What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Kevgrady]

Not today but.... Dropped my car off at the body shop last week for mirror covers, grille surround and the 'S' to be. Painted gloss black and a wheel refurb and change of colour. Pick it up and the morning and my coilovers will be delivered by dinner time. So I'll be stopping back after work to fit them and do my wheel alignment. Pictures to follow,,,,,

Quite a productive day yesterday, got my BTCC tailgate Spoiler fitted and painted a few weeks ago..

My TTRS alloys arrived on Friday and got them fitted yesterday and wrapped the front grille surround, behind the number plate etc gloss black.

This is how she looked before:








A few 'subtle' editions to bring her to this ( not that keen on the black Seat badge at the front, peoples thoughts on this? )











The front wheels seem to be sticking out of the arches but are just in line, I presume they haven't quite settled properly since they were literally on the car 10 minutes prior to those pictures being taken. Opinions on the TTRS's? C+C welcome!

I honestly preferred the original wheels, sorry to be a negative nancy! Looks nice still though, just personal preference

 

[paul_zx6r]

Definitely needs loweing, might make them look better

 

[porksword28]

I quite like the wheels! How much you pay for them? Are they brand new?

 

[porksword28]

+1 with the needs lowering a little

17" on such a large car, didn't quite look right for obvious reasons. Yep they are brand new, got them from a company in the Midlands they deal on ebay but I dealt directly.. All in with mid range tyres and delivery £560
I think perhaps because they aren't gloss black is one of the reasons why some people prefer the OEM.

Does need lowering a tad, hopefully they have settled a little since yesterday..

I'm getting my wheels refurbed tomorrow with a new set of tyres on. Anybody need a set of 225.40.r18's lots of tread on. Quite a hard compound so will last many more miles

Installed the new rear VIbe speakers, sounds lots better than standard

Keep the ttrs alloys and spray the badge and mirrors same colour as alloys

Cheers for the advice lads, I have taken the Black Wrap of the front Seat badge and it makes the front end look a lot more tidy and OEM like.

Thinking about H&Rs myself. Post a pic when they are fitted.

Removing the vinyl from the Seat Badge helped a ton I think..

I've been watching various Recaro seats on fleebay, re-trimmed they'd look spot on in my FR...That and the fact that I've realised I can't afford RS4 seats as there going for around £1700.00 gulp

Has anybody put aftermarket seats in a mk2 Leon??????????

 

[AndyG_TSi]

Took my folks to David Cook Motors, SEAT main dealer

they are due to change their car in September and I'm trying to get them out of their Ford Focus....they've had 3 in the last 9 years & into the SEAT stable with a new Mk3 Leon

I think ive persuaded them into getting a 2.0L tdi FR.......although we looked at a 1.6tdi SE which was nice
