I drove past my local dealer the other day. They had a black Altea out the front but didn't stop so can't be sure if it was an XL or not, I know it wasn't an FR, because the front bumper was the same as mine. What caught my eye though was the chrome lip around the bottom half of the lower...

Hi all, Looking for a bit of assistance here - I was involved in a collision yesterday where the vehicle following failed to stop and hit my Cupra R up the backside at about 20/30mph. Initially the jolt and sound made it seem a hell of a lot worse than it appears. From the looks of it...

right i've done a search high and low. and cant work out if theres a difference other than the grill being different. do they have the same head light/indicators? this is the reason why i ask http://blog.autostyle.co.za/2007/03/ if you read the artical it say the were made for the cordy/polo...

Unfortunately due to other commitments I have to sell my LCR 225. Where is the best place to advertise? MightyMin.

right i have a 2002 leon cupra 180 standard. i have a whirring noise from the front end from 30mph to 45mph,it sounded like a wheel bearing so its had all 4 bearings changed and the front discs and pads. now they think it may be the gearbox.but the noise can change by turning from side to side...

been a long months for me and the beacon, and i'm somewhere near sorting the bodywork out at the front i think, thought i'd post some before, during and after transformation piccies! here it is as a boggo 1.2s lol Then i went a bit rebellious with the chrome centre grille surround and...

Could easily be a stupid question but i couldnt find anything so ill have to come out with it, there is three sensors going into the bottom end. two about half way spaced equidistant and one near fly, possibly thinking its the crank position sender. The three sensors wires all meet at a...

I have had a few posts scattered about the car. This will now be my official MDS Leon thread :) Just some pics youve all seen to start the post...

Hi All. I own a Leon 1.9TDI Stylance and when going down motorways around corners, it feels like the back end wants to drift for some reason. I am wanting to change the tyres from bridgestones to mich's, but i am worried if i spend £300 on 4 tyres, that the problem may not be sorted Any...

Hi all Just bought a T-reg '99 ibiza cupra and it has been repaired poorly at the front. By the looks of it a wrong grill that has been put on aswell as the head lights. One head light has a dip at the top and the other one is just stright. Which one is it ment to be? Is there anywhere i...

If one was to convert the front end to that of a Mk3 ibiza Cupra, would he/she have to get a slam pannel from said car? Or will the standard one on my mk2 Cupra be suitable? We are talking about LH/RH wing, bonnet, headlights, front bumper and all grills. Thankyou for your input!

Evening I'm interested in fitting a LCR front bumper to my Mk1 LC. It seems a relatively simple swap over as far as the size of the bumper goes, but I need to know the part numbers for the grilles, lower splitter and any mounts that need to be changed over. Any help much appreciated New...

Hi. First actuall modification, if only cosmetic and minor. Just looking to get the views on here, what do you think of no badge on the rear of the Toledo? http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w151/googis/?action=view&current=Debadgenight.jpg Also a mock up of no front badge? havnt got...

Had a look and cant find info i want. What parts are needed to convert mk2 front end using mk3 front end parts. Slam panel/lights/bonnet/bumper ? I know a few folk have done it, needing a rough idea of costs - il be using salvagable parts so price will vary. If i cant do a mk3 front...

Hi, I bought my 52 plate 130 sport last week and drove it 2 hours home, everything was fine (exept for the cup holder breaking!!) later that night i was parking in a car park and noticed a knocking noise coming from the front end, the dealer did change the offside wishbone bush before i...

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody has a 2003 Leon Cupra R bonnet and front bumper with the grilles lying about and willing to sell prefferably in black ? I usually use my works van but I left it at work for the weekend, so on Monday morning I asked my girlfriend to run me to work in her car. She...
