Hi sorry for the late reply, I’d say the Eibach sportline springs dropped the car around 30-40mm, the dash panels were flocked at absolutely flocked in Didcot.

What a machine.

Out of interest were the TTRS calipers a straight swap or were some convertors needed?

Thanks , they are a straight swap if you want to use the 370mm discs, Iv gone for the 345mm discs so used some vagbremtechnic
adaptors from Aks tuning.

Thanks... not sure if they’ll fit under the OEM 17s I’m running, trying to keep mine looking reasonably stock... time to get the tape measure out...

Ah sweet. I’ll do some more digging, running spacers already so that’s all good. Appreciate the reply’s mate.

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this thread and the Leon has gone through a few small changes.

Firstly I finally got round to buying an Lsd and got Tom at Retro Resus to build up the gearbox with 4th gear support, steel selector forks, brass shifter bushes, all new bearings and seal and a wavetrac LSD. The difference is night and day so much more grip available really happy with the upgrade.

Since I’ve owned the Leon it’s had small bit of damage on the rear bumper from being reversed into a lamppost, I was able to pick up a good condition rear bumper in Inferi Black. I decided to remove the lower reflectors and replace them with mesh as I’ve always felt they look abit out of place. I really think it tidies up the rear end.

 

[Jairm88]

Starting to run out of things to do to the Leon
I found a company in France that makes some custom Cupra 280 style badges I know technically the 240 doesn’t come with this badge fitted but I think it works, what do you think?

It was a couple of months ago now but the Leon was featured in VWG magazine Awesome achievement ticked off and means I have a keepsake if anything ever happens to the car.

Love to see this car in the flesh... You thought about popping along to the meet in Blackpool on the 5th Jan?

Got quite a few people going and some staying over as they have epic journeys.

I've give this some bedtime reading later lol
