what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[LR231998]

Gave the beast an overdue wash inside and out.

got a bit carried away and ended up fully decontaminating the paintwork, claying it and then protecting again. was covered in tar.

I promised myself I'd keep my FR until it dies. But after seeing the previous two Cupra's, I'm tempted to cut my losses and get one.
Fantastic machines LR231998 and Norbert

Thanks! Do it, it’s the best decision you’ll make (maybe not financially) I chopped in my 2017 1.0 TSI Ibiza FR for mine lol. Best decision ever! And you can easily achieve 39mpg on a decent run with normal driving. The amount of power for that mpg really is impressive.

I like the Reg of the Ateca behind. But hopefully it’s got more than 19(or 69) BHP lol

Where you drive that thing?I just drove 400 miles yet but show some 22mpg and im still nice with her.Mainly city drive.and school run in cupra mode because my son like the noise from actuator. Not me...

40 minute drive, 25 mile commute on dual carriageway/ 60mph roads with couple miles urban out of town. That’s changing gear at around 3k rpm or below ( I’m manual), engine mode doesn’t affect it.

I rarely go above 3.5k rpm unless someone is annoying me

I’m 21 and just drive granny mode purely for the reason I can’t afford any increase on insurance lol and it’s so so easy to reach stupid speeds quickly.

MPG is what put me off. I've got the 1.4 and it struggles for good MPG on my commute(42MPG). Living in the welsh countryside takes it's toll. My daily drive is 32 miles and it consists of numerous hills, 30 to 40, 30 to 60 multiple times. I get maybe 1 minute max of 60 and then it's straight into uphill 30's.

Ah maybe not the best then.

Not wanting to start an own thread for just this: Can you remove the fog light glass on the MK3 Facelift Cupra? Thinking of applying tint to the glass.

What a useless idea putting fog lights on a sportscar, much prefer the pre-FL look without a fog light.

You can buy pre cut tint. That's what I did. Looks loads better than stock in my opinion.

Ha Ha, you have just revealed that when driven even properly, "powerful enough" cars with manual gearboxes can return good enough MPG figures, I can easily get 36+MPG with my 2011 Audi S4 saloon with 6MT without hanging about - though a lot less if having fun!

Looks nice. I already have a sheet of tint I'm using though. How much of the glass does it cover?

All of the front face as it curls back over the edges. The pre-cut tint is slightly larger than the flat face. You can't see any clear plastic/glass. Anything that looks like clear glass in the photo is just a reflection as the tint is gloss.
