New Leon FR 'with Aero kit'

[m0rk]

Spotted this little beauty at Silverstone (I'd like to say I was sleuthing - but it was given away by it's keeper!)

Apparently the kit is going through homologation for the FR right now.

I'd prefer the std rear bumper but that answers my question last week (in part) looks sweet..........maybe even beter in a silver metallic

When did you find some sunlight today?! I was sat by that car all day and froze my nuts off!

It was lovely later in the afternoon
even took my jacket off for a while, and donned the shades

Got colder when the sun started to drop tho

Photoshopped (joke)

I was just glad when I popped there at about 3ish it was sunny, as the red just glows a lot better

Very nice! I have seen a red one before with the Aero Kit and it does look smart.

Still say the std FR/Cupra bumpers look better.

Never have liked body kits on anything though (all my Golf GTIs have sported the german CL-look)

The aero kit looks really good on that red Leon.

I think I like the 'std' rear more than the aero, but the rest looks cool

Seen one in yellow too - now that's contrasting for the mesh

i dont mind the kit, but the roof spoiler is brutal, looks like an after thought.

I think I prefer the standard FR kit (a bit more subtle). Also the 18" wheels that come as the £350 extra from standard in anthracite give a real nice contrast to the red paint, unlike the silver wheels with the aero kit.

Also the bigger cut out diffuser on the standard rear bumper looks better especially on a red, yellow or silver car.

Stood in front of that while watching the second race, quite impressive in the flesh.

 

[Fidge]

Have seen in the flesh and don't like I'm afraid! Standard looks better!

 

[Syphon]

Nice.

Not too keen on the rear bumper. Read is now top of my list again.

Looks great, i might buy one. i think they should profile the exhaust like the clio 197 - that would look sweet

Exhausts look a little short ....

Shame you cant just get the bottom section and put on a FR rear bumper to get the twin setup without swapping the whole bumper for the aero one.

They are too short and they know, they are getting the exhaust kit adjusted for the FR, this is a prototype for homologation approval, so its ironing out the problems, its why the FR isn't offered with the kit at the moment.

Also looks as it could do with lowering 20mm+. Saw one at BTCC yesterday and it all lokked good other than it could have done with a lower front splitter. Parked next to an LCR the front looked a little too high from the ground.

Hmmm interesting. I've had mine on order for some time, and was told that Seat have been trialling the bodykit for safety standards.

I've ordered the 170TDi FR with bodykit in black, and that will have the exhaust positioned in the centre. The exhaust will the same one used on the new Cupra.

Looking forward to seeing it, pick it up on Friday.
