My 2003 leon cupra

[Steely]

Only the baby one!, 180 standard, and a credit to the previous owner,

36k on the clocks and immculate head to toe,


Currently getting stupidly involved in the detailing game and gave it a full machine swirl removal and glaze last weekend,

this is the paintwork before the detail. which to be honest was in really good condition,

had it close to 3 months and still loving it!

i'll get some after shot up when i can,!

that looks stunning mate

decent car and camera going by the quality of those pics.

 

[Nev_LCR]

looks spot on that,

any pcs after the big detail??

 

[Steely]

Not as yet,

just going to give it a coat of wax top tomorrow then ill get some pics up, been using it as a guinea pig to be honest, trying different products, up close under certain light the paint wasnt as good as it looked in pics, and had a few light scratches that needed taking out,



i'll get some up tomorrow,

Looks like new! Any tips for keeping it clean under the bonnet?

 

[Steely]

get some real cheap ass cockpit shine, or industrial silicone spray, its far thinner than stuff like back to black so muck doesnt attract to it,

microfibre cloth quick dust over everytime you wash the car,

being honest mines an evening and weekender, got the transit in the week so it rarely sees really bad weather,

 

[Steely]

after pics as requested

I'll be honest, you wont see much of a benefit due to the pics but swirls removed and after detailing pics,

not bad for 6 years old

Wish my paint work looked that good.

Who removed the swirls for you?

 

[Steely]

[Steely]

set up ages ago mate, but its been oem, so now the fun begins, slippery slope!

 

[wayne lcr]

[Steely]

She's got some new shoes, still need time for the springs to settle, it is lowered, give it a few days ill get a few better pics,

but mk1 leon fitted with BBS CH reps, in hyper black 8j x 18 (one of the closest reps ive ever seen to be fair)

Excuse my arse in this pic,

a last pic just showing the difference in spring design, eibach pro kit, really stops the car squating at the back end whilst giving it some beans, keeps the front wheels planted too,

 

[wayne lcr]

[ShizTheBiz]

well since you mentioned it ive subjected her to a day of TLC , oddly it was up for sale before christmas because of circumstances with a new home etc, but ive finally decided to keep it, taxed for another 12 month and to be fair i couldnt find anything condition-wise that could match it,

the OH bought us a new bridge camera for christmas so time to go play, ill upload some pics in the next 60 min

not much else has been done in the last 10 month except try to keep it in the condition i got it,

strange to think ive now had it 3 years and 2 days, still not bored!

 

[Steely]

thats how she stands at the mo, still shines & settled slightly on the pro kit

not bad for 76k and 9 years old
