Dan's Seat Leon Cupra, Emocion Red

[dannychapman2007]

Hi Guys,

My name's Dan, been a VAG owner for a few years having quite a few cars so far, enjoy them while I can!
My most recent car was a 2.0TDI Audi A3 S-Line as I thought I'd be travelling a lot more with a new job but it turns out I've stayed in my current job so work is only about 6 miles for me.
I played about with the A3 for a bit, had a remap and spacers etc but there was nothing else I fancied doing it. It wasn't sporty enough for me to be honest and the only other mod I wanted to do was the LED Bi-Xenons, but at nearly £1k just for the parts and new MOT laws, I didn't bother. I had a bit of finance on the Audi and wanted to pay it off so I went on the search for a new car. Test drove BMWs, Minis etc and decided that no matter what life will bring, I'll always have a Seat.
I test drove an Ibiza Cupra but couldn't get on with it so went back to the Leon. I originally looked at the PD170 like I had before (miss my black 550 far too much) and with it only being a short distance to work, I'd have DPF troubles before long. So I settled on another Cupra thus paying off the majority of my finance and leaving me free to do as I please.

So without further ado, here she is. Possibly the most specced out Leon I've had to date!

The car's on a 07 plate with only 35k on the clock, full Seat service history and better still from my local garage. Standard items include;

Rainsensor,
Auto lights,
Sunroof,
Parking sensors,
Bluetooth,
Auto Dim interior mirror,

And all the standard Leon goodies like powerfold mirrors, Bi-Xenons etc.
I'm very pleased with the car, dealer offered a full tank of fuel and the gloss black grill and the deal was done.....the next day I was ordering parts haha.

Also some of these which will be going on next week :)


and one of these which I missed from my Audi;


Gave the rather tired looking pedals a good clean, although they could do with being replaced as they're seriously scratched!

Haha thanks Mike :) Looks like a much more livelier forum!

So that's how she stands at the mo!

Spacers will be on next week, and hopefully yellow calipers.
Had a good read tonight and also next week, I'll have a look at my cam follower and probably replace the PCV valve as I think it maybe the issue to my jerkyness when cold, unless the dealer does it before me

Hi Dan, nice to see you back in a Cupra again! The new one looks a beauty with a really good spec. Hopefully this one will stay with you longer than 6 months!

[dannychapman2007]

Cheers Andy! Yeah, this will be staying due to the GF having her way with a house this year! Best get all the mods done first! haha

More modding today :D

First up, this idea I stole from Mike (TFSI_Mike) :D Think it's brilliant, would have never thought to put it there but glad I did as it suits the black headlining very well!
The wire is all hidden behind the plastics etc but need to plump it in this week from the fuse box;



Next up was one of these trusty ol' things....extra 10bhp I heard ;) Yellow to match my theme;



Didn't get round to removing the dealer sticker, but I will this week :)

Then decided to have a play with some vinyl, now I'm not the greatest when it comes to vinyl.....which is why I'm gonna spray it haha, doesn't look too bad for now :)

Good work Danny

Im goin to put a switch in I think next to the headlight switch so I don't hammer the battery of the Nav.

Cheers Mike, how have you actually wired the charger? I was gonna wire another 12v socket to the fuse panel?

I wired (Soldered) a female 12v Socket into the fuse compartment so I didnt have to solder onto or butcher the Tom Tom plug.
