My Leon 1.9TDI PD Top Sport 2,75" FF exhaust and BT

[Staszek20vt]

Here is my current ride:

2003 Seat Leon Top Sport 1.9 PD TDI

that how he looks before I put my hand on him

As you can see on my previous cars, my "modification bug" couldn't stand it and I started from:
- S3 pedals and foot rest,
- Leon Cupra R splitter,
- Skoda Fabia rear wiper,

after few weeks I decided to remap ECU at Dynosoft:
before

after

Car just get "another life" and gets faster he was ready to look faster too so he gets front and rear bumper from Cupra R and my old 18" OZ Supertourismo wheels which was refurbished and re-painted.

To be continued...

To lower the car I decided for Eibach Pro Kit:

Now, when car is "fast" and looks fast there was something I supposed to change - the breakes... So I ordered from SEAT dealership this:

AP Racing front calipers from Seat Ibiza Cupra R

and rear calipers from Seat Leon Cupra R

 

[Staszek20vt]

From motorsportworld.co.uk I ordered Black Diamond Drilled discs 312mm on front and 256mm on rear and Black Diamond Predator Rear Pads. Breaking fluid has been also changed for MOTUL DOT 5.1
Also I found quite cheap 18" Leon Cupra R rims, which fits perfectly with AP Racing calipers.

Now he was almost perfect... from outside...

As you can see the windows has been tinted.

As the fact that I'm doing a lot of km on highways and I have got 5 years old daughter I went for a SEAT Dynamic Navigation System wiyh color display and DVD player hidden in a glovebox next to Seat CD Changer...

Now she could watch her favourite cartoons and I didn't had to answer for a over million different questions while driving...

Then I thought that I've done everything I could... oh, I was wrong I foung 3M Di-Noc Carbon 3D and there are results:

After that I decide to change instrument clocks from VW Passat with full FIS and VW Golf MKIV dials finished with chrome polished gauge rings and changed colours:

 

[Staszek20vt]

For more pleasant grip I have changed steering wheel and handbreak cover from Leon Cupra R:

Somwhere between I changed all upholstery for black from Leon Cupra R:

As a something which fits I've got very rare black VW Passat W8 light with LED's.

 

[Staszek20vt]

I was very pleased with 3M Di-Noc Carbon 3D effect on the side mirrors so I've decided to put it on the roof and rear wing:

That's all for now. The full list of modifications is:

Interior:
- Recaro seats from VW Golf MK IV GTI,

looking good mate

i assume thats the 150bhp as standard version looking as you are getting around 290 lb ft of torque

 

[Staszek20vt]

VW is saying that ARL engine should have 150HP and 320Nm, but they always have some gifts

Thank you very much I appreciate that.

greesha, are you polish?

 

[gezmeister]

Very tidy motor

Dials look good. So are they passat or mk4 golf ones? Also the s3 foot pedals and foot rest - are they easy to fit?

 

[Staszek20vt]

Thank you

Dials are from MKIV Sport Edition, but clocks are from VW Passat. S3 pedals and foot rest are P'N'P. Installed in 5 minutes.

Regards,

Stan

How much were the pedal and foot rest? Did you go to main dealer/ebay?

 

[Staszek20vt]

I just got them from ebay.de the dealer prices are killing.

 

[dh00001]

[Staszek20vt]

Appreciate that, yes almost everything I've done by myself.

 

[greesha]

Thank you very much I appreciate that.

greesha, are you polish?

Yes I am ^^

 

[jonjay]

Wow Stan that looks great. Love the work you done in the interior retro fitting the VW dials and Sat Nav kit. Also really like the AP SEAT SPORT calipers you chose, great choice!

 

[Tartan58]

Very nice, especially like what you've done with the interior, don't think I'd be brave enough to try that. How easy/hard was it to get the passat clocks with the MFD working?
