Well the Corsa is going this week, and I seen this...



Seat Leon 1.8t
- Miltek cat-back exhaust with 4" tail pipe.
- RamAir Cold air induction kit.
- Forge FMCL007P Dump Valve.
- Aero front wipers.
- Honda S2000 aerial.
- Cupra R front splitter.
- Double gauge pod with boost and oil temp gauges.
- Revo re-map to around 220bhp.
Thoughts? Anything I need to look out for in these?

Very nice 
Common VAG problems include Door Locks not working properly (check this by double locking the car of when you drive off and the doors lock, see if any locks pop back up) and dodgy instrument clusters

Seat will have it logged on their comp so if you went in with the reg should be able to tell you whats been done.

Phoned a Seat shop but apparently it needs to be the shop where the work was done. Weird that they dont have it all stored on one database. Anyways, will see the receipts tonight

Not sure, probably, its getting the standard back in.
Plans: HIDs, de-wiper, then wait for spring and mayb lower 40mm and some rs6 alloys. We will see 
Dont think the Leon Cupra comes in a 3 door.

Nope, just 5 door. Its not the sort of car you notice it on though.
I think a Cupra R front bumper should be on the list of mods too. I really don't like the Cupra bumper.

We will see what happens, dont have the chash to do anything major till spring 
Tbh not done alot of reading up yet either, once I get in about the forums will probably see more things I want to do, and will probably change everything.
If there was one thing I learned from owning the Corsa... Try not to plan anything
