Hi all, this happens to be my first RR although I have owned (and still own) 2 other Mk1 Leons. This being my first decent, presentable car, it deserved it's own thread.

It is a grey 57 plate SEAT Leon 2.0 TFSi FR (200bhp) bought with 56,000 on the clock. This is how she looked when I got her:

After sifting through some of the old MOT certificates I found the name of the previous owner and done the natural thing of adding him on a popular social media site. After a quick chat, he soon informed me that the car had a stage 1 remap and a boost leak at the dump valve, hence the car feeling of normal power. The dump valve was replaced and true to his word the car is now running a minimum of 260bhp (don't know the exact figure). Anyway, here is the specification list and updates will follow in due course.

Specs:

- Powerflow Twin tip back box
- K&N Panel filter
- Stage 1 custom map by Motech - Wellingborough (believed to be between 260-275bhp)
 
Give the car a wash and a polish today. Photography for me is quite a hobby and I was being a bit experimental tonight with some night time photography. Some of the results..

My first personal modifications started today with the private plates going on (feels like my car now) and the instalment of a debadged front mesh grill, undecided on the grill atm, what do you lot think?
