloss Black Rieger Diffuser
Second LED Lighting in the Left Side of the Trunk
Rear Seat Upgraded with Illuminated OEM Audi Seatbelt Buckles
Rear Doors Equipped with ambient lighting, controllable via MIB
Rear footwell lighting retrofitted
Ambient lighting extended to the front storage compartment for the mobile phone, as well as the ring around the 12V socket. Additional lighting added to the dashboard.
Climatronic unit replaced with a VW unit due to the white lighting and the ability to activate the steering wheel heating simultaneously with the seat heating.
The steering wheel trim has been painted gloss black; this isn't OEM
Passenger sun visor replaced with a driver's sun visor (UK) to avoid the airbag markings.
Light switch replaced with a white version; this will be implemented throughout the entire vehicle. Red switches will be replaced with white.
Fog light bezels replaced with gloss black ones.
Frameless rearview mirror installed.
Of course, a few projects remain:
Replace front seatbelt buckles with illuminated ones; parts are on order.
Replace grille with OEM Cupra black grille.
Install side skirts, Car White
Install rear spoiler, glossy black
Install OPS 360° with Park Assist. Parts are ready for installation.
Retrofit seatbelt height adjustment; it's inconvenient. I'm quite surprised, especially as a previous Skoda driver...
Yes, that's pretty much it.
A few quick photos, and yes, the vehicle desperately needs a thorough cleaning and maintenance.
