HAd my Cupra a year now...a little timeline

[Dodson]

I bought myself a Leon Cupra as a nice family car, with me only being 21 and the arrival of a little girl imminent i decided the Leon was the perfect compromise, fast 5 door and the girly approved

I bought it in the Dec 05 and it remained standard (apart from private plate) up until July time when the warrenty ran out.

Along came the arrival of my beautiful little girl (Lillie Mai)

Along came July where the first mods consisited of a CarbonioCAI, Forge silicone hoses and a Forge 007p DV.
I dont have any pics of these unfortnately.

The car remainedlike this for a while as i had nappies and a new house to pay for!!

I then managed to get my wheels powdercoated Gloss Black.

Next on the mod list were some german styleplates.

Then followed by some nice FK Coilovers and FK ARB.

Then last week i managed to save and get it remapped.

So thats as she stands now i have had the car just over a year now and i still aint bored, my cars never normally last longer than 10 months, so itmust be doing something right.

Dodson why's your car for sale on pistonheads did you have a change of heart? I wouldn't sell it, it looks great...

 

[Dodson]

If the right price came along id let it go.

Was just wanting less money outgoings oneday and wanted rid,not had any offers anyway

Appreciate you liking it though mate

 

[DamoR]

Looks mean and rare

Good, recommended mods too.

I particularly like the ride height! Can't go as low in mine though otherwise would never get off the drive

Currently got standard plates on, due to police giving me a section 59

 

[Georgie]

whats a section 59?

 

[Dodson]

If they see anything illegal or i do anything illegal with my car in next 12 months they can impound car and then crush it after a certain amount of time.

Came to my house one night and gave me it!!!!

 

[Georgie]

err... thats not fun.

why they give you that, cause of the german plates?

 

[Dodson]

German plates and he reckons i was doing over 40 mph in a 40 zone, even though he was going the opposite way and he didnt pull me over that night.

I no i had slowed down to 40 from 60 zone at the right point as i drive that road everyday

car looks good mate, the wheels suit the car well

shame about the section 59, is almost as if they have nothing better to do than go after people with rather nice plates!

have u had the remap yet or is it due soon?

 

[Dodson]

fully done mate

 

[Cupra_Jay]

[Dodson]

I was requested to pull over a few weeks ago, apparently my original set of private plates had the wrong spacing, very nice officer advised me to change them as soon as I could.. Nothing further..... And Yes I have changed both her's and mine.... Dont want any hassle etc etc...

Oh forgot Dodson.... nice motor.... Personally not sure on the black wheels against the blue, but hey looks good anyway///
