Car the day I bought it

 

[cus]

any pics of this??

 

[prezf]

I'll try to get some after next weekend. I didn't do any before I left the car with the mechanics, but it looks very different to the original :d

 

[Lee Edgecombe]

Sounds prity cool accept for lambo doors lol be interesting to see the out come. Where did u get the brembo brakes from for half price? ive been looking to get some for my car.

 

[prezf]

I know, that stupid lambo door but It's too much of a hustle to get it back to normal... I bought the brakes on ebay. Brand new, ex vw garage was selling them. I paid £700 I've seen some for around £1100 so it's still cheaper then Seat sells for

 

[Lee Edgecombe]

ye i know i can get them for £1250. But wouldnt mind getting them cheaper lol are the lambo doors the ones that only open upwards or do the open like a normal door as well? Cause then that wouldnt be so bad

 

[prezf]

No, they open upwords, actually first slightly to the side like normal but only for like 10 cm, then up. It was pretty cool when I done it 2 years ago but now it's a bit of a pain.

Anyway got the picture of the brakes:

And that's the turbo kit:

 

[wjohnson]

- Big Turbo Kit - Precision T3/4 turbo, XS Power intercooler, HKS

The Big Turbo in the bottom picture doesnt actually look that big to me?

 

[prezf]

maybe because intercooler is big as well have a look at this pic. I don't know that mush about turbos but was told it's good for 500 BHP

 

[prezf]

Collected my car this morning after owner of a company that was supposed to fit new engine called me on Thursday and said they pulled out of doing the job (( They had my car for over a month and just decided to tell this on Thursday. I'm now looking for someone to take on that job and fit the conversion.. I strongly started to consider advice given me by a number of people on this forum, sell the car on and buy Cupra or FR. It's hard decision but maybe it wasn't ment to be. I hope to make a decision by the end of next week.

I'LL POST SOME PICS OF THE PRESENT LOOK OF THE CAR TOMORROW AFTER I CLEAN IT UP A BIT.

 

[prezf]

Here's few pics I made yesterday.

Like I mentioned at the begining not to everyones taste but I love him

Bumpers need respraying but I direct all my money towards conversion now so it has to wait...
I'll try to get some pics of interior but not much done there, just headunit and some small bits really.

Let me know what you think

 

[prezf]

That's the pic of most of parts for conversion. Sorry for quality, done it my mobile. I'll get pic of engine later today.

Still not sure if I get it fitted though

 

[Lee Edgecombe]

certainly different lol i thought you was having the body kit like the one in your avatar?

 

[prezf]

In avatar is JE DESIGN the one I got is Ibherdesign need to get bumpers fixed but if I won't do conversion I probably sell the car so everything's on hold now...

 

[Lee Edgecombe]

oh rite, the body kit in the avatar looks really nice. What you going to do after you sell it? buy another leon? fr, cupra?

 

[prezf]

Well, I still hope I can do the conversion but evewhere I go it's just so expensive. IF I sell I would look either for Cupra or something bigger as I'm expecting a baby in 3 months

 

[Lee Edgecombe]

oh congratz man, a leon is big enough aint it?

 

[prezf]

yeah it should be fine, but I don't know if I get same car again. It would be to many memories of my old leon... Thought about audi A4 avant 2.0T but I really hope I can convince the mrs to let me do this conversion

 

[Lee Edgecombe]

ye they are nice mind. lol well good luck with that mate
