Looks nice. and the colour...*drool*

I'm not sure I'd do it with my FL, but maybe one day :). Always good to see one with it done before you plunge, eh?

Good job fella! +1

Haha cheers mate (if you're talking about me)... I was originally not keen on a yellow car and fancied the Emocion Red but I saw this at the stealer and immediately liked it... I thought it would be a washed out yellow by their pictures but to my delight it wasn't!!

Now love it, even if others don't haha

Aye mate, I was talking to you! :)
I'd wanted a Leon since way before I could drive (Mk1 Cupra R in yellow, to be precise), and wasnt at all keen on the Mk2 when it came out... but then they grew on me, and despite reeeeeeeeaaaaally wanting a yellow one, I went for the Speed Blue in the end, and I love it :). Still get a bit jealous whenever I see a yellow one driving about though :lol:

I originally wanted a Cupra or Cupra R Mk2 but unfortunately funding/insurance etc changed my mind... can't say I'm disappointed in the FR though as far superior to anything i've driven previously :) Although still wouldn't mind Cupra one day!

I like the speed blue as well!

Yeah, I've had my FL170 for 3 weeks now and I'm well impressed with it! I've wanted to go diesel for a good while, and I'd wanted a Leon since forever, so I finally went for it! I'm certainly far from disappointed :D!

Debadged mine too, much nicer, plus everyone knows what it is - we don't need to advertise! :)

Im on the fence regarding debadging. Don't really mind either way. I always think the Leons look daft thought if a car has the LEON letters removed but then another badge there - I don't get it. Why remove only some of the badges? Each to there own I suppose

Took the LEON off mine but left the FR badge... also vinyl'd the S boot latch with 3M carbon

Wow! Never seen that colour before! I am a definite fan! Looks well de-badged too, but I'm not fond of the carbon S. Like I say though, she's your ride, so if you're happy, it's what matters! :)
Good job fella!

Oh..and I thought de-badging my FL would look a lot different to the pre-FL, and was a bit sceptical, but you've just hit the nail on the head there...I love it!
Thanks!
