Well the car has gone from standard looking to pretty much how i want it to look in the space of around 4 days!

My coilovers got delivered last monday along with 25mm H&R spacers

My mate fitted them on the monday night, 25mm spacers were too wide, so swapped with mates 15mm

The car was unbelieveably low when picked it up, raised it up on and carbon wrapped front S badge on the tuesday

Dewipered and removed 'Cupra R' boot badge on the Thursday

Cleaned Friday

Pressed plates and stickers fitted after VW Fest on sunday ... So pleased with the way it looks now, looks like a Leon should :D

Looks nice mate, you've tempted me to de wiper instead of getting a fabia / polo wiper.

Only think I don't like is the wheel *****s sticker, should only be aloud when you have a nice set of euro rims ;)

That looks mint so low at the rear you getting any rubbing ? Can't wait to get my coilovers and new wheels , I had a wheel *****s sticker there but removed it along with all the other badges

Yeah its perfect on the rear like! I get a little bit of rubbing when hit big bumps but it doesnt bother me tbh :) would be no good for track or anything, but i use it solely for looks tbh, not to fussed bout the power anymore!

thay drop looks spot on mate. well done!

Thanks buddy :) gunna drop the front a little more as said
