hi, ive just bought a 2012 leon, obviously the face lift is a difference between the mk2 models, but my question is that, i would like to know if there are any other changes or differences between them. For example if i were to buy alloy wheels, are the wheel fitaments the same as the older mk2?
Also i intend to buy the btcc kit for the car so does the twin exhaust for the older mk2 leon fit the facelift model? maybe im stupid asking these questions but i hope some intelligent person can help me out? thanks

Both cars are the same under the skin. Main differences are dash board, nose and tail of the car - and the new one has huuuuuuuuuuuuge mirrors.

The body kit will be different between your car and a pre 2009 Leon but exhaust should be the same.Depending which model you have, you should consider FR/Cupra bumpers and skirts/spoiler combo and fit the Cupra R rear apron and the Cupra R exhaust ;)

sounds nice, its just that i can pick up a brand new twin outlet exhaust that fits the pre 2009 model for reasonable money so wanted to ask before i purchased,

the rear valance is the same AFAIK but the bumper is different where the lights cut into it due to the lights being a slightly different shape.

front bumper, grill and possibly the lights are different on the new shape too.
