    MK2 Leon Cupra R Wheel(s)

    I am in need of at least 1 or 2 Mk2 Leon Cupra R alloys. If anyone has any they want to get rid of please let me know. Willing to pay a fair price.

    JHox's Leon FR CR170 (Lenny)

    Almost 2 years later and many happy miles of driving thought I ought to update this. The car remained unchanged until the end of 2019 when I picked up a set of the best wheels you can get for a Leon 1p imo, Cupra R alloys shod with new Goodyear Eagle F1 rubber! In black which offset nicely...

    MK2 Inertia Switch

    Couldn't see anything electrical that had disconnected but It was dark whilst waiting to get the car recovered to the garage. It is getting looked at tomorrow I think first port of call will be diagnostics then check battery and connections. It is strange how much havoc it seems to have...

    MK2 Inertia Switch

    Thanks for looking. Yes no airbags deployed it doesn't even sound quite right when trying to turn over. I'm worried this is going to cost a lot to fix and chances of successfully claiming anything from Northamptonshire county council seem very slim since they have repaired it in less than 48...

    MK2 Inertia Switch

    Hello all, the other night I hit a huge pothole that not only flatted one of my new tyres on my nice new 19 inch Cupra R wheels I just purchased but also caused an array of error messages (ESC, ABS and brakes visit workshop error) and causing the car to no longer start. I'm wondering if the...

    Cupra Brake Thread Gone Missing

    Useful responses guys thanks My fronts are up for new pads and discs soon thought I may as well upgrade to the larger set up whilst i'm at it. Might be interesting to see what the insurance company thinks of this 'mod'. Also what's your opinion on buying used calipers, carriers etc. off ebay...

    Cupra Brake Thread Gone Missing

    Sorry if I'm missing something but... There is a very useful thread on here listing the different brake specs, maintenance, upgrades etc. https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/guide-mk2-leon-brakes-info-upgrades-and-maintanance.192247/ On that thread there used to be a link to a very...

    What colour alloys for my black leon FR?

    I'm in a similar predicament I'm leaning towards bronzey colour but like you say not sure how it will look on the Ibera's. Would be great if someone had done it before and has pics but I don't think anyone has

    I believe the Golf Mk5 is more comparable to the Leon Mk2 under the skin but don't take my word for it EDIT from the wiki page:

    Glossifying the rear diffuser FR/ Cupra

    Yeah I figured that could be the case + I think you get a much better finish from a proper spray job. I imagine would be somewhere around £100? if you did the prep yourself. I don't suppose many people have gone DIY with gloss black aerosol cans as it's nigh on impossible to get a good gloss...

    JHox's Leon FR CR170 (Lenny)

    Now when I look back the standard leons have a very high ride height exacerbated by the 'chin up' shape and small size of the front bumper. The Cupra is slightly lower. Nearing 80,000 miles the old shocks were due to be replaced and the ride has been much improved. Edit: ^ the oil wasn't...

    JHox's Leon FR CR170 (Lenny)

    First year of ownership has been great, the diesel torque is addictive although not quite as exciting as the petrol equivalent is at the top end. It's fun to scare your passengers with a 2.5k revs 2nd gear pull. In December when my first insurance period was up it was time to 'mod' ! With much...

    JHox's Leon FR CR170 (Lenny)

    I'm using mostly AG stuff at the moment Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection can't face the price of a carnuba wax just yet especially with a white car. Other than that meguiars clay bar, autosol for the exhaust tips also use a autofinesse drying microfibre which is very good. Need to...
