h47kin's mk2 leon!

[h47kin]

hey, i've been a member on here for a while now but only starting to use the forum recently.

anyway here's my leon, probably not up to everyone tastes but haters are welcome to comment too

the car was started by a family friend about 4 years ago and then i took over in 2009

the car in 2009

so first of all i got the car detailed, set the suspension slightly different to suit myself better then i was off the ultimate car show larne

the car pretty much stayed like that for the next few months. I built a temporary sound system and added a few small touches like valve caps, stickers and such

then before the winter of 2010 it was off to coolnights motor show for a UV car display, the photos aren't great but the building looked so well in reality with all the lights switched off

so winter came and potholes destroyed my wheels, literally! so the bent wheels where a good excuse for a refurb and new rubber. so in January with new paint and pirelli pzeros it was time for me to sort the stance out. the old tyres where 235/35 but this time i went for 215/35. This gave me some valuable clearance up and an extra 8mm lower and plenty of room for these out back

and here is the car as it sits now

few more wee things planed for the future but it'l be slow progress from here on

looks alright that, not to my taste, but defo a head turner, keep up the good work !!

i really like it sort of a jap theme! works really well tbh

 

[h47kin]

thanks guys. its just a mixture of loads of different styles tbh, i just try to have fun with it and experiment with different styles such as the jap tow hook and in the end i have a car that is unique from everyone else.

 

[dannyboi321]

its diferent which is a good thing ! good work like the tow eye

 

[h47kin]

ok small update,

came back to find the this a few weeks ago

yes a lovely deep scratch on the bonnet, so while in for a respray i used to opportunity for a bit of modding, so got the rear bumper painted too

I think it breaks it up nicely.

 

[vdawg]

Love it

 

[hakkow]

Looks like one of the best leons (of this model) out there!
They only thing that falls out are the sideskirts, the rest is looking spot on!

 

[h47kin]

small update coming shortly

 

[tyrer]

Not my taste but works, new wheels will make a big change

 

[Smoki333]

Looks nice, rear bumper looks loads better.

 

[dazvessey]

looks good think the wheels on it look better than the new ones you have got but might be totaly diffrent on the car

 

[yellonvi-R]

One thing thats a must.....matching subs needed!

Looks nice not over the top

 

[h47kin]

Wheels are going on for a trial fit tomorrow, they might be to small so could go up for sale again

One thing thats a must.....matching subs needed!

Looks nice not over the top

That sound system set up is long gone...only the alpine one in there for the past year

think it is a bit over the top lol, a cupra kit would suit alot better now imo

 

[jc_boc]

Not bad at all. I also would not go the kit route but it defo is a looker. Always gonna be some haters out there that will damage the car coz they hate the fact that you have something unique.

 

[rosshutchie]

Definitely different. Stands out from the rest of the kitted Leon's around the north. Were abouts in NI are you based?

 

[h47kin]

^^^i'm from donegal but spend most of my time up around belfast

 

[rosshutchie]

Aa ok. That would explain why I don't see you about lol.

 

[nezzi21]

Really liking this, gonna be awesome if you can get it right on those new rims.

 

[h47kin]
