cheers. Nothing planned until end of next month, maybe a forge valve (any ideas which is best 1?) and possibly a remap. Just getting used to the better build quality compared to a peugeot ha. Doesnt feel like running over a empty cigarette box is gonna break ma car :D

Nice looking leon cupra R there, bet you're chuffed.

Get the Forge 007P valve for your car, loads of information here if you search for it:p

Custom Code, Revo and APR are the favourite remap providers for the leon.

Get a fabia rear wiper mate, it will look much better and operate better than the standard one.

Had to have it on axle stands for a couple of days.......all neighbours thought the wheels had been robbed lol.............rubbed them down by hand with scotching cloths and wet and dry sand paper(very fine).......bought some red enamel in aerosol from halfrauds.......hung them in shed and sprayed them approx 6 times.........when dry stuck the new brembo stickers on.......we chose not to laquer over them like they are done originally,as its the laquer that peels not the paint.........the brembo stickers were done by a mate with his own shop who is very good and cheap,he can make almost anything.....they have been done about 8 months now and when clean still look as good as the day i did them. :whistle:

Good choice mate... The splitter will drop again... I've stuck a couple of screws up through the centres... seems to keep them in place... just a little tip. I need to sort my calipers too but just don't wanna take the car off the road! Enjoy the car:)
