Thanks mate. The EP3 was just standard spec, wanted to keep it that way because of the low mileage and wanted to keep it standard. The only mod was the wheel colour change. It's been one of my favourite cars!

What did you do to yours?

I never wanted to sell mine but needed a diesel for work.

Race mani
Rbc intake mani
Aem induction
Spoon catback
K100 mapped at cpl
Lowered
Strut braces
Rota wheels
Etc..

Couple of pics of it in my build thread-

Nice spec and stunning looking car, looks like you spent a lot of time on it, like them in red as well!

Liking your leon, unusual colour and love the wheels.

You got any further mods in mind for it?

Hey up Rich, you recommend any good door sills as mine has not got any, which i find unusual.

Hey Lee, it's all down to personal taste i guess, i don't like the single sill protectors on the Leon, due to them having a double lip sill, if you know what i mean?

This is mine that i fitted a few weeks ago -

Yes it's a 6 piece kit. It only has one per side on the rears but i made one for the second lip out of some carbon wrap i had left over.

Yes i'm sure they will do them in red, just email them and ask to confirm like i did

Hi Rich

I was wondering about that Triple R splitter, is there one available for a 08 fr with BTCC fitted, sorry if youve already put pics up of this, its just i'm new to this ad trying to find my way round the forum. I saw the pics of Dave's i think, with the face lift front, thats why i wondering if there is one for my model?

Looks awesome by the way

Thanks

Hi mate,

Yes they do one for the pre facelift with BTCC kit. Here's a picture of a 2008 with your kit and the Triple R splitter -

Hi mate

that looks awesome!!! have you got a link or phone number for the guys/company selling them or did you find them on Ebay? think I'm going to get some of those door seals too, they look good.

One more question, on the the facelift model, it has an Fr badge on the front bumper and iv not really come across any pre facelift models putting them on. Is this something that's frowned upon if you do? because i want to put one on just to give the front something else?

Cheers

I believe you can contact them on their Facebook page.

I think some people have put the badge on the front, also it's not frowned upon and at the end of the day it's your car so as long as your happy then I wouldnt worry.
