I know OMP do one, but you can use the audi s3 version too

You need to grind a bit of the passenger side, so it misses the bonnet strut. And also you'll need to drill holes into the strut, as the leon didn't come with any. But apart from that, straight forward fit

Not sure about the grinding bit.. No need on mine.

Thought you had to in order to clear the bonnet lifter? Thats what i've read on here before. i'm sure

I have just recently fitted the S3 brace, had to grind a small piece down, nothing major but from my research on it prior to buying its 50/50 on them needing it.

Paid £35 notes via the Bay of E

I must have got lucky! Just wiggled mine into place, took the bonnet lifting strut off while I fitted it, then replaced afterwards with no issues.

 

[Ronin225]

I had to notch mine too, even with an insane amount of wiggling and progressive verbal abuse it wouldn't go
