Well when I bought the car (actually traded it for my second E38 winter car, red one is winter car, blue one is my daily/hobby car at warm time)
At the time I got the Leon, it was very in bad shape.
The first thing, it started leaking coolant badly, and the place little hose was, took me 4 hours to replace that little hose..
Second thing was done, I bought new bumper, and stock version, as from beginning I wanted to keep it as much stock sleeper as I can, thats why I also bought original Seat Toledo conference rims 16" from the VW dealer, instead of some 17-18"
After front bumper was painted and installed I drove the car, but then original intercooler didnt hold the pressure and the bottom flew off. (Top boost was then 1.65bar)
I bought big 3" intercooler, and piping from the usa, because here they are way too expensive, 1x 30-35cm piping 50euros and I needed like 10x.
After front mount install, had to remove almost every bumper reinforcment to fit it.
After that was done, I bought back bumper and rear tail lights.
Everything was done by me, even though I am not mechanic, but I work at workshop.
Final result
The car is Seat Leon Syncro (4WD) 2001 with 187tkm, and an ARY engine, at this moment it have around 300hp, and for me thats enough because it goes like hell 0-100km/h a bit over 5 seconds.
