Had the car about 2 months now, and its my first Leon so thought i best start a progress thread before too much starts happening.

Its the SX TDi model, so sporting a modest 110bhp. Got some big plans now though. Unfortunately as im impatient and wanted the car the day i saw it, and didnt want to wait for another one to come up, it has a towbar. Small problem, but as of tuesday, hopefully it'll be gone.

Its already debadged and also, as of tuesday, the rear wiper shall also be removed. Car's going down the cleaned/OEM line with the mods and maybe a few euro influences. Gonna sort myself out with some smoothed cupra bumpers in the not too distant future hopefully, and by xmas should have a shark fin, colour coded rub strips, some custom mats and a new head unit.

Hope you like the first few pics, and i'll get some more up hopefully on tuesday when i get to work on the towbar removal.

Updated Photo's

Since the last post i've been quite busy. Got the tow bar removed (big thank you to those of you on here who helped me and gave me some advice), and wasn't even that hard! Was really surprised. Also the rear wiper has been removed, again an easy job. Ordered a new chrome bee sting aerial that will be getting sprayed satin black soon i think.

Hope you like the photos and thanks for looking. Feel free to leave some comments/tips/idea's.
