Build is probably the wrong word as what I’m going for isn’t that extreme but I thought I’d show off my FR and the changes I’ve made to it since picking it up in January this year.
I bought this 66 plate, 7500 mile 1.4 TSI FR DSG having come from a 330ci BMW - needed to save some money and the BMW wasn’t exactly cheap to keep going. Fun though!!!
I went for the leon as my last job in the motor trade until I left in 2013 was with seat and I had the first leon FR Sc registered on the road in Swindon at the time.
So that’s the day I picked it up (Snows Yeovil supplied - can’t fault them).
Modification number 1 - set of wind deflectors.
Car play followed shortly afterwards.
Then a gloss black wrap behind the front number plate.
Pair of FR badges for the front wings followed.
Followed a week later by a set of DSG paddle extensions.
Carista enabled park pilot, needle sweep, carbon backgrounds on dashboard and infotainment and cornering fogs.
Bit of a pause in proceedings and then out of nowhere a DTUK box turned up (at least that’s what I told the missus!!!). Transformed the car.
A set of replacement gloss black mirror caps is the latest addition. I do have a gloss black front splitter on order as well as replacement washers to get rid of the pathetic streams that currently come out.
It gets washed as often as possible with demon foam, megs shampoo, megs polish and megs quikwax to keep it looking as fresh as possible.
Overall I love it. Only done about 3k miles in it and it’s returning a long term average of about 43mpg - this does rise to over 50mpg on decent runs but it’s mainly used for commuting to and from work daily (about 8 miles a day).
