This is the day I brought it from fort William highlands, it was a 800 mile around trip in 14 hours but I love the car as a massive R fan anyhows this is my second leon and I was amazed by the same rattle dash, the rattle from the bars for the boot lock, heavy road noise lol but its worth it......I always buy cars and then mod them for more power etc but this one I wanted somethink different I wanted a straight unabused and un modded model which had everythink standard from when it was made, which this one had....I've never brought a car of eBay either but it seems the seller was struggling by being right up north so I won the car for 3k being a 2005 model with full service history and around 76,000 miles covered, the strange thing is the car was from stoke originally and thenfrom the birmingham area so it was a local to me car then went up to Glasgow then fort William for me to bring it back to where it came from...... The things I've done so far is subtle s3 black strut brace, forge 008 recirc valve, 2.0 tsfi coil packs and spacers, a nearly new standard exhaust which as had a 1yr use so looks like new..... Some nice whiter osram night breakers and white side light bulbs, I'd love to put a set of lower springs to add look but the original idea was not to mod in any way from standard form,
Things to do in the near future.....
Stage 1 revo linear map......
20mm rear spacers to fit......
Possible 20-25mm lowering springs but struggle to get of my drive without scrapping now.......
Window open and close with alarm......
Updated clutch......
Ferrodo ds2500 pads......
I'll get some better pics up when I've give it a clean I've only just found tapatalk lol so can now post pics with the ipad I hope......

Yeah it come to a point were I was thinking !! Man what have I done 3k for a cupra R 05 plate its going to be a massive shed I then worked out prices for breaking to make my money back but once I seen it I fell in love and it goes pretty well for a standard car....... Does anyone run coil overs that keeps around the original ride height to the front and a small drop on the rears.....just so I can keep a nice driver and get on the drive ok

Few things to sort in the new year got some breather pipes to replace when CMotorsport send them, might change the tip to 80 mm black, parts ive already fitted are k&n panel filter, forge 008p recirc valve, 2ltr coil pack convertion,metal number plates,S3 upper strut brace, these are mods that still look OEM and standard to look at,the new year will end up bringing a revo stage 1 remap, possible a set of springs to make it look a bit meaner, also got some 20mm spacers to fit to the rears......

Have to admit mine are 8000k hids and they are blue-ish. Think the one you saw must have 10000k or more which looks too much

This is what I sold to buy my LCR, it was a remapped 130 tdi sport, quick little beast but if I'm honest I got really bored with a bit of torque loads of wheel spin and no petrol head rev, the fuel economy was great but I'm not that bad of that I have to run a diesel lol.
Sadly missed but still in the family, maybe one day ill own it again as a spare....
