Silly question and you have probs stated already.
What you do with the rear door handles ?
Do they just pop open now or...

doors open from the inside now.

on the same subject as handles,

i added a 5mm white led to the door handles that come on when the interior light does, ie when ou unlock they come on, key in and start the car they fade off, then back on when you take the key out,

i like this mod and i think its another first.

thats a good little mod especially handy when you park in dark countryside. how are they mounted then? are they the little led strips you can get?

 

[D.K]

no 1 single led on the front corner, carefully drilled in to it to thread the wire through.

That is a proper cool mod, fair play to you.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BELTER OF A CAR!! FANTASTIC!!

white should have been a standard colour when the cupra r was released along with imperial blue of the pre facelift cupra.

i completely agree. I have a pre facelift imperial blue cupra and would love to see it with R bumpers and looking fresh. would look amazing.

Rick, what can i say. unbelievable. looks awesome in every way (except maybe max power interior...each to there own!)

always wanted to do mine in white, but think i may go imperial blue now. or ST orange. or gt3 green. hmmm....!

Dude car looking mint, much much better in the white. contacted u a while back reguarding the smoothed boot, mines all done now! works well , but i can not find a passat boot button anywhere! currently using a fiesta mk3 button same size but has no red led built in.
How the hell do you run it that low?? mine is on air and heres my ground clearance!

The led's look mint how did you run the wires?? i'm guessing the led's are on the door side and not in the handle itself??

thanks for the comments,

not found a boot switch yet either, but i havnt really got round to that anyway, ill let you know if i find one.

i run it low to try to proove a point that air is not always the answer, fair play if you have it but as you can see it still drives, and its not a garage queen either,

the handle lights are in the handle itself, ill post some pics up when i get back from germany so people can see how its done and copy it for themselves, as imo think its very trick at night.


loads more planned so keep an eye out for hopefully some more firsts on the leon

Regards

Rick, Brilliant mod with the light - Thats a very bright idea you've come up with there!

Car is looking tip top matey. Any shows planned?

 

[EmDee]

Bet that mod is a lot easier when you've only got two door handles...

 

[porterbmx]

nic_c_1986, what wheels do you have??

 

[roxie_P]
