Now I have normally don't like the look of new face lifts but today it's finally dawned on me after seeking the one on the Video and loads on the road today, that the new one is quality, next I wanna see the estate in the showroom.

Hopefully you'll see my new Leon SC FR around the bay soon!

 

[benjones1987]

Sweet their seems to be a nice build up of seats in the bay. Which part you from?

 

[gh2]

Paignton. It always helps having a friendly dealership that always seems to be busy

 

[Matthew FR]

For 75k I bet you can count how many they sell on one hand..
Looks awesome though.

 

[benjones1987]

Who county in Newton?

 

[gh2]

Yes SMC County Garage.

 

[benjones1987]

Steve's the best and the range of cars is massive compared to the garage I first used in reading, got good price for my last 2 cars as they where not in the best conditions.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Loving the video and I would've thought they would base the racer on the 3-door SC not the 5-door unless they have 2 variants

 

[benjones1987]

I think the Leon's only 5-door and he Ibiza is the 3-door! It would have been better in 3 door less weight and would look better!

The Leon SC is 3 door.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

The Leon SC is 3 door.

Yeah it is but the cup racer isn't which is what I was curious about as if you watch the vid and look at pics of it the cup racer is based on the 5-door model

 

[benjones1987]

That's what I ment! The cup racer is 5-door

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Yeah and I was saying I thought it should've been based on the SC

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Lol, just realised arguing with the wrong person all this is aimed at Terryt

 

[terryt]

Lol. I thought you thought the Leon in general only came in 5 doors

 

[benjones1987]

I agree! Some times I wish my Leon had 3 doors but then again I still find it funny no one can see the back door handles! Nice colour though but the Ibiza sc trophy in the dark grey looks good.

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Lol, yeah like the colour of the ibiza but not to keen on the orange highlights and the wheels, maybe white?

 

[benjones1987]

I ment I agree with Craig about seat using their heads to make it like the sc ! i think The mk1 and mk3 Leon's come in 3dr but then again I think I saw a mk2 Cupra in France that was 3dr it was proper nice. The french can be abut ott with mods.
