Wasn't sure where to post this, so decided to put if here. I got my Leon Cupra Facelift a few weeks ago, she is standard and was owner by s lady owner for the last 7 years. Full service history, but everything done at a lower price point, so cheap tyres etc.
I got it from a guys who buys and sells cars on, big isn't a dealer He had just sold another Cupra and was also selling a Escort Cosworth and Sierra Cosworth.
The car was all good from what I could tell, someone had smoked in it and there was scratches round the car but pretty sure I could fix this so agreed a price and drove home. 150 mile drive home was great, apart from the smoke smell and fear that the cam follower hadn't been changed in the documented history.
Since having her home Iv wet backed the seats and headlining along with a Aircon cleaner which has removed most the smoke smell. Also changed the cabin filter once done. Iv changed the cam follower, PVC and Diverter Valve. Tyres also changed to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 from the budget ditch finders.
The seller has power coated the wheels bit left the center cap silver, so wrapped them with some carbon wrap to darken them, looks better but I'm not 100% happy with them, might try a dark grey?
The car is such a change for me as my last car was a Peugeot 306 Rallye which dosent even have electric windows or sound deadening, so the sat Nov, Xenon's, autolights etc are a jump into the future. Don't know if it's standard but my rearview mirror even has red lights that project a red glow down over the dash!!!!!
