Craig's Seat Leon Cupra ( Wheels are done for xmas..)

[Craig]

From the start

I decided on buying a Leon when i went to edition 38 last year, as i fell in love with the aggresive look of the leon, and in december 07 i decided to go for one, i searched around for quite a while. I wanted a yellow one :p but the closest one was in Scotland, Stirling, so i decided to look closer to home.

I found this one at the car people in wakefield, and decided to go have a look, i went a test drive and loved every bit of it. So i put a deposit down and the week after xmas i picked it up,

Pics of when i first got it

I then went on and decided to upgrade the headlights, so i ordered a 6000k Xenon kit and fit it straight away. What a vast improvement they are!

After having the Leon for a couple of month i started making subtle changes like aeroflat wipers etc

Then i decided i didnt like the rear exhaust pipes, so i wanted a different tip, i went for the oval tip,

Then i decided to upgrade the sounds, so i fit my old alpine headunit to the Leon.

Which brings us up to today, when these arrived...

Nice Car Mate, Really Like The Seat

[Shellz]

Looks really nice! :)

[Craig]

Last nite i got round to fitting a new panel filter, i went for the green filter, turbo spools up alot easier now, as airflow seems smoother.

[Ferg]

That's very nice ...

[Ocego_VTR]

sounds great

nice car you have there matey!

[Craig]

Got some ideas in the pipeline for future, cheers guys

[Luke]

I was thinking of getting a Green filter for mine as I have got it booked in for service next month.

Has it increased MPG?

[Craig]

not really just about same luke

[Skorpion]

I want one of these!

Car looks awesome Craig!

[Craig]

Breathing Mods sorted, another check off the list..


Airbox lid smoothed, a popular mod with the leons, smoother airflow, you can see the smooth sides...

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn251/Craigbxc/01102008130-1.jpg


Then in with the new Green panel filter...

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn251/Craigbxc/01102008125.jpg

:y:

[Mark51]

notice any difference?

[Craig]

Yes mark, turbo spools up alot easier now, as airflow seems smoother.

[Marshy]

Nice work mate, whats next on the to-do list?

[Craig]

When i have some money, i have a plan for the wheels, then uprated clutch and remap, for the big bits, as for small bits a pillar guage on a boost guage to be fit.

[Craig]

I want one of these!

Car looks awesome Craig!

Get one bought then :p

[Wayne]

I love this leon:y: gorgeous colour, like what you've done to it so far:) my dad might be getting one of these in the near future:)

[Craig]

[Craig]

Hey up guys need your opinion on wheel options?

Im getting my wheels powdercoated over xmas,

I have a few options in mind,

As it stands now....


http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y175/craig17furio/Untitled-1.jpg

Number 1

Anthracite

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y175/craig17furio/gti026os5.jpg

Number 2

Black

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y175/craig17furio/STSherb001.jpg

Number 3 (on grey though)

White

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y175/craig17furio/5.jpg


Numbers please peeps

[dannygti]

2 thanks...

it would look good with black wheels and the lower 1/4 of the car black.... ubber stealth.

[Craig]

What do u mean lower part of the car black lol?

[Jackman]

Looks great so far mate!

I think black gets my vote to!

Always find this colour car difficult to choose wheels colours for!

[Wayne]

Number 1 anthracite, i feel they suit the colour of the leon much better than black or white.

[furiomike]

like it very much, and i'd go black with the wheels.

[Craig]

My main choice was anthracite but i may be swayed :p

Or something abit special like this one :p

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l53/dridgley84/dean11.jpg

[Jackman]

Now that i do like!

Does the bonnet tempt you aswell ?

:p

[furiomike]

My main choice was anthracite but i may be swayed :p

Or something abit special like this one :p

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l53/dridgley84/dean11.jpg

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b383/kyros_uk/leon.jpg

[Craig]

haha cheers mike, but what wheels are those may i ask?

[furiomike]

haha cheers mike, but what wheels are those may i ask?

yeah those are boss redline's rather than standard.

[Craig]

hmm im liking anthracite with a red lip

[furiomike]

does go nice on silver/metallic grey cars. compliments the badges and callipers too.

[EUAN201191]

Looks great mate Think the wheels with the red lip will look brilliant

[Karl]

My main choice was anthracite but i may be swayed :p

Or something abit special like this one :p

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l53/dridgley84/dean11.jpg

HOLY HELL!

Please dont eat me Mr Mean Leon.
