Cheers, Not just skirts though.
Full BTCC Front bumper skin, rear bumper skin, skirts and tailgate spoiler.
Oh! and a Dual exit Stainless rear backbox from Ebay for 50% the price of an OE Seat mild steel one. Now with a SilverSurfer modification to get it to fit better ;)

Bytes 17-09-2013 09:57 AM

From http://www.seataccessories.co.uk/ who I found online, but then turned out to just happen to be my local SEAT dealer (who I nearly bought a 2010 White kitted FR from the week before)

That's the site I was looking at last week. Did the bumper come complete with the grilles etc?

Yes, comes with everything in 4 boxes, 2 of which are HUGE.
I had it delivered to the bodyshop they use, as they kit up a few for the forecourt.

The only extra bits I supplied were new number plates, Cupra front grill (deletes the chrome surround) and Dual exit exhaust (the bumper is marked on the inside for cuts to suite standard exit, centre exit or dual exit)
I saw it pre-painted and it's a good quality bit of kit. Certainly convinced me it's not worth spending £695 on the Ebay fibreglass copies.

Twin-Exit exhaust was from here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-LEON-...#ht_920wt_1018

It did need a tweak of the brackets to get it to sit closer to the body, but the brackets are removable, so easy enough to adjust.

If you end up going for the kit call them and speak to Carl or Steve who man the service desk and run the website.

Excellent, think I've found my Christmas present to myself, lol

Looks great - just needs a vtec engine now :ok:

Lucky 18-09-2013 11:11 AM

Very nice Scott. Think you have the best of both worlds there.:ok:

Scott.T 19-09-2013 09:12 PM

1st and 2nd gear are pretty pointless now trying to put down 355lb/ft at 2700rpm , even in the dry.
It's all over pretty quick though and a very different driving style is required compared to the Subaru.

Bolesroor 19-09-2013 09:19 PM

Wow, very impressive :ok:

Steve_PPP 19-09-2013 09:31 PM

Thats certainly a bundle more torque after the map, must seen a very fast road car now. Crazy when 3rd gear upwards the diesel pulls harder than the scoob!

Are 1st and 2nd gear not torque-limited on these then? On the mondeo it seems i get about 50% of peak torque to protect the gearbox, it only opens fully up in 3rd.

2nd certainly has some pull so I don't think that's torque limited.
1st is over too quickly to tell and besides it just flashes the traction control light which crudely cuts drive.

19" Alloy's and new Pagid 312mm Disks/Pads (rears to be done next week as needed a caliper rewind tool)

Not a lot, got it how I want it now and it will stop me staring at every other BTCC kitted Leon on the road, and looking on Bartlett's SEAT website.

Done the rear disks/pads today.

Might take the 'L E O N' badge off the back so that it looks cleaner and I can DA/Detail polish the tailgate better.

Bolesroor 23-09-2013 05:27 PM

:10: That looks really nice Scott! :10:

Ginola 10-11-2013 11:01 PM

That's some bonkers front wheel torque :)

Scott.T 22-02-2015 07:40 PM

SOLD

I'm sure the new 'temporary' owner will be along soon in the For Sale Section.
But only after it's 'ticked his box' and run out of fuel.
Being a Diesel it may take a little longer than usual.

Steve_PPP 22-02-2015 08:17 PM

lol, gone to Rob then?
