ChrisLindsay's 08 Seat Leon Cupra **UPDATE**

[Lumby]

Mate this looks awesome! nice work.

Looks so good...clean and smooth.
How about painting the brake calipers in blue?

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Thanks guys!

Im going to do the calipers like a matt black, maybe crinkle effect. Then im getting the caliper clips from an S3, painting them a gloss graphite metallic and then placing a black or white Cupra decal on top

Black is always classy...i did mine on satin black, suits nice with the emocion red body.

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Yea it will tie in with my splitter and not look as tacky as the red. Simple and clean

Wee snap post wash earlier

Chris

compared to the earlier pics that is a total transformation
how do you find speed bumps now the cars lowered and splitter fitted? I lowered my 1st car a lil corsa and the speed bumps were a nightmare and that wasn't even a big drop 25mm I think maybe 20mm
noticed your from northern Ireland if your up the Ballymena way ull have 2 give me a shout sometime

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Will do mate, actually just PM'd you

Guys I need an intake ASAP and fuel pump internals ... anyone looking rid?

 

[big eck]

Have a look on mk5gti owners for the bits you need bud.

 

[B5NGV]

Loving your work. Are you happy with the 15mm rear and 10mm front spacing?

 

[Gracey]

Liking the new photos chris, hurry up and get an intake and get stage 2

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Been ages since I last updated ...

Ok Milltek will be on its way to me ASAP.

Anyways ive painted the red calipers which were really annoying me, they are now satin black with graphite grey S3 caliper clips and CUPRA decal Very pleased:

Then I ordered my Revo Intake, no pictures yet but it arrived just in time for the Titanic Dubs show over here in Belfast. I was on the Performance360 stand (REVO Stand)

Next up:

New discs and pads
Milltek Cat back to arrive so I can fit my full TBE
Autotech fuel pump internals
Stage 2+ map

After that I should have my track car by then, nothing big just a Saxo VTS or 106 GTi, so the majority of my free cash will be going into that to get it track ready for March

Thanks,

Chris

Looks good. Was supposed to go to that show with the Scottish Vag lot but things cropped up so missed it. What discs and pads did you go for???

 

[jake]

Lovely colour this dude. Nice attention to detail to

 

[spearce]

This is one of the nicest leons I've ever seen. That blue is awesome!!

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Thanks a lot guys, I plan to have it a good while, and I've never said that or did that with any of my cars in the past lol

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Ok its been a while since I updated this thread.

Ill start with a list of everything ive fitted etc up until this point:

> 4x Dunlop Sport SP01 tyres
> Milltek Cat Back Exhaust system
> Magnex Downpipe/Decat
> Auto Tech HPFP
> Linea R Grill
> REVO Stage 2+ Software

After a well deserved wash yesturday, seeing as I was off for St Paddys day.

Its a completely different beast now with the new software. Only gripe is getting the power down in 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd. lol Might have to look into diff in the future.

Next up Eurojet FMIC and possbily the new Triple R rear diffuser.

Thanks,

Chris

Well after a year (longest time ive owned any one car) that itch has developed for a new car.

So the car will be for sale next month, probably stock with a stage 1 map.

Spread the word folks! For sale ad to follow!

 

[Gracey]

Sad to hear, lovely car! What you thinking of next?
Could you not have waited until August or something till I had some money set aside for the intake/hpfp!lol

 

[ChrisLindsay]

Sorry dude... You can have first dibs on whatever you want though.

I'm going for an SL500

 

[Daniel M]

Shame you're selling mate. It's a lovely example.

Might be interested in the splitter if you are stripping it to standard.
