Just brought my first Leon Cupra

[Cobweb]

Went and took a Bronze Leon Cupra for a test drive yesterday and today have given the garage a deposit
They have all the paperwork for the service history but no service book at the moment - hopefully the prvious owner will bring the book in before next weekend whe nI pick it up.
They're also going to do the cambelt which I have asked to do the water pump at the same time if I pay for the part - I've asked for the pump with the metal fitting as that is what I've read on this site is the one to go for. Yes/No?
I would like to say that I am sooooooooo excited - like a kid with a new toy
Will upload pics as and when I have them.
I'm also sure you'll all get to know me over the coming months as I'll be asking for plenty of tips and advice........

might be doing the same, got another 4-5k before its next service; so hopefully it'll wait till early summer time

Yeah Test drive was good, even the wife was pleased, especially with the boot space as this was her only concern!
I also compared the image of the car against one on thissite in the Bronze colour with the Cupra R bodykit - I was pleasantly surprised whe nshe said "that looks much better"
I have found on ebay the front/rear and side kit for £394 with the p&p, then I guess I just have to add on the cost for the spraying along withthe door mouldings.

Is £394 a good price for this?

If it is the fibreglass kit i'd stay well away, many people have had issues with poor fitment and cracking. Try and get a genuine kit from a breakers or similar and have it sprayed to match

Cheers for the advise Danny, will do.
