Stripped out Leon?

[vee_dub_modder]

Hi all

I'm awaiting the arrival of some "rather special" bucket seats and wondered if i should strip the Leons interior out and fit a cage??? i've done this to almost every car i've owned but i'm in 2 minds as to what to do with my first 4 door lol

all opinioins welcome!

Has anyone done this on the forum and has anyone got any picy's?

There is a few stripped out leons mine has all the rear interior out

Willie has all of his out maybe ask him for some pics he is making a track car.

As above mine is stripped as much as I can just now.
Next big stripping step is perspex/polycarbonate windows to allow the door panels to be removed.
I'll be fitting a cage to my motor over the winter months.
Do it!!!
Why break the habit

I wouldent strip the leon as i need the space/seats but i did it to my old 182 clio and it makes quite a diffrence, wont make you go faster, might have a better throttle response and it will lget through the gears quicker, also not sure on the leon but it used to shake its arse under hard braking and cornering is excelent.

It will make you go faster.
I did 14.4 sec on 1/4 mile with a 210 BHP stripped LCR

Faster to me is top end speed, quicker is accelration which is what i said
