    Hi there,

    Well I traded in my 10 plate bocanegra after worrying about the reliability of it with misfires etc. Got this 57 plate grey Leon Cupra and love it. Naturally, there was no way I could leave the car standard so being the crazy fool that I am, I took out a loan to buy all the goodies I wanted to go stage 2+ on the car. yeah I know, I am mad but hey, i am a car nut and love modding them.

    So this is how the car stood when I bought her just over a month ago:

    First thing I did was get a short stubby aerial and golf foot rest:

    In the meantime the following bits arrived that I had ordered:

    APR HPFP
    Southbend stage 3 drag clutch and SMF
    FORGE short shifter
    FORGE twintercooler
    ITG induction kit
    TOYO PROXIES
    BBS LM reps 18″ x 8J
    Weitech Hicon GT coilovers
    H&R ARB’s front and rear
    Milltek TBE exhaust

    Then last week I got ansy and tired of waiting so I decided to fit the new wheels, HPFP, cam follower, coillies and ARB’s. So this is how she sits currently:

    I certainly do remember you mate. Remember you just having the exhaust done I think!

    Thank you very much! It’s having an LCR engine installed by Shark Performance. Can’t wait to drive it again!!

    WOW!!!! Been far too long since I have been on here hahahahaha. Not much has changed in the car since I had it, running stage 2+ now but not had her on the rollers as I need a new clutch. Stupidly sold the southbend kit :bash:

    I have since also fitted my new wheels and slapped the winter rubbers on at the same time as i am off to Czech for Christmas with the inlaws :crying: So this is what she looks like now, I think I will get the wheels plasti dipped in the new year too. Will get an anthracite colour made up and do them myself methinks…..
