I swear I've seen OMP sump guards on fleabay for the leon, but I've just had a look and they're not there anymore

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

On the subject of sump guards, i heard that vw do one for the golf, if they do would it fit a leon sump? also found a site in performance vw that does them, ill find the address and check it out

 

[RickC]

yeah i saw those on the bay, the seller has left ebay now though, they used to sell roll cages for the leon too.

Stunning car think it looks the best in white with the black love the wheels too. Only thing not keen on is the interior but you like it which is the most important thing. You HAVE to come to the National meet!!!

When you had the other rear lights did you buy them aftermarket or did you make them up like that yourself?

LEDs behind the door handle as said fantastic idea would look great ton a black car at night I think!

cheers,

i wouldnt be dissapointed with red, it polishes up so well, not sure how low really but i will have a measure next to a standard one,

wheels are 8s up front and 9.5s on the rear. buy the wheels first then get the adapters as you can measure the size you need by trial fitting them to the hub.

say hi at some of the shows if you see me.

rick, can you let me know how you did your LED's on your handles? I've drilled some holes in my rear bumper to feed two white LED's through to illuminate my rear reg plate (white mk4 golf) and have no idea how to hook them up so they come on with the car lights.

car looks great, big fan of white cars

You can get LED number plate bulbs that replace the standard bulbs which are bright white. That's what i did.

 

[mikey_b]

bliemey lot of effort and changes there, liking the back doors smoothed and the porsche rims

cheers

how do you open the bak doors??

i dont have a stock rear bumper though, so i've only got two led shaped holes to fill rather than the square stock light fitting.

 

[richybigman]

Ahh i see. You should still have the original wiring though for the number plate lights so it should be straight forward to fit LED's?

 

[pekingprawn]

yeah, thats what i'd like to know how to do, fit LED's to the stock wiring - im just a bit useless at electrical stuff

Stunning mk1 mate always wanted to do either a candy white mk1 cupra r or a stain black cupra r but styling looks awfy similar to my mk2 cupra love the porker wheels thou

im working on my mk1 leon now to change it to satin black with possibly satin/matt white wheels

Just read through this rick. Definately the best Leon ive ever seen, if not the best seat, you should be one proud chap.

The attention to detail is undoubtedly the best, like the lighted handle recesses (Saw this originally as an extra on a BMW 3 series ) and well done for doing it on a leon, definately a first, and im sure there'll be many copies, including by myself Where did you splice it into the the loom?
