lol yeah mate throttle response is abit better and the sound is just orgasmic :lol: But I've noticed fuel economy has reduced. Worth it though ;)

Anddd I spoke too soon... the light came on tonight lol

I had taken it to P Torque to get remapped but the helpful guys there found out that the wheels need tracking as when the car was on the dyno, the car would move sideways lol

So gonna get that sorted and booked in again sometime soon.



lol ;) Managed to get some decent wheel cleaner wax from Halfords mate, worked a treat. They are in safe hands but I feel new tyres will be due around Easter time :( The Toyos do grip like a dream

hopefully you will never buy budget tyres again.....you can feel the difference instantly

glad you are happy with them mate:)

Oh yes lol tell me about it. The budgets were like plastic. Truely dangerous. I'm so much more confident and feel secure with these tyres.

Handling and ride comfort has improved alot more than I expected considering I've only dropped down from 19s to 18s too.

The wipers on the front are too bulky now imho, you know they are there every time they wipe :(
Back is weird as only seen fabia upgrades or an Audi one.

Leon prefacelift Cupra all shiney

Well it's been a while since I posted some pics of the Leon so after a 5 hour long wax and hoover I've taken some pics on this gorgeous day :)

Here's how she started off,






And how she stands now,











Finally got rid of the Lexarse lights, in exchange for some stock ones which I tinted myself :) Decided to downsize from the 19 inch RS4s as they ride was so harsh and tbh a couple were in bad shape.

Mods so far:

Turbosmart DualPort Kompact DV
Front upper strut brace
Black angel eye headlights with 6000k HID kit
Cold air intake with open cone behind bumper
Colour coded bump strips and door handles
Oil temp and boost gauge running 0.6 bar (0.7 bar in fifth and sixth) in dual pod
3" downpipe and decat
Midbox back exhaust with Magnex tri-oval backbox
40mm springs and shocks kit
Spoiler
LCR front splitter
Aeroblade wipers
18" SSW Mesh 2 alloy wheels with Nankang NS2s up front and Goodyear Eagle F1 on back
Smoked Leon tail lights
smoked side repeaters
Alpine IDA-X001 headunit
Pioneer 1000w rms subwoofer ported
Fusion 1000w monoblock amp

Mods planned for this summer:

All round smoked tints
FMIC
TIP
dial surrounds
Bumper of some sort (mine could do with replacing due to condition)
Stage 2 remap

And I think that'll be it mod wise :) Due for a cambelt and could do with the windscreen replacing due to chips.

Thanks for looking and any comments/advice appreciated
Cheers
Dan

Liking what you've done mate :)

What a bargain as well! It is a proper SEAT colour, just a rare-as-rocking-horse-poo one - only seen one other Cupra in that shade and that was about 3 years ago on Auto Trader! :D
