The fuel economy is impressive, I managed this on the way down to the meet at Donington. It was motorway speeds without trying.

@Kirky looking good :)

Shame Seat went with foglights on the facelift Cupra, the pre facelift looks much better without the foglights, don't see the point of them anyway.

Also interested in where you can buy them if they're pre cut. :)

Fitted my gas bonnet struts, the instructions has them to the outside but I felt they looked better on the inside of the engine bay.

The only thing I’ve noticed is they don’t half spring the boot lid open, a bit too harshly in my opinion.

I got them from the group buys page on here where you just email Andrey in Russia who sends them over, cost just over £40.

I've just ordered mine, I'm perhaps more excited for this mod than I should be.
How long did it take to arrive?

Does anyone know if you can get a tinting/blackout kit for the front fogs on a pre facelift Leon FR? I’ve seen people have them for the new Cupra

Re the boot lid, does it now open fully from the remote unlock? And what effect does it have on closing, harder or easier? I find on the mk3 I have to really slam the boot down or do it in 2 go's, which I didn't have to on the old mk2

So was I! I thought they came with some sort of seat/Leon/cupra graphic because they were ordered through this site.

I bought them last Thursday/Friday and they arrived yesterday.

Like I said they do spring the bonnet open quite harshly so could do with being a bit softer sprung but nice and cheap little mod. :)

I haven’t changed the boot struts, sorry if my post indicated otherwise.

On that though my boot shuts real easy as standard..

I have done the boot lid and yes it does open with the key, it is quite difficult to close but I've gotten used to it. The misses on the other hand complains bitterly about it. I have however recently popped a clip in the trim on one handle by pulling it too hard. So now I use the other handle I would recommend doing it every day of the week.
