Newbie - MK3 Leon FR 2.0TDI 150

[SlimmJimm]

Hey Guys, nice to "meet" you all, I'm new to Seat but am a VAG veteran:

Had a VW 9n Polo 1.6 8v - AKA Tannie) and then moved to the Bimmer life with an E92 335i - AKA Veronica.

I'm originally from South Africa and have now moved to the UK, have looked after both my previous cars with immaculate detail, Veronica being given a nice downpipe, chargepipe, and an MHD tune to keep it simple and all OEM+ mods...

Moving to the UK, I've handed the keys to Veronica to a good friend of mine who will have many miles of sound motoring and after 9months in the UK using public transport, I found a nice 2015 Seat Leon Mk3 2.0 TDI FR with the technology pack, I must say the suspension is quite stiff but it's a lovely car to be in and drives really well!

Things I have planned for her and am hoping to get some advice on - will also post and research the appropriate forums but will appreciate links to topics discussed:

• A few stone chips on the front bonnet and bumper which I am looking for some touch up paint - any reputable sources in the UK aside from the dealer?
• Some paint peeling on the front and rear bumpers - hoping there are some recommended auto body shops in the South West (Bristol) area?
• With it being the 150bhp version (could not find a 184bhp version in my budget) - what off the shelf mods are there available to safely increase power?
• Any recommendations for a good Seat Specialist Workshop for services and upkeep in the Bristol area?
• Would like to add the vertical spoiler additions to the rear window as well
• A nice Valet to get the car to near factory condition
• Headunit upgrade to the bigger screen and reverse camera

Please feel free to mention any other basic mods for the Mk3 Leon you feel I should do - it already has the auto open boot struts (I am on the fence to strut the bonnet/hood currently)

The vehicle has a few addons as well, such as the alcantara seats instead of cloth, android auto etc and I am hoping to decode the vin to view a list of options fitted to the car? I've tried googling but unfortunately have come up with nothing - going to try calling a seat dealership to see if they can assist but am hoping there is a website that can provide this info to me?

Thanks guys and I hope you have an awesome day!!!
