Deposit taken on the miltek so next bits are:

New System by Nige @ BCS with a blueflame decat downpipe (as soon as Nige has the new tailpipe in stock)


Going for the dual center tail pipes, or stock location?

OEM Cupra Oval  :happy2:

They are wanting a centre exit Leon to develop on for a discounted system.

A before shot for reference....



the main part of the leon dash is in two parts.  The rear part nearest the windscreen and down the sides (where the fuse box is) is plastic & I eventually want it the same finish as the above flocked bits.  The rest is a carbon effect finish thats a little bit spongy to prod, that will be staying as it is...

Do you know the part number for the radio fascia or the colour?

Micro update;

NQSBBK is refurbed and for sale.

Neuspeed arb fitting kit is here so ARB will be fixed on Saturday

350mm discs are in for powdercoating and hopefully fitted Saturday with 996Turbo calipers

Bought Peloquin Diff. Probably fit in July

Discovered the German dealer who replaced my front bumper didn't replace my cold air feed  :fighting: :fighting:

Waiting for BCS to get oval tail pipe in stock to have 3" system made to match my 3" decat DP

Think that's it  :happy2:

Ah yes right enough lol!

Have you saw the BCS downpipe and sports cat Mike?

I've just bought my leon and get it at the end of the month and I was thinking about it. I'm more familiar with them for the Focus RS Mk1 and the sports cat for them is excellant.

I can't decide to go remap and CIA or remap and sports cat, any thoughts yourself?
