Been on here for a few months but finally got my Leon Cupra R at the weekend. I bought it off a pal that's had it for the past 4 years. It's in good condition but needs a bit of TLC in areas.
It's probably been washed about twice in those 4 years aswell so a good clay and polish/wax will be one of my first things to do, the interior was filthy aswell (he used it when he went mountain biking so you can imagine what it would be like)
Anyway i'm looking to get this back to it's full glory over the next few months with the small bits that need a bit of attention and also replace any missing parts and get it mechanically perfect.
It's due a cambelt (on 46k and just over 5 years old) and i'll also be getting new discs and pads all round ordered this week aswell.
Theres nothing else major up with it but it's the small bits that stop it from being a really nice example. It's virtually standard apart from a cut down front plate, tinted windows and tinted sunstrip (which i usually don't like but works well for some reason), Skoda rear wiper and front and rear strut braces.
Main to do list atm:
Major clean inside and shampoo seats (water marks all over them)
Give the paintwork/body a bit of TLC (no dents or scratches just lost a bit of it's shine)
New splitter (missing)
Fit new discs and pads (CRN discs and DS2500 pads)
Cambelt/Aux belt/Waterpump (will book into Star Performance)
New badges all round (not into pink badges
)
New number plates front and back
New wheel centre caps (missing)
Refurb Brembos (again not into pink ha)
Clean engine bay (filthy, prob not been cleaned since new !!)
It came with both a double and single DIN dash so i'll need to decide what i'm going to do headunit wise aswell.
After all that i will start thinking about some subtle mods like HID's and a Forge 007p DV.
Anyway i've babbled enough, heres a few (crap) pics courtesy of my iFail
and a quick pic of it with my other project (soon to be track prepped clio 172 cup)
