Liams Mk2 Leon - Low and Slow

[LJHIZZLE]

Hi guys, jumped ship from a Volkswagen Lupo Gti a few months ago to my Leon 1.9Tdi Stylance. Not seen many of these on here being modified so hopefully I have one of the nicer low and slows!




Modifications so far:
-Heko Wind Deflectors - Im very happy with mine, there has been alot of speculation on here about whether or not they are healthy for your car. But after faffing around repositioning the retaining clips for the deflectors and positioning them towards each end of the window frame, the window is barely touching the deflectors when it's fully closed. Therefore i would recommend this product provided you fit them properly!

-Richbrook Car Mats (recommended in Performance VW magazine and they are great!)


-BBS Supercopa Edition Wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres


Sealed up with Autobrite Very Berry wheel sealant. AMAZING product. A little bit goes a long way, i spent the best part of two hours, cleaning the wheels for prep, then wiping them down with a clean cloth, and then applying the sealant with a pad wheel by wheel and allowing to dry for at least 30 mins per wheel. Then jumping back in and polishing off with a fibrous cloth until the metal feels super slippery to the touch. Then try pouring water on them!


How It looks now..


Ongoing Plans :
Currently in the process of getting a quote off Pete McGinley from PSI Tuning Stoke on Trent for a good set of coilovers and a Remap, Hopefully to take me over 130bhp.
I'd have had a quicker leon if money would have allowed. But with IBIZA this summer (jackpot) and me enjoying travelling to anywhere to listen to good house music, i just couldn't afford.
Also debating whether to install my Pioneer AVH-X3500DAB Double din beast. Apparently its harder than id like it to be, if anyone has any advice on installing a double din it would be much appreciated Thanks for reading guys, Liam. More updates when i've bought my coilovers. (any idea which ones are best?)

Update for you all, finally got my Coilovers fitted. Wasn't as easy as id'd imagined without the use of a ramp, had a big problem with the ball joints spinning when trying to get them off the coilover struts.I couldn't get enough pressure underneath them to stop them from spinning when taking the nut off the bolt. Therefore this set me back a few weeks till could get the use of a ramp. Then once i had them off and the new ones were going on i found that unfortuantely i had been sent the cupra coilovers, with a wider strut diameter at the bottom. NIGHTMARE. Anyway, a few weeks on and they're now on. And this is how it was sitting when i left my car yesterday afternoon. I'l take some more photos soon when the springs should have settled and pulled the car a little lower

That's really nice, quite subtle ... maybe debadge of the boot?

 

[Daniel M]

Coming on nicely mate. Which coilovers did you go for?

I would get a smaller ariel and maybe some smoked repeaters. Black grille surround would suit it too.

 

[L8W FR]

Looks good buddy, what size are the wheels?

 

[kevlaa]

I have a 08 1.9 altea stylance and am most definitely buying the supercopa wheels they look great, good job

Thanks guys. I think i will definitely debadge the boot and get a stubby ariel. I'm not sure about the black grille surround, with having polished wheels and clear headlights and fog lights.
My budget was £500 for coilovers, so i went for ap. And honestly i cant fault them, they're abit bouncy but what do you expect when you wind a coilover all the way down?! haha.
The wheels are 18's, and yeah, they suit most SEATs. Let me know when you've got them on bro! Or if you're around the stoke on trent/crewe area you can try fitting mine first too see what you think!

 

[LJHIZZLE]

Diamond Car Wash in Tunstall Stoke on Trent really are good!

 

[LJHIZZLE]

So this morning I fitted my new pressed plates and stubby ariel. These subtle modifications make such a big difference to the car, I'm very happy with how my car is looking now.
I think a rear wiper delete and debadging of the boot is next. Followed by a milltek non-res, and map.


(no telephone mast from the roof anymore! hahaha)

Looks tidy mate! Stubby ariels looks so much better. Get the debadge done looks load cleaner when done. Didn't know they did a Milltek system for the 1.9tdi?

Oh man ive just checked and they dont! You're right dude, i'm sure i've seen on a thread in here though a tdi with a miltek!?

 

[Never2old]

Just get one made up

 

[ECB]

Can't remember who but someone said about a backbox delete and how it made the car feel much more responsive. Fairly sure you could get one made up pretty cheap.

I've done a back box delete, not expensive either

 

[LJHIZZLE]
