hi mate, dog bone mount is a stronger engine mount i think... apparently it prevents excess wheel spin (dont know how lol) on take off, and stops the engine moving around as much ... although dont quote me on this as im noooot 100% sure

Pretty much that. It stops the engine bouncing or moving so much which is why the front wheels lose traction (that and a heavy right foot!) as the front is moving up and down so the tyres cant grip as well.

Rear Fabia Wiper Conversion and Green Cotton Panel Filter (or induction kit - although I prefer the Filter)

The best thing you can do to your car (not really a mod, but) Just give it a good old clean and polish. I also clay my car and wax it. Makes it look 10 times better and no need to spend any money!! (apart from the cleaning products ofcourse!)

Also get nice mats for it. I bought some custom mats.

Its the little things that make the difference!

If your going to fit a panel filter you should smooth the air box. Heres a guide with everything yo need to know-

Also if its got the facelift cupra front bumper you should fit a cupra R front splitter. Only costs 20 pound(my pound sign doesn't work on my keyboard) from the stealer.

squint stream thanks thats awesome.

R@B your leon looks how i want mine to look. how low is that? and what is it on? thanks for the help!

Just thought I should add my two cents to this - there's a lot of misinformation going around on this forum and the smoothed/drilled airbox is one of the worst. Do it if you want noise - but drilling holes sucks air in from the engine bay (which is hotter) and smoothing reduces the turbulence that the airbox was designed to create (as turbulent air cools more). Either way the performance differences will be minor, but just thought you should know...

100% agree no holes here.

best thing is a cold air feed...

 

[lordgibbness]

The OE airbox has one as standard I believe. I guess this could be enlarged or moved if a better feed location is required.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I got no holes either and have added a 76mm air intake.


I thought it was only people with Vauxhall Corsa's that drilled holes in there air boxes?

 

[Bowen]

so just buy a panel filter fit it and leave alone yeh? lol

which panel filter ive always used pipercross? but this is my first disel......

 

[lordgibbness]

That's what I'd do... go for a Green or Jetex cotton panel. The other choices are K&N and Pipercross but they have mixed reviews with MAF problems.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I'm using the green filter with no problems
