Idrees Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 So the Demo GT was not practical for my weekly motorway commutes and general local driving, so I've got myself this little beast.My brother bought this around 6 months ago, but over the last month he has wanted a Starlet GT/Civic Vtec after driving my CRX and my GT. So I gave him the GT in p/x for this, as I've always had a soft spot for these. He very nearly bought a Golf TDI before he bought this but I didn't allow him. The car, it's a Seat Leon Cupra 150 (1.9 TDI). Covered 107k miles, FSH and it passed MOT with flying colours last week. It came with the 18" Team Dynamics alloys and M3 wing mirrors when he bought it, then he had the windows tinted and HID kit fitted a couple of months ago.The first thing on my to do list is get the wing mirrors replaced with OEM ones, and maybe change the wheels to a set of Cupra R alloys or even BBS Replicas if funds allow. She also needs to be lowered but I'm not sure about slamming it yet as I cover a lot of miles and appreciate the ride comfort!If funds allow I'd love a pair of Cupra R bumpers (or just the front), wind deflectors, lowering springs, Lenso BBS style wheels and a cheeky little remap. Not sure about spending on it though as the money could be better spent on the Demo Glanza! Idrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 looks very nice mate, i wouldnt even biother lowering to honest just keep it comfy and sensible for the long miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Looks good mateIts like the Demo Glanza's big brother Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i like it mate, defo change the mirrors though, but id leave the alloys on, its just your daily at the end of the day(and not a bad daily at all) and the idea is to spend your money on your good car and let this one do the leg work!

Dan507 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Looks good. so you swaped the demo GT for this? Fairplay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice man, I have you to thank for convincing me to get one OEM mirrors are nice. If you get it lowered let us know how it rides! I wanna get ours remapped but I don't want the clutch to give out Do you run it on cheapo Diesel? Ours seems to run nicer on Shell (not bothered with the V-Power diesel, just regular) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Spend the money on the glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Nice looking.Cupra R front splitter FTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 I run it on Shell diesel Amjad, I use Shell fuel for all my cars even if it's not V power.Starbuck great minds think alike, I'll keep my eyes peeled for a Cupra R bumper in yellow otherwise I'll get a Cupra R splitter (eventually). Nothing will be happening any time soon as I'm just enjoying the ride and clocking up some miles! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Have a soft spot for these in yellow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 A small updateI haven't done much apart from drive, service and clean this car since owning it but she has been treated to these wheels that I really wanted. They are genuine Seat wheels that come on the Cupra R. I part ex'd the Team Dynamics for these and I think I got a pretty good deal.I also picked up a pair of OEM wing mirrors last night, they will either be fitted tonight or on the weekend.
