what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Craig.]

My car is still in car hospital BUT I have started collecting bits and bobs to do to it when it comes back...

The latest order includes some of the aero parts for under the car in the form of undertrays!

I already have the main full engine undertray here waiting for when the car comes home. This is to protect the new engine as much as possible whilst not adding too much weight. I may change the aero undertray for the reinforced tray in the near future but undecided.

Nice! I've heard that 3Q0199110B is not P&P and requires drilling holes. Please do some photos if possible from the installation process! I've treated myself already with few new undertrays but was a bit skeptical about installing this one.

Please keep us updated, I wonder what you findings will be after the install (noise reduction and/or fuel saving)

Yesterday I've soundproofed roof and finished replacing headliner to the dark one. I believe that photos are worth a thousand words so here they are!

Spoiler: Photos

That is entirely correct. From what I have seen, 3 mount holes need to be added but I haven't looked at it myself yet as my car is still not ready to collect so will confirm once I have eyes on my subframe.

I do plan to replace my subframe so will be interesting to compare too.

That's impressive! Thanks!

Any info on the Aluminium subframes such as Audi S3?

Had to drill 3 holes in my cupra, the middle one is a bit close to the steering rack, so put something in between.

Have you got some shims to ensure a tight fit to the car.

Also its a great time to do some powder coating on the sub frame
