TDI Ref Sport with bodykit

[willisthm]

Anyone know if Seat are doing deals with this spec. I heard that they were doing this model with the full BTCC bodykit as a 2.0 TDI Reference Sport for under 16k.

I have my 2005 TDI FR to trade in - plat grey, FSK arm rest etc 13k miles and was wondering what a dealer would offer me in part ex - any ideas.
Cheers

But why downgrade?

 

[willisthm]

Is it really that much of a downgrade?
My car will depreciate fast and was thinking of a 1 year old FR or a new 2.0 TDI Ref Sport with the kit.

 

[DanGB]

oh sorry, i somehow thought your TDI FR was the New Leon!

Picked mine up on Tuesday. Got another dealer to check if any others around and he said that there were none left. This may change he said if some dealers dont sell their's they will brcome free stock for any dealer to sell.

I'm happy with mine. Traded in LCR for it.

We sold our last one today. Trying to see if anyone else has any that they can't sell!!

well I think its a downgrade in terms of looks exterior and interior wise, The engine and mechanics of course are superior.

I do like the new FR though.

I am seriously thinking about going from a 53 TDI SE Leon to on of these.

For me the looks are much better than the standard model, but the interior is a little plain....

Got a test drive early this coming week.

I bought my Reference Sport with the BTCC kit just over a week ago now......and lovin' it.

I bought mines from W Livingstone in Uddingston, Glasgow where they had a red one in the showroom last Wednesday. Not sure if it's still there though as they are attracting a lot of attention. The owner of the dealers told me that there are only 300 in the UK with the kit and wheels as standard.

Good luck!

How can anyone think that the new leon is nicer looking than the old one ?

THe old one was aggressive & mean looking, the new one looks like the back of Vanessa Feltz.


Aint seen the pics of the one with the bodykit though - got any links ?

All you guys that have the ref sport with kit can you check if you got nut caps on the wheels as I dont have them on mine but have had them on my last two Leons. Thanks

 

[willisthm]

cheers for the info lads - what price have you all paid for yours?

I disagree. The Old Cupra R was aggresive yes, but also dated now. Look at the picture below.. is that not aggressive?

 

[begbie]

no nut caps on my ref sport with kit. Will be very disappointed with the dealer if someone does have them!

 

[begbie]

i think the new Leon looks aggressive - I agree, not as aggressive as the Leon of old but still aggressive:

Nut caps?

You don't get them for the optional 18's

I agree, the old leon, to me, is now in the realms of old astra in terms of dated designs, no offence, i used to have one and loved it, but now.......

TDI PEP any chance of some pictures of your car as i`ve ordrered an fr in zenith grey with the bodykit but cant find any pictures of it in that colour.

 

[Fishy]

The standard new shape leon is crap imho, the body kit being added to this limited edition should be put on the cupra as standard.

PS. I bought mine today and will collect it on Sat.

Will get some pics up in the morning before going on hols..
