Thats the one gav. You got a link the ones that you bought? Just want to have a look at the description, to see if I can get one the same, otherwise will just get the set off wiperblades.co.uk but thats about £25 I think. Cheers

Good stuff What you going for, coilovers?

No I don't need coilovers, I've been looking at the Weitec Ultra GT kits as I've heard good things about them. Think they do them with a 40mm drop which should be about right.

Nice leon dude Nice rims

Thanks

These are the ones Jonathan. The seller is called race..parts, think they actually came from Germany looking at the postage label but they still came pretty quickly.

Cool, that would be ace to see your car for real to compare them

Do you think a 25-30mm drop will be enough? Looking at the kit on DPM Performance it says 40mm drop for "Leon 1M Cupra 1.8T, Cupra R 1.8T, 1.9SDi, 1.9TDi, Cupra 1.9TDi, FR 1.9TDi" so I would have thought it would be 40mm as they specify the kit is for Cupra, FR & Diesel models and have a different kit for 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 models

Hmm yeah interesting, it would be worth checking out if I do decide to get some.

I'm starting to have thoughts of selling the Team Dynamics alloys

I've been looking at old pictures of the standard FR alloys and actually think I prefer the look of them!

Also, since getting a motorbike in the summer I don't really have the money to spend on further mods to the Leon (lowering etc.) and I'm starting to think it looks a bit half finished as it is.

So I'm contemplating going back to the FR rims and putting standard mirror caps back on.

I'm also liking the idea of doing the FR rims anthracite and mirrors black...
