Leon Cupra R
« on: 20 February 2012, 09:34 »
I have always liked them and been thinking about a getting a new car recently so decided to test drive one on Saturday and I loved it. Suspension is nice and firm nice amount of power but remap filter and exhaust will be on the cards once I get it. So the search will begin soon for either a grey or red one  :cool:

Cool story bro!

They dont make 270bhp from a remap and induction kit like people think, nice motors though.

eh? why the wing and bonnet to sort out a water leak? they are normally through the door seals.

good choice, the grey one looks better than red. dont get yellow as they suffer big time from paint fade and its a respray job.

It's not the doors, pollen filter, grommet for bonnet release or the box that houses the wiring loom from bay to dash...it's leaking inside the channel from the windscreen to drain...theres an access hole behind the wing...to get the wing off the front bumper needs to come off (so I'm told anyway)

Some people have got around the 270bhp mark with a badger 5 80mm tip and remap...find it hard to believe myself
