Leon Cupra Project (Round 2)

What's modified about that airbox?

put your brain into gear, smothed inside, cold air feed and green cotton panel filter, and thats the point an oem look

[paul26982]

Very happy with it, no lights on the dash or anything either, Does anyone know what this is in the 2 pics below, its in my glovebox

I had one of these and found the rear wiper really handy. The spoiler seems to push a lot of air over the rear window so didn't clear it as well as I might have hoped.

Don't most people put a Fabia wiper on as they look much tidier?

on my old pd150 cupra had the fabia estate rear wiper, dont want the same look as last time

[paul26982]

thanks for the reply, was my thoughts

[paul26982]

Fitted the Recaro's this morning, very inpressed with them, no wear rips or burns, absoloute imaculate showroom condition, didnt bother taking them or the rears as i put the 2 car seats back in. Just need A B & C pillars in black now, and roof liner re-trimmed, then practicley done for interior.

[paul26982]

Received my SEAT Sport Carbon gear knob this morning, not going to fit it until i source a Cupra R gear gaitor, the Dealers want £140 for one with the bottom plastic surround, so if anyone spots one please let me know ASAP

[paul26982]

nah! want to do things different this time, had that on my last one, had the cupra interior, hence why i went for the recaro's, just want to do things different to my previous one, theres loads more to come

[paul26982]

If all goes well should have a nice Leon Cupra R 225 steering wheel deivered on monday , never knew how hard it was to get hold of one.

[paul26982]

Received my 225 Cupra R steering wheel, was chuffed to bits as in excellent condition, will also post pics of it fitted along with a Cupra R handbrake im waiting on



Now someone just find me a gaiter and surround

There's a guy relatively local to me who specialises in GTBB conversions for the 1.8T- runs a 500bhp Ibiza Cupra race car. I can point you in his direction, he's well regarded...

that will be Bill (badger5) go to him for advice if i need it' and certain parts. he's an absoloutle top bloke, knows a very lot

[paul26982]
