Just read your thread, my mods are pretty much the same as yours. Looking really good and I agree about the bumpers, not trying to pretend my car is an fr or cupra, just the cupra/fr bumpers look so much better!

Hi dude, yeh I bought them from Dave at SERE Motors through his section on the forum. I think they retail at around £130 but Dave does them much cheaper at £90.

I also made a guide on how to fit them:

Thanks, Greg.

Why am I not subscribed?!

Looks awesome Greg ;)

Haha cheers :)! Running out of things to do though!

The car looks so smart! Extremely jealous, i really wanted a white leon but it was like £2000 more than a black one :(

Thanks buddy! Bloody hell £2000 for a white one?! That's insane :blink:

Yeah, i'm 18, so the only engine i could afford on insurance is the 1.2TSi, and so theyre 2010 onwards, white ones were rare and therefore more expensive :(

I want to eventually, but being at college i dont have any funds to do it with! Wouldnt mind a remap for some extra power, but dont want to void my warranty... Also i saw some daytime running lights on the dectane website, someone linked me to, they look smart as theyre integrated into the fog light grille, but i dont have fogs :/ wouldnt mind retro fitting them but dont know how easy it is to do that!
Also the fr bumpers like you have are smart, i just want a bit more of an aggressive look to the car, but also dont want it to just be an fr haha!

That's cool! Yeh I do like the BTCC kit too but it cost me just £40 for both front and rear bumpers painted so can't complain really! I shopped around and waited for what felt like forever to get a good price on the bumpers, so if you are seriously wanting to go for some, wait for them to come to you, they will come up :)

Next mod has now been ordered, FL Leon Aero/LCR Rear Spoiler!

Going with Gloss Black to continue the theme/contrast.

Has anyone had experience with TigerSeal or SikaFlex? Advice appreciated :)

After that I'm looking into getting the dash plastics done Gloss Black like a few members have already done...

Quick Update!!

Got the spoiler back from the bodyshop today and fitted it to the car this afternoon.
I used sh** loads of masking tape to hold it in position overnight and plenty of tigerseal too!

Some snaps as it is now...

Also my new modded SEAT 5-Speed leather gearknob...

It does look 10 times better in the flesh, a combination of poor lighting and camera skill...

I done it gloss black to match my door trims and RNS310 Screen Surround. Thinking either the whole dash plastics next OR the heater rings and bit on the wheel :D
