Speeeeed Blue :-)
« on: December 27, 2011, 08:48:09 am »
Hard to believe, but almost had this thing a year and a half already.

Detail: MY11 Leon Cupra
Options: Speed Blue Paint, Tech Pack, Black Wheels, Aero Skirts, Aero Spoiler, Mud Flaps
Additions: LCR Rear Diffuser, Milltek LCR Exhaust, KW V3 Coilovers, LED Sidelights
Modifications: Black wrapped front bumper lip. Removed front CUPRA badge. Switched off cornering fogs and DRL's

I am quite fortunate in that I have 3 sets of wheels and luckily no 19's with elastic band rubber;

White with summer tyres



Black with winter tyres


Lightweight wheels with 888's




It's different from my old 2007 Leon Cupra - the facelift has pro's and con's compared to the Pre facelift.

Anyway, enjoy :driver:

Going down the same route as the last one Al?

Have you wished you tried something different or has the facelift been enough to keep you interested?

By the way, looking great in a lovely color and jammy sod with the wheel collection!

Hi Mike,

I miss the old one a lot as it was heavily modified. This one isn't. I put on the coils and have some big VWR big brakes to be fitted.

Still have every single part from the old car - may buy an early MK2 LC at some point to make in to a track car when they are cheap enough :)

Also want to put on the under car mods - you got the list of parts I need bud?

I don't mate but I found all the part numbers in the underbody aero mods thread on here easily enough.

Putting your mods back on a track Cupra would be awesome, just add lexan windows, lightweight battery and carbon bonnet and flllllllyyyyy!  :evilgrin:

If you end up going down a different route there's some one here interested in your Diff   :wink:

I have the lightweight battery already ;)

The windows, seats harnesses and cage are all I would need. I even have a 2000 mike old Sachs kit ready to go in!

Will need to check th part numbers on here for the Aero mods. Do you feel they are worthwhile? What benefits have they given?

When I fitted them (large front one, under side skirt triangles & under rear arm ones) I noticed my avg Mpg on a regular autobahn journey climbed to higher figures quicker . Also seemed to be quieter pottering around.

I need to replace or repair the large under tray as I cracked it on a gate stopper.
