what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Maypack]

Had the 50p sized firework debris caused dent removed from my roof. Luckily the paint wasn’t broken and a Paintless Dent Repair was completed.

Second lockdown in Greece and plenty of time to spare on the Cupra. So I just started with a deep wheels off-detailing/paint correction/ceramic coating and since I had the wheels off I couldn't resist repainting the calipers and getting rid of the hideous RS logo which kept on messing with my ocd. Not a professional level job but pretty good for now.

Leon’s not been getting much use lately but had a fun drive along the Yorkshire Dales roads in an XC60. A lot more fun than you’d think

Fitted a new rear light cluster after the old one decided to crack.
Also fitted some door latch covers.

Fitted some mudflaps!

I know not everyone is a fan of them but living in Scotland where there is either grit on the roads or you're on some gravely B road it helps protect the car

ebay...£9.39 and I'm actually very impressed.
No fittings but didn't matter as I used the screws that hold on the plastic trim in the wheel arch

No worries Rob.

When you fit them I used the two screws that are there and if you pull back the inner plastic when you have the screws out you'll see another hole at the top you can use to add an additional fixing at the top

 

[rob280]

Cheers buddy. Thanks once again.

I put these "aero" parts under my Leon ST:

These are the rear exhaust tunnel cover, rear lower suspension arm cover and the Golf 8 axle beam cover.

Rear exhaust tunnel cover fitted:

Suspension cover+ axle beam cover fitted:

Golf 8 axle beam cover(fits like a glove!!)

I haven't yet seen any improvements in consumption, but there's less audible road noise in the rear of the car, which is a good thing!!

Are these plug&play? What bolts did you use? It would be nice if you could share some part numbers! Tx!

It's plug and play for the most part. Copy paste, from a very interesting GolfMK7 forum post:

Thanks a lot! That's very interesting. Unfortunately it wouldn't fit on a Cupra with the independent rear suspension.

Check the topic I linked, there's a lot of stuff (even more!!) for the multilink suspension, it's identical to the GTI

I will check with ETKA. Tx!
