Tim's Leon Cupra R

I think my first mod was removing the L E O N badge from the rear and now look at it

It is a slippery slope isn't it Jay!? lol

I left the Cupra and R badges on as it sets this model apart from the rest for those with an untrained eye.

It's a vertical drop into a bottomless pit, Andy

If you take you time and pick your mods carefully, it's very rewarding thing to do, seeing the car go through changes and feeling them on the road.

Welcome and nice choice

my advice would be.. everyone offers advise on here but there is no right way and wrong way..
just do what you want some people like there cars fresh out the box while others want wooshy valves lol its just trial and error

enjoy

Update on mods so far -

Had new tyres fitted went for the Falken 452's all round had tracking done as well quite a way out!

Fitted my Neuspeed P-Flow kit and Forge 007P DV and what a difference in sound, it sounds amazing now, the P-flow really sucks the air in, what was most amazing was that I actually fitted these myself, now I'm no mechanic and I know these are easy mods but it was a good feeling doing these mods myself, also had new front pads fitted only got OE ones as I want to up rate discs and pads but don't have the cash at the moment.

I also have a Neuspeed Strut Brace to fit (front Upper) but I read somewhere that you need to fit a Rear ARB at the same time? On that point what size Rear ARB to match the R32 Front ARB?

I will get some pics done and put the up soon.

That’s it for now, next mod I want to do is up rated TIP and then Stage 1.

Cheers
Tim.

Yeah was reading about those 2 sizes together - think I'll invest in some, where are you going to get the R32 ARB?

No need to fit them at the same time. I fitted my R32 one first, followed by a 24mm rear Whiteline adjustable ARB.
