My Imperial Blue Leon Cupra

[Mr Steve]

I bought my car completely standard around 6 weeks ago (im sure no one needs to see a pic of a standard Leon!)

3days after buying my car, my new suspension arrived:

V-maxx coilovers set to about -60mm lower front and rear.

I want to give the car a really euro look so the new wheels arrived a couple of days after the suspension:

TSW Holstens with 225/40/18 Yokohama Parada's.

And last week I fitted my new exhaust:

Blueflame cat-back system, there is also a Forge Splitter-R dumpvalve and my private plate now fitted as you can see from the last pic.

All comments welcome, I dont expect everyone to like it but its always nice to hear peoples different opinions

the wheels look kinda cool a cupra or lcr front bumper may give it a bit more beef

 

[b19kev]

that looks really nice,what wheels are they?

 

[somie2k]

not sure on the wheels, and i agree u need to get a facelift bumper and colour code ur side bumpstrips.

 

[Mr Steve]

Well the facelift front bumper is in my garage waiting for me to finish a bit smoothing on it before i get it painted, as for the bumpstrips I probably wont bother colour coding them as I will be smoothing them out soon along with the rear door handles and side repeaters.

I also have a Cupra R rear bumper but not sure if Im going to use that yet.

The wheels are TSW Holsten, not hugely popular which appeals to me as I like to do things a little different, as some people have said to me which I thing I agree with - they're a bit of a marmite wheel!!!

looks good

 

[MK8]

can see why their marmite, not my cup of tea for the leon, but maybe im just not into the euro scene enough to appreciate them. love leons in that colour, they look smart. R bumpers will set it off nicely, look forward to seeing the updated pics!

at the moment im not sure on the wheels, would look alot better with the newer bumper, will look mean then

Looks good apart from the crooked exhaust.

Looks good apart from the crooked exhaust.

Have to agree, looks good, but exhaust is slightly off. Looking forward to updates.

 

[Mr Steve]

Yea I havent got around to aligning the exhaust properly and its really bugging me - its top of the list of 1st things to do though!

Will keep you all up to date with any changes

that house is not at the end of thong lane or whatever it is???just before a t junction??it looks very similar to my friend simon copes old house

 

[Mr Steve]

No its not, definately Pear Tree Lane, just before the crossroads off the main road. Its actually my nan's house that we've just re-modelled so im pretty sure there wasn't a simon copes living here!!! lol

 

[strugers1]

oh i see lol looks almost identical with the twin garage which i imagine used to be a barn type thing lol and the gravel to a side exit front door!!if you turn right at the cross roads does that take you to some pinch islands along that road??or am i completely wrong lol

 

[Mr Steve]

What do you mean pinch islands? If you turn right out the end of my road its the main road for gravesend and it takes you down to the wainscot bypass. Is that where you mean?

 

[strugers1]

nope lol i am completely wrong lol ill stop bugging you now lol i think to be honest i am thinking more thong than shorne but i love the wheels different can be good as you proved mate

 

[Mr Steve]

No worries, thong isnt far from shorne so easy to mix them up lol. Glad you like the wheels though, and as some others have said it will look much better with the facelift front bumper

 

[hon_n_gem]

Looking good! love the wheels. As everyone pointed out the facelift bumper would help, maybe colour coding aswell!

 

[Mr Az]

Looks great mate, really like the alloys

How do you find the ride with the V-MAxx's? Been looking at getting a set myself and my car is pratically identical, was just wondering how u find them with the 18" compared to standard?

 

[cupraslayer]

looking good mate.
