Hey All I got My Leon MK2 about two months ago, I previously had a Leon Cupra MK1 which I loved but I decided it was clocking up the miles and thought it was best to change. So I went for the MK2 Its not an FR or Cupra But a "Sport" which seems to be a rare one as its one of the first TFSI engines out I believe. So it Has 2.0TFSI engine Producing 185BHP. At the moment its pretty dull and doesn't do much for me but I intend on doing many things to it to in time. Money Is a little tight at the moment after paying for the car so Im starting with the little things first.



So here are some snap shots after a good clean today.

Looking good keep the updates coming. Where did you get the Sportlines from and is it a big job to put them on? I bought an FR a few weeks ago and I'm looking at doing the same.

You my first replier haha thanks for the interest mate :) The rears are nice and easy although you may need someone to lever the springs out, but the fronts were the pain for me hitting the strut of the hub was a nightmare all tough if heard some people find it easier breaking the ball joint and taking the drive shaft out. I would deffo recommend them though doesn't make the car sit to low, I think it look just right

The suspension should settle more.
