Purple Leon Cupra R

[RickC]

Any pics of that as i was thinking of how i would get away with not having it.
Did you do the bumper or did you have it done?

it clips onto the bottom lip of the mouth, i made it myself, you will have to remove the top numberplate holder and mesh the grill otherwise there will be a big black plate in the way,

Ah cheers, will have to take the bumper off and have a play i think

painted the callipers yellow as its on the opposite side of the colour wheel to purple, and they were getting shabby too,also everyone has red, purple brembo stickers are on order now

[RickC]

could u blank out the rear plate please

cool pics btw

 

[RobM]

Very nice. Have always said that when the time comes and the Brembo's need a refurb, I'll be going for yellow with blue writing. I think that picture confirms that decision

no they used to be chrome lexus lights now 3D black with custom made LED rings by myself.

now i would love to know how you did it. i really want ring lights on the back and was thinking of trying to mould some passat lights in. but might try some led rings instead.

Stencils so that you can use VHT paint to put the logos on the calipers, i don't think vinyl will last that long due to heat and weather.

i thot it was vinyl already then laquered?

stickers last ages, my rear brembo ones were on for 2 years and i jet washed them, so itll be fine

I guess i just don't trust plastic on the front calipers, not with the abuse i give them - techincally speaking, if they're between heatproof paint and heatproof lacquer they should be ok?

Hi. Awesome car btw. Best looking Leon i've ever seen. Have just bought a standard black 1.4 leon (1st car) and looking to mod it slowly, due to funds. What is your bodykit? standard FR? Do you think I should buy an aftermarket fibreglass bodykit or what? And if you could slip me where to get the good halo ring headlights, that would be ace. Stunning, stunning car btw

 

[v-g]

Did some digging here, did ya'. Old thread. Does Rick still drive this?

Anyway, the bodykit is standard Cupra R with some 3rd party plastic arch extensions and some modified eyelids.

The headlights you can get on eBay or here.

hi thanks for the comments, yes i still drive it and love it to bits, reverted it back to standard a bit, i removed the bonnet, and front and rear lights also the boot instal is gone now too.

heres a pic from the weekend

but its now for sale as i want something a little different, i have owned it for 5 great years now.

hey dude,
i see you have delocked the boot, i'm currently having mine done, i've got the solenoid and switch wired up, works great, however the boot seems to pop open but stay latched.

How did you over come this?? stronger rams ???
