what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Fraser87]

Think the mats might be finished.

Omg
Where about?

Gutted for you buddy, hopefully the insurance will pay out quickly for you to get a replacement like for like without too much hassle, was much taken from the house, or was the primary goal the car keys ?

Sheffield, Manor area (probably to be expected!)

Going to chase the insurance company tomorrow and see what the timescale is going to be like. Looking at the lead times some people are experiencing at the moment, could be a while before I get another Leon unless there's stock around.

Because they managed to break in they took the TV as well but nothing else gone, quick in and out.

I've turned my house into an alarmed fortress now

Replaced all the brakes on my Leon today, old ones were in a state after 27k miles.
Painted the centres and edges in a matt finish high temp paint as don't like it when they go all rusty.

But you left those calipers looking like that.

Yeah, no time to paint them

Fitted those black line boot fins to my Cupra ST. I like the way they intergrate with spoiler. A nice finishing touch to the styling at the rear of the car in my humble opinion.

I've been looking at rear diffusers. Dont want to change to dual exit exhaust so was looking at the maxton or the RDX diffuser anyone tried either?

Me! Making a post just now

Hey guys, recently fitted the Maxton Designs new rear diffuser and spoiler lip, transformed the back of the FR! I am totally in love with how it looks now, can post a couple more pics if anyone wants to see specific bits

According to guy I dealt with I'm the first to fit the diffuser

Very nice
Any drilling involved? How is it fitted

A little bit underneath on the rear diffuser, three self tapping screws up into the plastic trim underneath, plus some sealant

The spoiler held on by the supplied 3M bodywork tape

I got my local preferred bodyshop to fit it though so I wasn't worried about it flying off lol

I like it a lot...quite agressive but black on black hides that a bit.
I was wondering black on lime...does it pop out too much..?
Also that same diffuser is on bucket list.

 

[WhiteCupra290]

No I wouldn't have said too stand outish, from side profile it's very minimal, from the back it just draws attention a little more they've done a great job with both for them to kind of fit the lines of the car

Where did you bought them?

 

[WhiteCupra290]

Bought direct from maxton design website I ordered them gloss black so took a few weeks as they had to make then paint them

That rear spoiler looks a bit naff stuck to the rear of the hatch like that... why didn't you get a full rear spoiler?
I picked up a black painted genuine SEAT spoiler from ebay for £150..
Diffuser looks ok as I think its a copy of the Reiger one. They only make a single exit though?

To be a bit different didn't want longer spoiler, seen loafs on eBay, had my cupra with the longer spoiler and side bits so fancied trying something else

Single exit is all I wanted, not going dual on a diesel

Fair enough it takes all sorts I guess.
Out of interest why is it ok for a dual exit exhaust on a 4 pot 2 litre cupra but not ok on a 4 pot 2 litre FR?

Performance I feel, petrol 4pots sound better etc I just personally feel mimicking isn't the route I want to take, having already had a cupra id feel bad making my diesel look like it as it'll never be half as good lol

The old adage of performance should match the looks
