[sdownie1]

Quality motor mate had my last one lowered with the pro kit and always seemed to be scraping speed bumps,which made me think to leave my new one alone suspension wise, but after seeing yours how you getting on with the sportlines v speed bumps

A vote for skirts here.

On another note, the guy who was pencilled in to get the LCR Milltek designed on his car went on hols. There is therefore an opportunity for you to get it done on yours instead

Al
what was the cost of purchasing and fitting of the black spoiler addy or did you get it done when new ?

I'm not to sure on the skirts Al, i just think the level lines are sacrified......on the Milltek note how long do u think they would need the car for and who would i need to talk to??

It looks good in real life. The car looks "skinny" without them in my opinion, but the Aero bumpers ruin the car in my opinion although the depth at the front of the Aero bumper does match the skirts on the side better.

Maybe the compromise is no skirts -really up to the individual I guess.

Can't remember about detail of my spoiler.

Will send a pm about the Milltek.

Al,

looks like you have mud flaps at the back, can i ask are they Seat OEM type? Reason being, i requested front and back flaps to be fitted to my R before i collected it recently and the dealership said they dont fit cupra R (I think it also states this on Seat UK site as well). I would assume that the Cupra / R are identical in terms of fitting flaps?

Any chance of a close up of the rear flaps. I had these on my pre FL FR no probs... (PS: car looks mint, i love the skirts but had a nightmare with these on old car, so once bitten)

Anyone else got OEM flaps on a Mk2 Cupra R?

Sorry to hijack yer thread Craig!!!

[Al]

Yeah they are OEM flaps and will fit as the bumper is the same on the Cupra R as it is on the Cupra.

I'm not a fan of white cars with black wheels but this is one of the best I've seen. Dare I say a fraction too low?

Looks very nice! What springs have you used and how many mm's have you dropped it by?

Its Eibach Sportines suppose to drop it by 20 front and 30 rear on the Cupra/ Cupra R but it does seem a bit lower, but i'm really happy with the result and in my eyes sits perfect....also very good ride quality with these springs.

Nice machines!

 

[Craig D]

Cheers for all the positive comments people.....still a work in progress

 

[cupra_ahhh]

I really like the FL rear end of the Leon, if only the front was deeper. The RS looks so aggressive; it’s a really masculine looking car. I love both, if only the Ford wasn’t smeared with stereotypical chavness.

 

[StealthInspired]

Wonder how the RS would look, with an all Black, Vinyl'ed Bonnet!
Still keep the vents, would complement the other nice Black touches.

Had the car to get the geometry and full fast road setup today and has improved the sharpness in the steering even more.
