Picked up this red Leon cupra r from a friend
Work as a painter so more than likely will plan to respray at some stage maybe in the brighter OEM red rojo emotion front bumper hilariously off colour and paintwork flaking roof/bonnet and generally a little rough here and there fairly straight however
84k miles 3 owners bone stock
Will update if any curiosity



Pics from when I got it

Wheels are knackered and badly curbed starting to refurb them found two buckled so painted the fronts for now and searched out 2 replacements

With new centre caps and ready to be fitted
Trying to keep a very oem look but went slightly darker with the wheels but nothing to crazy

Bushes were buggered (normal stuff for these rear bushes) got a set of tt lower arms with polybush in and ordered new stretch bolts for the arms hopefully should make a good difference just need to clean them up

Cambelt kit with waterpump and tensioners ready to go on by someone more qualifyed than me, picked up a new dogbone mount and bolt set also as I've heard new bushes can make a big difference here too
