What model Seat Leon did I see?

[iamrcb]

While out running this morning I passed a nice looking seat Leon.

It looked fairly recent, I assumed it was a Cupra, so all the body kit bits, but it just said Leon at the back and had a central exhaust. It did have a TDI badge on the front wing, the one with a red D and I

It wasn't an FR, too much of a curpa-like body kit on it. Different exhaust.

The pictures of the Leon supercopa show two exhausts at the rear, one each side of the car, so it doesn't seem to be that either.

Any ideas?

Leon with a BTCC kit? Common as muck here in the North of Ireland

As above a Mk2 with the BTCC kit, pretty common.

Replica Cupra k1 ?

Is that BTCC kit a manufacturer thing or aftermarket? Did it have a sub-model name?

It was a dealer fit option IIRC.

So was the kit from this

Availabe to fit on to any other Leon?

Probably a k1 if it was the old shape, they are doing something similar to the latest shape, mentioned previously by another poster

Won't be a btcc kit they have 2 exhaust. Sounds like a standard diesel with an aftermarket Cupar kit.

You can get a centre exit set up with the BTCC kit.


As per though, probably a base spec Leon with the kit fitted, though could well have been an FR. A few Reference Sports about with this option..

The K1 is petrol and says CUPRA on the rear
