The stealthier cupra 4 of SCN - now for sale!

[poliq]

Thanks!
Here's an better explanation:

Little Marielle was in such a hurry to get out, that she was born on or own bathroom floor, about 20 seconds after the midwife came to our house. I actually had to run out onto the street to get her, as she didn't know which apartment we live in..
Good thing she only lives about one block away..! If else there would have been just me...

anyway, the ambulance arrived a few minutes later, and mother and child started the one hour drive to the hospital. I had to wash the bathroom and gather a few things before I drove the octavia down. I found focusing on the road and the driving pretty hard. Good thing I had cruise control or else I'd drive way too fast..!

From the first hour we got all the help we need, food prepared, etc etc..

Baby girl was 3050g and 48 cm. most beautiful thing in the world. Feeling so lucky and proud!

Getting new registration plates this week as the old ones are cracked and ugly. costs £14.
Also got an appointment to get the lowering springs approved. Earliest available was july 3rd., while MOT should've been done within june. typical!

To get an lowering legally approved I need; papers from four wheel alignment proving that all the angles are ok, TÜW papers, vehicle licence, papers that prove the lights are adjusted, oh, and the lowest point must be at least 11,5cm from the ground.. jesus.

Sure looks better, or at least a lot stealthier with the reg plate off!

Old ones are ugly. Picking up the new ones tomorrow!

Just wondering how much you have RPM at 80km/h, 100km/h and 120km/h ?

Not sure, but I need to be doing about 100km/h to use sixth gear properly, so around
2000RPM @ 100km/h in 6th. This ain't accurate though.

 

[poliq]

Picked up the new reg plates, but haven't fitted them yet. Thinking about using two-sided tape to fasten them. cleanest possible..!
Any thoughts about this method?

bit of tec7 would hold it on very well. but you would need to get it on right the first time

 

[poliq]

Tec 7 is too strong. Maybe Velcro! ;-)

Detailed the car today. Only meguiars products used.
Correction Compound + DA
205 Polish + DA
Syntetic sealer nr.21 + hand.

There's still some residue left, but it will disappear with the first wash, 14 days from. Hard to get photos that do the shine justice.

After:

As mentioned above, I velcro'd my new reg plates today!
Nice and clean, no bolts or holders, still possible to take them off etc.

Sticks out a bit, but not as much as I feared
Looking forward to give it a good clean!

Been thinking about ripping them off to paint the outer white border black. Just because.

found out that a mate had these lying around.. 20x8,5J....

A set of 20" wheels laying around - I need mates like yours

will check if one of the pcds are the right one one of these days. If they fit I might get them off of him, maybe paint them as the chrome kinda mess up the stealth.

if so I think i'm going for a little stretch plus spacers. Maybe 215/30-20 or something

 

[poliq]

super easy research has shown that they won't fit easy..
if I have understood it right, the leon has a pcd of 5x100, think these are 5x114,3 and possibly 5x120 ?

H&R Adapter Spacers like DRA 420655711 (20mm per side) or 502655711 (25mm per side)

 

[poliq]

Yeap. But they cost £240 + shipping. And I expect £400 in tires. And I have to buy the rims, plus mounting and balancing.. Also have a set of rs4-2 reps 18", with brand new kumhos fitted. Could have them for £600. I don't know...

I think that 20"s are way too big for Leon but this are things you can only argue. People have different taste I think that 18" best size for these, eventought I use and will use 17" rims. I just wanted to give option for you how you can mount those. I think there is cheaper version also on the market. I just checked those coz I sell them myself at work so I have catalogue for them .

Your car's looking so neat anycase.

 

[poliq]

I've only seen a few pictures of Leons on 20's on google, and must admit it looks a bit huge!
would've been cool try for myself, but not £800 cool!

thanks for the kind words. The car is this week beeing serviced, wheel bearing plus knocking in the suspension, and the limp mode. Also next week shouldbe eventful for my leon!!

 

[poliq]

Good news! Knocking (arb bushes again) is sorted, plus that the VNT rod have been lubricated, the turbo cleaned, and a broken vac hose were replaced.. this equals no more limp mode. yiihaa.
oh, and heres the old (70s?) gilson I bought a couple of weeks ago. it actually has a sticker that adds 5 hp!

 

[poliq]

just bought a set of new wheels. pics will be up in next post!
