im new, need some opinions pleasee

[brad1]

hi there.
im new to the leon scene, well i havent actually got a leon yet, but will be soon. going on holiday in a week and upon my return will be buying a mk1 leon tdi 110. the first mod i have done, but not to the car is bought some seatcupra.net stickers. any opinions on other mods which will enhance the look of my car. my leon i am going to get will be around the 52, 53 plate mark.
Any help greatly appreciated guys

Fabia wiper and a decent aerial would be a good start, do a search for part number details and options

Depends on what has been done to the car already?

Visually, the beesting aerial's one of the cheapest mods going. Perhaps getting a nice tax disc holder? Replacing the rear wiper with a fabia one is an SCN-approved visually-enhancing mod

I like cheap mods

 

[brad1]

the car is totally standard guys.

 

[swissrebel]

How much cash do you want to throw at it?

Yup!

I got my fabia wiper today, and there's an S2000 aerial on it's way from ebay!

I also managed to pick up a matching seat 'leather' keyring and tax disc holder from ebay too, looks far better than the massive dealer one

Fiddling around with the rear badging or de-badging is another cheap mod and makes your rear more interesting (if you know what I mean ). I went for moving and spacing out the LEON lettering in a Cupra style, taking all the SE, 130, etc. badges off and replacing the red and chrome "TDI" badge with a simple all chrome "TDI" - sort of a slight stealth look as the all-chrome was only fitted to 90BHP TDI's...

Yep, Fabia wiper is a good un, as are the etched effect SEATCUPRA.NET stickers on the inside of the rear quarter lights - nothing too ostentatious.

Whatever you do, don't make it look more than it is, like sticking Cupra R badges on it 'cos it's naff.

I've been thinking about doing this too. Did you need to get new stickers to put the letters back on, or can you heat them up and quickly stick them in a new place?

 

[Sooty torques]

Depends on how well they were put on in the first place...

Hellfrauds do a roll of the same double-sided grey foam-backed sticky stuff that's used. Cheaper than buying new letters from the stealers, but you'll need a bleedin' sharp scalpel or knife to trim to the letters...

It's a good rainy afternoon project!

If you don't intend moving them again you could always glue them back on. I did.

You'll never get them off with the original sticky pad still on though. Get some cotton and cut through it, then spend some time getting the residue off.

welcome to the club...
decent light bulbs.. get the white light ones with bluish tints..you won't believe how crap the original ones are...all yellow and naff.
personally if the door bumpers aren't colour coded you can always do them..
suttle yet effective mod.

Here's a pic of my Leon's rear with Fabia wiper and altered all-chrome badging:

nice car mate..
personal opinion...would of just had the leon on..looks much better
get rid of the seat badge and poss even the tdi..
hope no offence

 

[Sooty torques]

None taken mate.

Wouldn't take off the TDI badge 'cos I like folks to know what's in front of them and spraying them with sooty sh1te... Plus I wouldn't want anyone to think I was trying to pretend it was a real petrol cupra.

As for the SEAT badge, thought about losing this but then wondered about balance. I was thinking when I took this pic of moving the TDI badge to the centre bottom lip of the boot lid, so everything is on a centre line... Hmmmm...

 

[Deleted member 20482]

i did it to mine...does look better...
but must admit to keeping the 20v on the right..
but lost the seat badge.. think the big "S" is more than enough.. and anyway we know what were driving...

 

[Sooty torques]

So it could be this:

or this:

or this:

I'll have another look and think...

 

[CupraUK]

Numero 3 for me, just the L E O N on its own

 

[ikhlaq206]

just the plain L E O N or the L E O N with the TDi in the corner

TDI in the middle dont look good

how about spraying bump strips to body colour

above all personal opinions
