Post Pic's of Your Mk3 Leon In Here
- Thread starter Bristle Hound
- Start date
It’s a Rieger splitter from eBay, it’s German so very easy to fit and comes with all the fixtures and instructions. One of the guys at the last meet we had @Maypack.... ordered one and fitted it to his car and it turned out great..

Thanks! It makes a big difference to the front of the car. If its quite easy to fit i may have to treat myself at some point in the future..
Yeah...all the holes are pre-drilled in splitter even the first two holes at each end of the splitter match the two screws under front bumper. Jacked the car up and put on axle stands, a nice bead of silicone sealant and fix with the rest of the screws and special washers supplied, job done. 40mins tops.

Picked up my Leon Cupra R in the middle of the week.
So far a very nice experience!

Car looks super cool Peter, how does it compare to your old golf r.

Does the silicone sealant come with it or did you get it separately? Been wanting a splitter for ages but I’ve been putting it off because I don’t want to drill into the bumper! Does suit the car very well though

Seat cheaped out again on the UK car and didn't make a white mph dial...
thats very bad form looks like somebody fitted wrong speedo
Comparison R vs R
Tomorrow we will do a comparison. Since the Cupra R just have 250 km on the odo I don’t want to go 100% yet (await until 1000 km). It feels a bit more firm in the suspension, both have DCC and also lighter. Both are manual. In general they are very similar. We will see tomorrow
. I'm very exited!/Peter

Well that's if it all goes through, I am afraid my OCD (Which I don't normally have) would tell me the color is different for no reason, the font size is different, the temp gauge looks out of place. but its not my car but if it were I would change back to the old style.
Edit
Sorry @paddy6789 I don't like that, but as long as you do then that's good

Nah..I got the silicone myself,and the drill holes are only 3mm so if you have to take the splitter off to hand the car back you will hardly see them.

I can confirm this to be 100% as @Deano j1971 talked me into the exact same Splitter. Same installation method. Fit splitter to 4 existing self tapping screws, drill 18 3mn holes. Take splitter off , clean up and add sealant. Then it’s screw in 22 self tapping screws and it’s as solid as a rock.
Been over my first few speed bumps at work and it clears nicely.
Just do it, you will not be disappointed...I haven’t been

After seeing yours, if the Carbon hadn’t pulled off, I’d of ordered one myself as was looking at a desire red estate with all the trimmings...I can confirm this to be 100% as @Deano j1971 talked me into the exact same Splitter.

I have to say....bias as I am...the gloss splitter does look very good against Desire Red. Thanks @Deano j1971
Though the Carbon one looks very very nice

I’ve heard that self tapping screws will eventually come out as it’s not a long term hold?
