MY Leon Cupra 2000

Yep, bargain mate and its run aswell so will give you the full potential of it once you fit it to the car.
The toyosports ones have the badges on them, mine did, its strange about that dent, mine didnt have it, but was fiddly to fit you need a long, thin socket on a wobble extension to bolt it up to the turbo, there is one bolt more awkard than the other 4, maybe thats why theyve put that ding in it.. hopefully it wont be restrictive in anyway
Get some piccies up when fitted

Done a fair bit of work there mate, well done Sounds like you're chuffed with it.
Did you ever get that snapped stud for the rocker cover replaced?
10000k HIDs - I take it you don't actually want to see where you're going then? lol. They will be crap for night-time vision, even in projectors. If its just to look blue then they'll certainly do it!
Best HIDs for vision are 4300k, most people run between 4300k and 6000k

I was going to fit the exhaust myself but didn't want to wait any longer as I needed to order a grinder to get old exhaust off so took it to the garage today which I'm picking up at 5pm and only cost £90 so not too bad.
Will get some photo's and vids.

Yeah I try do the work myself, i like doing it and always wanted to work with cars but stuck with IT.
No I never got the snapped stud replaced but when I rebuild the engine and go BT i will problabley get a new head.
lol I just want to get them for the blueness really.... I will also be getting HID's for full
beam so will be able to see more in the dark if there's no cars in front.
I just don't find the 8000k have much blue in it as I thought unless because I got H7R or i could just get 8000k H7 in projectors and they might be better.
picked the car up today and WOW it sounds amazing on boost. Love it that you can cruise along and sounds quiet and soon as you put your foot down its loud.
Not impressed the way the exhaust sits maybe its due to the bumper and need to get a cupra r bumper..
Will have to get some pics and vids.

that looks well nice mate, I need to change my bumpers.
Just took some quick picutre's just about to go out and get it wash and will get a vid and more pics.
I don't like it, it sticks out too far which is probabley due to the bumper will be changing it in the future anyway.

I have done a better video, which sounds good. lol watching the video back there was a car behind me which was driving quick... Enjoy!!
Its nice to hear that noise again and it in use, have they shoved it right onto where it slides over the decat? if i remember correctly there was a small spot weld on it that the place i had it fitted at welded on, if theyve shoved it up to the weld i think it could a bit further if you chisel the weld off and push it on a bit more?
Like youve said though if you look at my pic compared to yours, its the depth of the bumper, the facelift bumper sticks out more at the bottom, which the exhausts are really designed for use with, theres a guy near me who might be possibly breaking a facelift one in silver so if he does ill see how much he wants for the bumpers and skirts, and let you know, can always courier them to you again.

I love the noise I don't want to stop driving.... I am looking for another bumper so hopefully will look better if not i will take it back to the garage and see if they can move it abit more.

yeah i think if the spot weld wasnt there i reckon it would slide on a bit more, whether they just put it on to the spot weld point thinking that was just a guide? or not.. or they chiselled the spot weld off.. who knows !
get some rs6 rims on it, cupra bumpers.. and skirts, look like my old one ! goes alright and sound well for a 180. get it mapped ! u must have spent some pennies on that !

Hi mate..on the N249 were does the bottom
silicone pipe lead to pls?
If you follow the hose from FPR it goes under the inlet manifold. Remove the old hose and installed 4mm silicon hose from under the inlet to your dump valve and then t-piece to your FPR.
