Hello! Im not new to the forum, i used to own a mk5 ibiza 1.2 tsi fr and have now got rid and got myself a mk3 leon 2.0 tdi fr (184) ... I never left my ibiza untouched and i wont be stopping now haha! Just ordered some wind deflectors, gloss black vinyl wrap to wrap around the front number plate and lower lip... Will be getting the alloys powdercoated either satin black or gloss black. Guna order a tailgate spoiler and order the back bumper with the rear twin exhaust exit and get a stainless steel cat back to go with it... Looking for a decent induction kit if anyone can recomend any? Not sure which websites to go on and look at so any opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thankyou

Welcome to the 184 club! Sounds like a good list of mods. What colour is your Leon? As far as induction kit goes, apparently a diesel is better off with a panel filter than a full induction kit. So I've heard.

Nice one. And I'll be getting a Pipercross one as I've heard good things about them. I've had my roof, mirrors, grill surround, number plate backing and lower lip wrapped. Also rear windows tinted. And added a TRC splitter. A Rieger diffuser with a custom cat back twin exit exhaust. And a DTUK tuning box.

Nice mate! Do u have any pics? ... Which exhaust did u go for like company? Whats the rieger diffuser? That may be a cheaper option for me rather than buying the full back bumper. Also what power are u putting down with the tuning box?

I went to EMP Performance in St. Albans. The diffuser cost £150 from Rieger. And the box gives it 240hp and 500Nm torque

Cars beautiful mate!... Thanks for that think ill have a look at that diffuser. Is the tuning box actually decent tho mate? Only reason i ask is because i got one before for my 1.2tsi and it was really bad. Had bad turbo lag and kept jumping...

Cheers pal. There's loads of people on here that use the same box as me that will have nothing but good to say. Then there's people who have never had one and love to slag them off. Then there's one guy who's had one and had problems but he probably just had a dodgy motor. DTUK aren't a cheap eBay fake. They are properly made. And the maps are made by Shark Performance as they work closely together. These tuning boxes pretty much diminish turbo lag. The power is there all the time! And the throttle response is great. Also since having it I gain an extra 100 miles per tank.

+1 on the Rieger parts! The quality of their stuff is great and comes with a good price. I have a Leon 280 and bought a front splitter from them!
