My first Seat - Leon 1.8t Sport pics

Why have you got bonnet pins on the bumper?

Fogs don't look quite right as you suggest, maybe cover it all up with some black mesh?

 

[kineticz]

Ahh yes, the pins are to securely fit the bumper to the rear crashbar, and the wings, it was the best idea I could come up with to ensure the bumper is nice and tight (and it is abit different).

I bought mesh, was going to fit it over the FMIC, do you think it would look better with the mesh like it used to be in my avatar? What should I do with the fogs?

bin the fogs totally dan, shouldnt use them anyways...there crap.

dont really like the pins, why the need to secure to crash bar??

Yeah, the fogs are gone, removed them the other day

The bumper simply doesn't hold firm enough with the limited mounts it has on the wings. I've bolted in a new crash bar as the old one was cut quite abit to fit the FMIC.

Will look a lot better with some black mesh I reckon

Not a fan of the pins mate, black mesh will make the front loads better.

I'll whack the mesh back on then

Fitted the oil catch can today, keep an eye out for pictures of that and the mesh when I get round to it, also got a new exhaust coming.

Dan how are your feelings about N75J ? I wonder if you would get better results if car was mapped with it.

Well I fitted it, and even though there is a problem with boost somewhere (which I am going to get a garage to look for this week), it does seem to be smoother and just generally seems to pull better than with the C valve.

I have heard that these work well even after a remap, and can add upto 2psi, smoothen the boost delivery so I'm happy

Re: My first Seat - damage repairable Leon 1.8t Sport pics

Does that mean it makes the turbo boost 2psi harder? I'm not sure thats such a good idea if its already on its limits on a stage 2 map?

 

[kineticz]

I'm really not 100% sure on it. I know there's many users of it with a remap with no problems

Looking clean as mate, nice work

 

[kineticz]

Thanks, still got the mesh to go on, and I'm ripping the rear spoiler off.

 

[kineticz]

So pleased!!

My luck finally came in, picked up a GENUINE LCR rear bumper for £89!!!!

So happy just had to share it



Anyone got a guide on how to fit it?

 

[LEE69]

Bargain!

 

[kineticz]

It didn't have a picture until the last 3 days, couple that with a poor title and it's a prime example of eBay bargainage.

 

[gezmeister]

Nice one

 

[magicoi]

congrats you lucky devil!
