Nickys 05 Leon Cupra R

[xxNickyxx]

Well, after having the car for a few months, I finally got round to giving the Cupra a good wash and polish

Since the last pictures I put up, I have just tidied up the car - putting on alloy centre caps which were stolen, and new disks and pads all round.

Exhaust is still sitting a bit low, but its solid and not going anywhere so not too worried about it.

Nice clean car Nicky, you should come along to some of the meets some time
Take a look in the Scotland section
Theres a few guys round your way that have come along before

 

[DOLBY]

looking good buddy

 

[milestogo]

Looks very nice. I know what to look out for next time I`m up home, If I see you around I`ll give you a flash.

Umm that doesn`t sound right I ment flash my lights

Yeh, I was hoping to get along to a meet sometime. I have a couple of clients in Aberdeen that I go and see 2 or 3 times a year, so if I can tie that in, I can get paid mileage for the trip!!!

 

[Willie]

Let us know when your coming through and well get one arranged. The www.scottishvag.co.uk has one on a thursday night

 

[Phil K]

SNAP! Looks good! But have you thought about removing the L E O N badge from the rear?


Here's how mine looks... (sorry for the carp pic but it gives you an idea )

 

[Willie]

what this, show us your asses

 

[xxNickyxx]

I must admit, I do like the rear without the LEON badge. Makes it look much cleaner and less cluttered.

lol at Phil's pic - the poor car looks like its trying to take off!!!

 

[Becks]

Are you selling Nicky?

 

[xxNickyxx]

Well, I've put it up for sale to guage interest really. I've fallen for an imported civic type r

Ah! was wondering why you were selling up! Any pics of the "jap crap"? Just out of curiosity obviously

 

[xxNickyxx]

I'm still in two minds, but I have a thing for white cars

 

[Becks]

Ah me too! The white is lovely......

 

[warren_cox]

nooooo!

the Civic is a nice car, particularly the one pictured, but whilst it would give you a real driver thrill when flat out, I peronally think the Leon is the better overall car. Spend a few bob on the Leon, and whilst you may not end up with a screaming VTEC, you can improve your handling / enjoyment factor, and end up with a car that doesn't have to be revved to death to see any torque.

They're good (particularly that version of the Civic), but personally I'd have to go with the Leon unless I was a regular track-dayer.

 

[xxNickyxx]

I know, I've had the CTR v LCR argument many many times!

Theres pros and cons to both cars.............but its white

 

[ikhlaq206]

Just spray your LCR white and you've got best of both worlds!

 

[cap r 225]

if it's a championship model, (the white ctr's usually are) then it will have the added benifit of a diff to be fair! it is rather nice!

 

[xxNickyxx]

hahaha, yeh has crossed my mind to paint the LCR white! Theres a thread on here from a guy who did that and the end result is stunning!

That CTR was sold yesterday........I'm really not impressed, especially as my mum told me today that she would lend me the money to buy it until I sold the LCR

 

[Alex R]

She sold this car to me
will start my own thread soon, its changed a bit since i got it
