Thanks Ben !

Yeah I like the badge too, the red matches with the fr badge which has the red detailing :)

I need to find time to get these projector lights sorted out and fitted, plus fit the splitter then I think it is pretty much finished ( famous last words )
I need to give it a wash and get some updated pictures :D
PC plod won't agree with your comments on the reg though ;) they get me into too much trouble with him haha !

Hi mate, just goingthrough this, love the car!

I have recently purchased a milltek for my FR and a rear lower bumper diffuser setup, but the exhuast arrived with the rear pipes on either side, one far left and one far right. The diffuser wont fit!!! Milltek say this is the one for the FR and that the twin central pipes are more likely a cupra. Do you have the Milltek part numbers for your exhaust so I can go back to them and get the right one?

Thanks

Gary

Thanks mate :D

I don't know the part numbers because I got it second hand bud but if you are after the one I have then you need the Cupra R one. It fits the fr perfectly or any other Leon for that matter, as long as you fit the diffuser of course. I'm sure they will let you send it back and get your money back, then you can purchase the Cupra r one :) the one you have is for the btcc kit I think :(

Oh and I bought the triple R composites splitter too, so that should be here early next week hopefully :)

I havn't had the chance to test out the new bits today as it was soaking wet on the way home, but already the steering is more direct and heavier thanks to the walk kit. More updates when I get the chance to open her up ;)

Could i ask what spoiler you have on your car? is it a standard facelift fr one or a cupra one or something? i want one like that for my car but it would have to fit a pre-facelift which i cant see it not doing lol

cars looking sweet! :D

Ahhh mate it won't fit as the tailgates are different :( but yeah it's from the cupra R which I got from sere motors . You would need the btcc one which is quite a bit different :/

Awesome updates mate. Man, wish I VAGCOM to turn my damn fogs off as well

Thanks buddy ! Yeah it's the first thing I did turn them bloody buggers off, now I don't look like a **** at the lights when you indicate left or right :D

Thanks man :)

Vinyl for wrapping things? Or the side stripes?

If its vinyl for wrapping things then just get it off eBay and make sure it is bubble free vinyl. I have used about 10 sellers and the stuff has been exactly the same every time so they must get it all from the same supplier. It. Doesn't need to be the expensive 3m stuff either ;)
