Bonjour from France

[AVCUPRA290]

Hi everyone,

Thought I would introduce myself after a few months joining this forum which already have been helpful.

I bought a lovely Leon Cupra 290 DSG pyrenean grey, Pack Sub 8 of 2016 with 80.000km.

Such a pleasant car, very « multipurpose » and that gives confidence while driving I’d say after driving a BMW 335i e92 for a year (engine broke).

Did some modifications and maintenance on it since I have it and informations on this forum helped me quite a lot :
- res delete
- Rieger diffusor and front lip
- maxton spoiler
- RS3 type exhaust tips
- R600 air box + turbo muffler + inlet
- sunroof oiling (krytox)
- black Seat emblems => now going for cupra emblems in grey on gloss black plates
- cupra letters at the back and flag delete
- front grill flag replaced with the Cupra R one
- Taillights in red with black outline (stickers)
- rear bumper plastic looking part behind the plate painted in gloss black

You will find some pictures of the car when I bought it and now how it looks like.

Thanks again for all the help on here

Looking good, you should start a readers ride thread so anymore mods can be shown and give advice like any handy tips etc.
