Post Pic's of Your Mk3 Leon In Here

[Damo H]

That is actually the setup I have for winter wheels - came with the car.
It is a pitty, cause these wheels are really not meant for this and even with me babying them they are now full of scratches...

They do look well though. Are they the genuine 18” cupra wheels (don’t get them in the UK all are 19’s) or replicas!

I meant I have the genuine Pre-facelift 19" wheels

Car bra: Yay or nay?

Yay for protection, Nay for Looks.

TBH, I never even driven it like that - had the bra on the shelf for ages and decided to see what it looks like.
I got a gigantic crack on my windshield and it needs to be replaced anyway, plus my hood looks like the moon surface.
Problem of driving in a country where they gravel the roads and where cars have spikes in winter tires is that every now and then either a pebble or a metal stud flies at speed at your car, or even worse, windshield.
This is my second cracked windshield in less than 1 year...

I got a big road trip coming in February to the Icetrack and for sure that bra is gonna be on
....to drive around town, ich don't think so. I also dislike the looks.
Either way, in case someone wondered what it looks like, now there are some reference pictures.

When you have your windows replaced do you also have to re calibrate the camera's

I have heard conflicting replies about that - ended up doing it at Seat dealership, since the insurance pays it, and they said it does need calibrating - next time, since no point in replacing this one middle of winter, I thinking will do it in some other place, but they also seem to have all the gear to calibrate - so I am going to say you need to, yes.

But it sounds like not having had it done last time did not seem to cause you a major issue, I also have seen many post's on this issue and in the UK my understanding is the insurance company will adjust your premium for the re calibration (not the window)

As an aside in Finland have you got many people who have the front wrapped with a clear vinyl to protect the paint instead of the bra.

Last time it was done at Seat dealership - they calibrated.

I don't see cars with the front wrapped - most people here don't give a toss about their cars, which is sad.
Winter is pretty harsh on cars...

OK Missed that on the calibration,

I was talking to an english guy in Alaska recently and he said the same, Roads and conditions are harsh and cars are treated badly.

My car is getting front/hood and the most exposed areas protected with PPF before I get it delivered

Eibach Prokit, tank is full, got a few stuff in the back and a friend in the front seat so that’s why it looks coilover low. Front is always like that.
Normal ride height is a bit higher in the back if the car is empty.
I’m satisfied with the springs, I got the sportier look I wanted, car is nicely planted and there is less body roll.
The only thing I didn’t care about was the comfort because of my rock hard FR I didn’t expect much from even sportier Cupra. But no, Cupra is literally 5 times more comfortable than my FR was, probably due to DCC.
Comfort mode is on point with the stock springs, can’t comment on sport mode since I never used it, Cupra mode is bit harder but amazing when you push the car.
Ride height is aesthetically 8/10, would love it to be a bit lower but in the front there’s a rieger splitter and with the springs on I never had any issues entering steep car parks or similar. Can’t comment parking on kerbs or whatever it’s called cause I never do that with my cars.
All in all for everyday drive Prokit offers me everything I need.
Also to mention, I did consider Sportline but after a ride in golf gti which bottom outed all the time it was a no from me.
Hope I helped assure you to lower your CARBON.

Hey mate,
did you order your car with the performance alloys or did you source them elsewhere?

He has the performance pack (see the brembos) not available in the UK after the facelift

@Damo7 and @Titchy ordered them so may have the part numbers.

I've bougt them (pic in this thread) on ebay from this seller (https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/santig60) but I see he only has the orange ones at the moment.

Talking about these bad boys? If so there in the Seat accessories catalogue however looking back I wished I’d bought the 18 s to whack some winter tyres on. But then again I like the diamond cut on these ones.

Thats very nice. Is that the Seat splitter? Works well with the side skirts.

Just finished plasti-dipping my 5dr mystery blue cupra 290, looks much better in my opinion - the black matches the cupra badges and the brake calipers much better than the copper. #deathtocopper (?)

 

[KernelOkey]

I actually kinda like the copper/mystery blue kombo. have not seen it in person yet tho, Im about to order bronze/copper OZ Ultraleggeras to match the emblems lol. If I dont like the emblems in person its an easy fix

To be fair the copper and mystery blue is still really nice, it just seemed a bit out of place considering the cupra lettering on the back is in black. I suppose with everything blacked out it makes the car more of a sleeper
