Seat Leon Cupra [180] - Going for that rally look
- Thread starter Method
- Start date
I never got to test them properly but if i recally correctly, the bulbs i upgraded them to were decent. I had to remove them for my FMIC a while back
Do the front wipers, aerial rear and xenon headlights fit to a mk1 Leon 1.6 sx by any chance?
Looked at the links and they don't say, has anyone tried? I'm happy to buy the bits but only if they're gonna fit!
They should all be fine for it
sorry for the late responseSo quite a while has passed since i updated thise i've had some stuff swapped around!
For starters i now have a full turbo-back exhaust system with a de-cat. It sounds absolutely mental and burbles and pops A LOT. There is only 1 small silencer in the exhaust which is purely there so that i don't get pulled by the police. It is however near enough a straight pipe 3" decat to a 2.5" straight pipe with 3" twin circle exhausts. I didn't want an oval double exhaust or the Cupra R style exhaust because they are everywhere. The exhaust sits nicely and only pokes out a tiny bit, almost flush with the bumper
Excuse how filthy my car is >.<
I also got some pressed metal numberplates (front + back) for my car. Looks much nicer without the screw holes. I didn't think they were legal but they apparently are. I also got a little paper with my plates saying they are legal. So i can just show that if i ever have any trouble. They really do look nice, especially at night when you're driving behind the car because you can see the 3D look under the LED bulbs
Here's the eBay link for the plates in case anyone wanted to know:

I also had a Toyosport FMIC donated to me swapped for my standard intercooler. Unfortunatley because of the way the intercooler sits i wasn't able to keep both my fog lights. The pipes can be adjusted so that the fogs can fit but that's not very high on my to-do list
+a minor update i also got my car de-badged and it looks so much neater

My driver side carpet was in horrible condition so i decided to order a new set (front and back) of carpets from eBay.
I got to choose the colour of the leather trim, stitching, logo colour etc. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. The only slight issue i had was the carpets aren't 100% OEM fit. They're a bit bigger than normal, the fitting is a bit tight. Other than that i can't complain!

I decided that i wanted to go for the rally look! I saved enough money to buy myself a nice set of alloys + tires. This is what i found
Was a 4 hour journey in the end but was deffo worth it! The next day i got them fitted
Here's the day they were fitted
The only problem i had was that the rear centrecaps couldn't go on because the hub was in the way
But i plan on getting 20mm hubcentric all around so hopefully they will fit on after that. The spacers should make the car look slightly more aggressive and fill out the arches better.
I plan on getting some tyre paint and doing the "Goodyear" logo in white and "Eagle F1" in red. Hopefully it'll look good! Then next up is some rally style mud flaps

I ordered myself a set of 20mm spacers all around. I know most people go 10mm on the front and 15mm on the back but i was after a bit more poke.
I went for these spacers as they bolt onto the hub and then the alloy wheel itself bolts onto the spacers. The other type of spacers just use extended wheel nuts which to me seems like it's putting a lot more pressure on the nuts. So these set me back a £110 but they were brand new and the cheapest i could find.
Heres the link if anyones interested:

Alright, mate. Can I ask whether you had any issues with your exhaust knocking on the rear beam after you lowered it and upgraded your exhaust?
