Leon MK3 1.8TSI SC FR PROJECT

[MK3SC94]

Hi guys.. thought i would start a thread to the never ending project i have in mind...

Will seem dull and boring now as parts still waiting to come from germany but i will build a picture thread of all the progress.. have taken nearly this whole car apart so any questions on parts or tuning or wheels, suspension etc etc.. i can help..


enjoy the thread.. any opinions would be great to hear

Started here


woke up..

Crazy idea to do this..


in betweens..







clubs take over..

Am I right in thinking that you've sprayed the plastic on the rear bumper gloss black? I am considering this along with a diffuser.

I take it you had a blue badge for that disabled space... Lol

Looks good though, nice one mate. Happy tinkering!

Don't know why my old account was connected there..

Out of interest, did you spay the rear yourself? Looking closely at the back, the rear unpainted section looks to be removable, but at the same time the gap around it allows for masking up.

19" wheels and is only 35mm drop.. Coilovers on way for 80mm drop too many adjustments on them though.. Will be interesting setting them up
