My first Seat - Leon 1.8t Sport pics

[kineticz]

Hey all,
I originally bought the car as a Cat D stolen recovered.

Now for the pics!

Damaged alloy




Bumper removed, fillered, smoothed down, primered




My handy compressor

And now for the finished pics















Thanks for looking and advice/comments welcome

Good work with putting it back on the road.

Most threads get very few comments, compared to the number of times viewed.

 

[Mylo]

very nice

Never seen that colour before, like it a lot.

 

[AdamRoutley]

very well done bro, and cheap as chips too!!

hay, don't beat yourself up

you got a sweet looking ride, love the colour (take it, it's not original??)

have you got any other plans for mods?????

Stu

 

[kineticz]

lol that's more like it!

I mainly hope for replies with ideas and advice

But yeah the colour is a one off, no idea how it got that way lol! Whoever did it did a perfect job - all the inside of the arches, doors, engine bay are they same colour! Must have been very expensive.

I have a big green cotton air filter to go on, ordered a Bailey DV30, plan to get a rear spoiler, 6000k HIDs, eventually a LCR front bumper as they look so nice yet subtle but are expensive. I'm a big audio enthusiast so will been installing a sound system in september

It's not often I like lexus tail lights but these came with the car and actually look good on it imo

 

[StuPDi]

i'll second the "not often liking lexus lights"
but some cars and colour combo's look good

i put them on mine because i wanted the silver/black contrast, but hey - most people don't like them, and call them chavvy
it doesn't bother me what others think, it's my car and i like to be different

Exactly mate. Got any pics of your car?

 

[daz_cymru]

alright mate,

the cars looking good ...kinda where i wanna go lol

you should get a fabia rear wiper and lcr splitter on there mate if you want my advice

fabia rear wiper:

ive got an lcr splitter in the garage but dont want to fit it till i get the colour coding done

also a civic aerial would look alot better

dam...those lights are fooooking horrendous lol

burn them!!!......now

other than that

nice one

 

[BCM]

Looks pretty good mate, under £2k for the lot too!
You pay that for a Corsa the same age!
Not keen on the back lights, but never been a Lexus light fan.
Good show, keep it up!

 

[Reuvers]

hey like the car. Expect as most others not at a ll a fan of the lexus lights. Great deal on the car though for that moneyt you can never complain.

Wondering what kind of spoiler you wanna put on the back?

Question, maybe I am seeing it wrong but doesn't the leon 1.8t have discs on the back as well? seems like you don't have them? Or am I just not seeing them?

 

[daz_cymru]

looks like rear discs to me


daz

 

[kineticz]

lol yeah of course it has discs on the rear, albeit smaller ones than the front.

I was thinking of getting a LCR splitter but do you think it would suit my standard bumper?

Many thanks for the advice

 

[daz_cymru]

yeh it looks alot better with one on have a look at jimski's one its only subbtle but makes a difference imo

hopefully mine will look like that tomorrow

[kineticz]
