Yep, they needed a refurb. A joke and impulse choice led to them being that colour (much like many's first child!). It's better than following the trend of keeping them a standard colour, or anthracite, or black *yawn*.
Putting what I said BACK into context... I'd rather spend more time driving it and enjoying it than being anal about things that don't really matter.
Seb.... Shut up  mwah x

Cheers bud. The 206 was a test run of modifying I think, the leon is having much much more research done before any modifications are carried out.

They are mate, until you rock your car and the marshmellows for tyres you've got keep it rocking for a fair while after 
Small update 
Whilst I'm working away from home in the week, a friend needed a car as his was going to Forge Motorsport for a few bits :tongue: so I let him borrow my LCR. Not something I'd normally do but he was a bit stuck and is a SEAT Master Technician so he gave it a going over whilst he had it. Aaaand sorted out the badges for me and replaced my centre caps too
Seb and Hilla popped over today to clean the cars / have lowering springs fitted / strip weight from my LCR and generally a**e about for the day  thanks for coming round guys, was good fun!!
Anyway, enough talk, more photo's!
New Centre Caps
No rear trim / interior
Front is still mostly in though. this will be sorted in the near future
Shots of new badges / general redness
Alot of people say about removing rear seats etc being completely pointless. But, we removed the rear bench and backrests, a few bits of plastic trim, seatbelts and seatbelt clips, spare wheel and jack / emergency kit and not much else... Saved 55.3 Kg's. It's helped me locate a new rattle which appears to be the top mount for the rear suspension, a minor thing that will be sorted next week and has helped me pinpoint an annoying boot rattle. The exhaust soundtrack is much better and it does feel a little quick to accelerate (although this could just be because its noisier now!). Feels like my 206 handling wise (not a bad thing), but alot quicker

Make no mistake, its a bit lardy weighing it at about 1350kg standard compared to my 206's 1020kg, but it does have better handling, accelaration and braking power. Just need to get it down a bit more the 207's lardy too in comparision (1270kg I've found?)
I've decided the route I'll be taking with this project too.

The Full spare is because a steely or spacesaver won't clear the brembo's  they're massive lol.
This one will be getting a cage, and some plastic windows, and a few other bits too

I got on really well with it, I'm going back later in the year after I've done a few decent modifications to see if I can improve my time. Got under the 10minute barrier on my second lap which I was happy with. Kept up with a new GTR for a bit on there too Got overtaken by the 'Ring Taxi (507bhp M5 anyone?) lol. I'd live there if I could, the atmosphere and general ambience of the place is like nothing I've experienced before.
