So as promised (ok its a day late) pictures of my onvi yellow FR.
Plenty of mods to come so ive made it under a project thread, it will probably be a slow build but that's mainly because im thinking carefully about what i get and how i do things, i may shock a few people with some of the ideas i have but we will see
.
A little bit about my leon (if your interested
), one pervious owner full seat service history, when i bought the car it only had 45,000 on the clock (good buy in my eyes),05 plate, i believe its the FR+?, full LCR body kit and wheels (17") this car was made this way.
Currently in the process of converting this car into 4 wheel drive quattro - project completion - 8 % - still loads i want to do to this car.
My mods to the car so far;
*Celtic tuning remap (206 BHP, 395nm) - thats what the remap was set up to do, RR in may might prove differently.
*Clutch-Specialist (C-Gmotorsport) - Balanced and lightened solid fly wheel, 6 paddle clutch.
*JBS - H&R lowering springs, lowered the car 35mm (though it could be 30mm).
*L.E.D - number plate bulbs and side lights.
*(not mods more repairs but still money spent on the car)- new front wheel bearings and bushes.
*Roof and bonnet respray - due to the laquer flaking a bit.
*Team hecko wind deflectors front and rear.
*FR mats front and rear (black with red trimming and FR badge).
*engine bay clean up (sprayed engine cover in gloss black and battery cover also carbon wrapped).
*carbon wrapped rear "seat" badge.
mods to come;
*recondition gear box (or a new one).-- (in the process of looking and deciding)
*Carbon induction kit - with custom air intake.
*EGR delete, also EGR blanking plate (if thats possible?, may sound silly).
*Full miltek exhaust kit, sports de-cat.
*Colour coded silicone piping (you'll find out the colour).-- (small amount of this will be done soon)
*ARB front and rear- undecided on which ones as of yet.
*Full polyflex bushes everywhere.
*Uprated engine mounts.
*New coilovers - (same again youll find out which ones- also very impressive).
*Strut braces - in every place i can possibly get them.
*Uprated turbo.
*Short shifter kit. -- (this will be done with the gear box)
*Front mount intercooler (maybe).
*Oil catch tank.
*Shallow sump.
*Custom made carbon fibre engine bay covers.
*Another remap.
*Rolling road results.-- (these will be up in may!)
*Fuel filter.-- (bought and fitted)
Im sure there will be more to add to the list as i go along sorry if i bore anyone with this list just its also going to be my little tick list so i can have what ive done at the side of it.
Braking;
*(Currently sourcing if its possible if it is it will be impressive), front and rear brake upgrade.
*Either HEL or Goodridge stainless steel brake lines all round.
Exterior;
*Custom made carbon fibre front spliter.
*Respray at some point to freshen up the onvi yellow.
*Finish off L.E.D conversion (front fog lights, possibly indicators and tail lights, also interior).
*Some kind of headlight bulb upgrade (undecided on what).
*Possibly different wheels - either 18" LCR wheels or some kind of BBS.
*Modify front grills.
*Possibly some sort of DRL.
*May also need some thing doing with my arches .....
*Also a few other bits and bobs - all with pictures.
Interior;
*Alpine flip out head unit - built in satnav, bluetooth, reversing camera and sensors.-- (being bought in may - woohoo)
*Full JL speeker upgrade - competition speekers.
*Small sub in boot - very small one dont want nothing to much.
*Seats -( these will shock a few people if i can get my paws on a set).-- (being priced up as we speak )
*Full cupra r interior.
*Boost gauge - with maybe a custom pod.-- (bought and fitted with custom pod)
*Possibly one more gauge - though unsure.
*A few nice touches i have in mind.
*T.V's in headrests with a separate DVD player for people in the back.
*Matching Spare wheel - also with a full boot install.
*Alarm system - remote engine start and turbo timer.
So this is my to do list.... its huge 
, though im sure ill start getting through it, sorry if ive bored anyone with this also anyone who has read it.... thank you , im sure as i go along more will end up happening, plenty for people to look at .
Thank you again for reading my thread, my aim is to turn this car into a nice show car and subtle.
Few pictures of the car; (Front seat badge is missing i know, ill never go through a car wash for "quickness" ever again)
