That is awesome! Looks great! 
Height is spot on too, did you set them to the height that was in the manual?

MY 08reg MK2 Leon CUPRA
- Thread starter JCR280
- Start date
looking good, put a few hundred quid aside for the Autotech HPFP aswell. You might aswell add that if you have the BF exhaust system and CAI.
I went for the ITG induction kit. Good bit of kit albeit looks a bit ugly in the cheap enclosure!!
Gonna have a look at my DV to and possibly replace as think my car also losing a few ponies and this could be down to the DV.
Other than that, you may want to add a couple of engine mounts and a WALK to really get the benfit of laying the power down as the current mounts arent that great at preventing eingine/body movement under load.
Nice to see a grey one, good to be different albeit white still looks the best imho

Hilla- cheers mate i had them fitted at a place i use they are SEAT/VAG specialists so they set it all up for me, i told them to set it low! as i knew the KW's are not the lowest coilovers you can buy but i didn't want it to be sitting too low on its arse, i want it to handle nice not scrub and be useless!
invisible-thanks yeh iv just ordered the New DV from SEAT so pick that up tuesday! im going for stage 2 REVO so might do the HPFP at the same time what ones do people use? APR are like £600?
think all the colours are great on the leon but i do love a grey! don't see too many maybe it wasn't a popular colour..
cheers for the feedback an tips, so far im doing my best to choose the right mods at the right time! got wheels next and exhaust fittment then iv got to think about rear bumper almost straight away,then its AMD time!

Mine's getting dropped a bit for in preparation for Trax on Sunday - I'm tracking the car so it shouldn't affect the ride too much. I'm like you really, didn't want the car too low and be useless/ruin handling. But still wanted it to look sweet
A load of people get the Autotech HPFP - I'm not sure which one I'm getting yet - but it'll be soon lol.
Looking forward to seeing your exhaust on

Are you going to trax mate? Wanna have a look over the car!
I'm on a stand with another car club - ExtremeBhp - apparently we've got a good stand space too.
Let me know if you are and I'll pm you my mob number so you can drop me a text if you're there
Thanks as always for the comments,
Hilla-i had to give TRAX a miss as i got up too late this morning after another Bday drink well annoyed tho ;(
Iv also been thinking about my exhaust as you know iv orderd the full blueflame in K1 centre exit spec, but after thinking and looking!! at the rear end i have thought maybe just have it coming out in the "normal" position, saving me having to bodyshop the bumper ect? really can't make my mind up on this as id need to call BF asap and change it.....do you think its going to be worth it for looks alone?

It would cost about £180 to have it cut/fillted and resprayed, since iv had it lowered i want it to look more subtle its looking so nice now the rear is lower to the grownd so i thought id keep the same exhaust position,the exhaust tip will be the same as what i had on my MK1.
Im getting 15mm spacers for the rear too so it will give it a nice wide stance

Yeh sure, il be getting them from awesome gti soon, it needs it,will make it look wider from behind giving it a much nicer stance
Oh and i called and changed my exhaust order to come out in the normal position now and a extra treat i asked them to do me the system without any kind of centre resonator! iv been told the blueflames sound nice on the mk2 being 3" system unlike millys 2.75" but im sure without any resonator added it will sound a treat! it will be running a 200 cell sports cat downpipe as i don't want problems with MOT
just got to wait for friday now thats if it turns up!

Ah dude, I can't wait to hear it! My mate has just bought a BF non-resonated exhaust, downpipe and 100 cell cat for his Mk1 LCR....it sounds great.
I fear that once I've heard yours, I'll be spending more money.

. Cool yeah its really hard not spending money on this car isn't it! its too tempting and with the awesome lump sitting under the hood waiting to deliver near on 360hp its too hard to not!
We both seem to be going down the same very very slippery slop! lol
I will try get a good sound clip up and loads more pics,i have just put the Leon in my garage to get the wheels off so i can take them to be power coated so il get more pics of that by the weekend.
