New Leon FR - Chuffed To Bits

[Pummy]

Looks nice and clean. Wheels look really nice on that.

 

[Dawg Primo]

By the way did you specify that you wanted the mirrors black as an option or what as they're normally silver right?

Yup, they are normally silver. Had to do the same as with the wheels, order FR with standard silver wing mirror covers and then get them changed to black at the dealer.

Only down side is the huge box of standard kit I have got left over, alloys, wing mirror covers and front grille.

But would I do it again, yeah course I would, just look at it.

Have fun keeping the white clean, I end up washing bits time and time again just to keep it looking perfect. Think I might have SEAT OCD

I know what you mean!?!?!?!?! Washed once a week every week minimum, whatever the weather, neighbours lookin at me strangely washing car in rain, but can't help me self.

But I have to say that white seems to stay lookin clean for much longer than I thought it would, it's the black alloys that seem to look dirty very quickly, maybe thats because they have a gloss finish, but the gloss finish does make them easier to clean.

[David Thompson]

very sexy! how would i go about getting rear spoiler like yours?

 

[stevesulsh]

Delighted

Collected 08FR at last on Friday drove up to Newry for the shopping (the Missis) and back just getting used to it love it to bits great performance !!!!! some fine tuning with seat position and steering wheel to be done and have to find my way round the settings (how do I make the mirrors fold in when locking car with the remote?) lots of time for that off out again tomorrow for more fun

 

[David Thompson]

not sure if the mirrors fold back using the remote. i know mine does not. have to turn the switch on centre console before getting out. would be handy to know the trick if there is one?

enjoy!

Dave, when you go to lock the car, press the lock button on the remote and keep it pressed for a few seconds till the mirrors begin to move. This will also close the windows if open and the sunroof if you have that too..........

 

[David Thompson]

Ah Brill! Thanks that has made my night now. I did wonder. will try the windows tomorrow.
Cheers!!

Another point to note Dave, about the mirror switch "inside the car" if it is in the centre position then the heating elements are on continuous. Best left in either left or right position. Also if its in the right position it will adjust both mirrors at the same time when moving the toggle (up/down etc) in the left position only the left will adjust........ Good luck

Dam thats a lovely example, I want to change my black to a nice candy white one

You know you want to get the lower middle part of the front bumper done in black, you know it's the way forward Cupra looking or not that isn't a bad thing.

Before...

After...

 

[David Thompson]

thanks for that to. I thought that having switch in the centre was when selected on dash it would de mist/ice the mirrors? but if it stays in all the time then will just have to leave switch to the L position.

Thanks again

Get one from your local dealer part of the BTCC body kit, can buy on it's own.

Already had the bumper behind the front number plate painted black, should be white on std FR, never thought about the very bottom of the grille, good idea.
No harm in taking styling cues from the Cupra, good to custom your car to your tastes.

only when the rear screen heater is on.

 

[Dawg Primo]

only when the rear screen heater is on.

That's exactly what I thought and what dealer told me on collection.

 

[stevesulsh]

Thanks for the info on the mirrors guys will try it out tomorrow will put some pics of mine up as soon as possible all standard for now but lots of ideas
