My black magic seat leon, smoothed and now on air!

[nick_c_1986]

hey guys

have been saving for quite a while to get some extra work done to the leon,
got the car back from the paint shop last week and the week before that i had new suspension fitted. Unfortunately i havent got my merc split rims on, but what you think??

spot the work i've had done

the last pic is the car in the paint shop, unfortunately i found a crack in tha back of one of the rear wheels, so its in for repair, so i've got my other wheels on golf gti mk5.

going for the cleaned/smooth approach?

 

[nick_c_1986]

[kenny_fr]

Agreed

pricey job?

 

[nick_c_1986]

i'm only 22 so at the moment leaving the performance mods for when i can be insured for them!

everything is fully declared as in this modern day not worth the risk.

Side rub strips were a pain! 12 holes either side!!!! u need a very good welder as to not warp the panels.

the car is literally on the floor!

not sure if its the first but shes on air ride!!!

I cant believe what you have done ... shes on the floor!
is this MK5 GTi rims?? if how does it fit the leon (5x100) and the Golf (5x112) ?

 

[C-LEON]

Their after market rims so you can get them in 5x100..

[AdamRoutley]

[olaf]

Out of interest what set up have you got for opening the boot? Any issues with it?

Looking really good!

 

[daboy3000]

Very nice, love the rims in the first pics. Looks very low.

 

[BigWill]

Mint looking car mate.
The first set of wheels remind me of the konininininninsegggy
Don't ask me why

cheers the comments guys, just got back from bugjam! great show! always fantastic. one of the only Seats there though. The wheels are aftermarket, they were my winter wheels but since putting them on with the new way the car is i like them much more. However the rim split rims are very very phat! 18 by 9.5 on the rears with the euro stretched look!
will get some good photos with them on up as soon as i get the wheels back.

The boot mechanism is half sorted. Brought a descent solenoid for the boot pop and now just need a linear actuator to sort the actually opening the boot up. i'll explain it all if need be when i have mine done.

Very happy with the smoothed look.
