My Leon Cupra (Imperial Blue)

[antzleoncupra]

Just wanted to show some of you my Leon being as i aint posted any pics up yet. I gotta say when i bought it i mainly fell in love with the colour

So far all ive added to her is a forge 007p DV, and added a Cupra R backbox. Its been dropped 30mm and the wheels come with it when i bought it. Personally id prefer the BBS deep dish look, but hey, i plan on getting an LCR in the near future so have decided not to mess about too much with remaps and what not. Im after Ko4 power lol

What do you think???

Looks familiar? Was that the CATD from Autotrader? Had my eye on it myself which but thats why I didn't look any further?

Looks nice tho mate! (and the best colour!)

Ohhh looks like mine

 

[antzleoncupra]

very well spotted scoobyjawa, yea it was, but overal the car inside and out is very clean, just need to get rid of some stone chips on the front bumper

I was very tempted mate, especially with the bumpers done, had a 200SX of mine turned into a CATC (I fixed with 50 quids parts so it was a complete joke - so I know they can be absolutely fine) but I spotted the one I bought first and got a good deal on that!!

Unfortunately you'll just get more stone chips, they're prone on this paint

Enjoy!

Oh and BTW - very odd, your number plate is one letter different to my wifes Yellow Leon Cupra!!! Weird! lol!

 

[antzleoncupra]

yea fair play, well im getting the bumpers done over again from a mate of mine whos in the game for a fair price so hopefully she should be mint. i still miss my 106 gti, but im thinking of saving for an LCR early next year and see if there is a big difference between the cupra and the cupra r???

 

[antzleoncupra]

lol!, now that really is strangeeee!!!

 

[ScoobyJawa]

Sure is - 2nd to last one!

And yes there is a big diff, my mate had a Oettinger Chipped Cupra R, much more of a beast to my chipped Cupra!!

Good cars them 106's too, little go karts - had a 306 GTI-6 years ago back in 1999/2000, brilliant car, still miss it, one of the best handling cars I've had!

Nice car, wheels look small in the last pic tho, what size are they?

 

[antzleoncupra]

17 inch, i mgiht look for some 18's but want something with a polished lip and deep dish. I have been out in a 306 gti 6 and i loved it, i couldnt believe the pull mid range and what suprises me the most about the 106 and 306 GTI's is that they aint turboed. I might be looking to get another 106 in the future and turbo it as a friend of mine has and its pushing 337hp.

But that wont be before i get an LCR lol

a little update:

Since last time i wrote on this thread, ive ;

smoothed and drilled the air box
Fitted a silicone Demon motorsport TIP (has made the turbo spool seem alot more responsive)
Fitted a boost gauge and voltmeter in a carbon pillar pod.
Fitted chrome mirror covers (which i think contrast well with the wheels)
Given it a full service

Planned to:
Get the car remapped at AMD... however, im starting to sway towards an LC FR/tdi now and aint sure if ill get it done before i sell it. We shall see. What do you guys reckon? is it really worth saving up more for an LC FR Mk1 for fuel savings or stick with what i got an remap it? lol

 

[antzleoncupra]

Just some recent photos, sadly she will be going up for sale as i have been tossing up the idea to get an e46 330 convertible, LCR or Megane 225, what do you guys think?

 

[antzleoncupra]

also my new little project in the background i got myself another 106 gti as i missed my last one a fair bit.

 

[evismaniac]

nice colour, looks great in the sun!

 

[antzleoncupra]

cheers pal, as you can see they aint the best of pics but in the sun the colour really does catch your eye
