Collected our 2.0 tdi FR Leon finally on Saturday

[MatG]

Here are some pics of the new Leon, not the best pics as I only picked up on saturday and its been a very busy weekend!

I have used it today to go and see my astra in Kent and its a really great car . Really pleased with how comfortable it is even after 7 hours driving with a couple of hours break in between, its quick (far to quick for a diesel!) and handles well although it really does need dropping!!!!

Over all really pleased that we got it over the golf and the astra (even though I can get amazing deals on them) especially as I have done 7+ hours in it today and not even seen another leon on the roads

Mods to come are:

Remap (3 months)
ICE upgrade (2 months)
Alarm (next couple of weeks)
Eibach 50mm springs and shocks (next couple of weeks)
Alloys (in 18's again - wait for the summer and the bad weather to go)
Grill (next couple of weeks)
Black badges (next couple of weeks)
Colour coded bonnet plastic and rear bumper plastic black (3 months)
Colour code the mirror covers (3 months with the other painting)


Things I would like to do money permitting is paint the centre console, leather trim, exhaust upgrade, induction kit but to be honest I am not really that bothered about them, as this is the family car, the modified car is my astra.

All in all I love it as does my girlfriend Sarah

Glad you like it Mat, like you said its quick, comfy and you see very few of them about.... oh and 40mpg too so cant be bad huh?
Nice to see you went for the best (and quickest) colour too!!!
Ive already done my grill/mirrors and got some alloy pedals and mudflaps from StokeBalloon at the weekend too...
Small ICE tweak (some pioneer speakers)
Been told the alarm is pretty good for a car of this type? Quite hard to get round the imobiliser?
Would consider the Eibach springs so you will have to let me know before and after opinions and prices if thats ok.... what 18s you thinking of getting, im getting RS4 replicas end of the month hopefully....
Enjoy the car, im still smiling after 3 months!
btw what are 'black badges' ???

Great lookin' car. Enjoy!!
The only negative for me with the black colours is it hides the rear bumper plastic surround above the number plate. With the lighter colours like the candy and the crono and even the red the rear looks awesone with the dark plastic, it break it up.

IMHO only, and we all have our own. Enjoy the FR. I'm getting one when the salt has gone!

not sure on wheels at the minute I have a few ideas but nothing that I have fallen in love as yet! Black badges - I mean I will be painting the S badges the same as the car. I will let you know on the eibachs for sure

Phnates - I agree it is some what lost on a black car, but the girlfriend really wanted a black car, so I got the black one Having owned a black car before I know the pain they can be!

Armrest should be high up the mod list, it is essential imho.
