DPJ's Silver Leon Cupra GT - no more.

[v-g]

Dave, if you could supply us with a straight-on side pic, it would be nice.

Very smart and unique Dave. Twin exhausts looks the Muts Nuts.

I'll take one when I get a moment.

Looks tons better Dave......got to agree the rear spoiler removed may be just the job......and it's not the trcikiest mod to remove the spoiler

rears looking brilliant! including the spoiler..

front looks good too. need a side piccy but looking great.

comparison pic of old /new rear shows how the smooth lines suit the leon.

top job

Very quick removal job just to see what it might look like.

I think the skirts should star, the flares suit the curves on the facelift rear and avoid you turning it into 'just another cupracopy'

 

[Ruddmeister]

IMO looks nicer without the rear spoiler.......very smooth.....side skirts look Ok in the photoshop.......but then again it's not my car LOL

Infact removing the rub strips on the door would lower the waist line a little too and improve the smooth look.......

I did have a look on Sunday, it's screwed through the tailgate (holes to fill) and bonded to the glass (????). It's also rubbed the paint at the top of the wings so that might need sorting too....

Ooh, now that's a thought to make it different............

Cheers for the chop, Patrick!

I'm not honestly in love with the rear third of the skirts, although I do like the depth that the skirts give to the side of the car.

Quickie

Hmmm........or attacking things from the other direction a new tailgate from the scrappers

If it has scraped o the top of the wings it probably needs treating before it starts to rust anyway

Through a few layers of paint but not to bare metal, Steve.

Just for quick comparison

If you're going smooth body then the skirts have to be smooth too i think. Personally i think the combination of LCR front, facelift rear and smoothed doors would look great. I need some respray work doing on mine and the bump strips are all marked from the previous owner, plus they're dirt traps - i think they'll be coming off mine after seeing how nice that looks on yours.

 

[Ruddmeister]

To my mind it looks even more 'sleeper' which should make having BT all the more fun

im with him ^^^ i think minus spoiler / skirts / strips to match the smooth on the rear bumper a treat for the shape

cant say too much as mine is covered in reject kit of bits but better than nowt - next ones going smooooth as its a lot less hassle too

 

[DPJ]

I think I would be very disoriented.....









.......if I could actually see in the rear view mirror.....

 

[Ruddmeister]

What do you think of the third Photoshop........I note you have not commented

use it wave goodbye to most and to keep an eye on blues/two's

I'm not sure, I'd have to see a lot more to make up my mind on that one. I't could be that the rub strips accentuate the wheel height, and without them, the wheels are dwarfed by the door height........

O)n the other hand, I can see it working from looking at front quarter shots.

It's very hard to keep an eye on who might have appeared behind me!

Went Kai's Goo a bit eager on you?

That's a tool I'm best being banned from....
