Project: Speed Blue MK2 Leon FR - carbon wrapped honeycomb grill fitted

[Chris mk2]

First a brief history of my previous cars:

1st car: Colorado Red Fiesta Zetec

2nd car: MG ZR

3rd car: Fiesta Zetec S Anniversary - Loved this car, 1st brand new car I ever owned

4th car: Focus RS Mk1 - Very quick, brilliant car just not reliable enough

5th car: Honda Civic Type R GT FN2 - Looks great, not enough torque

6th car: Mazda RX8 R3 - outstanding car to drive, absolutley hurrendous on fuel

Any way onto the current project. I sold the Mazda due to needing something better on fuel due to my mileage going up.

I picked up my Leon FR at the begining of August 2010. I was close to buying a candy white manual as I was struggling to find one in the colour I really wanted with a nice spec.

Then with a stroke of luck I found the right car, a Speed Blue Leon FR with a DSG box and the spec I wanted.

2010 Facelift Leon FR 2.0 TDI 170 CR DSG

I will try to keep everything as subtle as possible as I want a near OEM look. Curren plans are:

BTCC (Aero) Side skirts - DONE
BTCC (Aero) Spoiler - DONE
MK2 LCR rear diffuser + Twin central exit exhaust
Gloss black FL Cupra Grille
Eibach Sportline lowering springs - Booked in 09/11/2010
Interior Trim Kit - DONE
Armrest - DONE
Cupra/FR550 Seats
R32/Cupra front Brakes
Roof Wrapped - DONE
Front Bumper "mouth" Wrapped - DONE
Wing Mirrors Wrapped - DONE
Revo Tecknik Map to 211bhp
MK1 LCR Splitter - DONE
HID Upgrade - Kit is in my garage just needs fitting
Seat OEM SAT NAV (Media System)
FL Cupra door pillar covers
19" Rotiform BLQ's

Thats all I can think of for now but I will add more as I go along

First to be fitted were aero kit skirts and spoiler, I had the spoiler painted gloss black to match the wheels.

Then Fitted the interior trim kit along with armrest

Then had the Mirrors, roof and front bumper wrapped

Fitted MK1 LCR Splitter

Having been fed up waiting for the gloss black cupra grille to turn up from Seat ( I ordered it before I picked up the car!) I wrapped the surround in carbon fibre myself. The chrome was offending me and this will do untill the cupra grille turns up.

Car is booked in on tuesday for Lowering!

Looks really good, I actually prefer the carbon fibre look to gloss black.

That looks stunning mate, i think you should wrap the splitter aswell, as from the last picture where it's looking down at the front end, a wrapped splitter would really set it off

Looks really good Chris!

Was the grill hard to wrap? I've wanted to do this for a while now but havn't as I assumed I'd make a royal mess of it!

I remember that ZR from theMGZR.co.uk, loved it. Must be a thing that attracts us MG boys to FRs
