Thanks dude, progress will be slower now, need the car in to have the front drivers wing resprayed die to flaking paint, need to get the car into seats to see about bodywork warranty as the rear arches have little bubbles under the paint, and need to order a TRC front splitter at some point too.
Got new wheels for the leon, sold the cayenne wheels, nothing special but still a little different to the norm
Got tyres fitted, but never gave the car a decent wash, but how she sits now:
Ordered more new tyres as i need a smaller size on the front (more stretch) as the current tyres are causing the car to rest on the bumper mount, also need to have both front wings painted as the porsche wheels have killed them.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.
As for a spoiler im not too keen on the BTCC spoiler, its looks too much of an after thought from Seat, I would prefer something a lot more subtle but still noticeable.
Plans for the car are:
Front arches/ wings/ fender painted
rear arches painted
Shave the offset on the wheels for tuck
BTCC side skirts
Shorter rear struts for more lows
TRC front splitter
and i will be wrapping the bit behind the plate and lower middle of the bumper gloss black too.
All takes time and money, and currently i have neither lol

Its been a while since this was updated.. How the car used to look
Had a fair few issues with my FMIC and boost pipes from darkside who denied it was their fault, or a problem with their kit, yet i have heard a few stories of others having the same issues!
The hard boost pipe.. rubbing off the sump/ block, and the other one is rubbing off the gearbox, i have had to get these repaired and tie them up out the road of anything.
After having it welded (as darkside wanted over £100 for this 1 pipe alone)
On a positive note.. more new wheels!
New 3" Stainless straight through exhaust from the flexi back made by my mate (I supplied the materials and miss counted the last 90 degree bend, so we had to make one up for the time being)
Also bought Brembo 4 Pot brakes to fit under the 20" Bentley wheels
Want to run 355/360mm discs with these to try and fill my 20" bentley wheels, so will see if i can be bothered to fabricate up a mounting bracket (If its needed) and get them refurbished with all new parts and a fresh powder coat
And last but not least... Im currently awaiting a delivery from TRC for the front splitter to match the rear diffuser, next up on the list should be the BTCC side skirts at some point
