Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 11:41 am

It is arguably the sportiest compact class offshoot of the VW Golf, and also one of the most successful imported cars on the German car market. The Seat Leon. Despite the significantly more progressive lines than those offered by a Golf, for example, the lively Spaniard is not yet especially popular when it comes to Tuning on the vehicle. In our opinion, there is a lot more potential in it, which will probably be tapped over time, because the second generation of the Leon in particular can be found cheaply on the used car market, and there is also a lot due to the current VW technology Tuning parts for the Leon. Now we're introducing you to a tuned copy that's native to the UK and named by its owner Rikki Jones Heaton has been completely revised.

Racing style in the Leon Mk2!

This very special piece of jewelry owns next to one AirLift v2 Performance Airride chassis also bronze ones OZ Superleggera alloy wheels in 18-inch format with copper-colored nuts and black tread. In our opinion, the very special rims are an absolute eye-catcher. On front spoiler from Leon Cupra Mk1, a new Grill, side skirts as well as a big one roof spoiler round off the sporty design of the stylish Catalan. There are also a few Carbon parts, such as the Door handles, the Border of the grill, and even the Wiper arms. Modifications were also made at the rear, and the Leon got a glossy black one diffuser and a new one Exhaust System with two centrally placed tailpipes in the VW R32 style.

The way food is Brakes have been revised and adapted to the enormously increased performance, which we will go into in more detail. Finally, the tail lights slightly tinted and the Seat emblems are complete blackened. Next up is even a conversion all wheel drive planned because the front-wheel drive is hopelessly overwhelmed with the enormous power of the car, according to the tuner. We are curious to see how the project will develop and we will keep you updated.

The interior has been completely modified.

The first thing to do is drop it completely new cockpit on that complete with Velvet was lined, and also a Alcantara sports steering wheel received. Also were Sport bucket seats built in by Corbeau, which convey a racing atmosphere. In the rear, the mighty red one stands out immediately Roll cage eye, which had to give way to the back seat of the nifty Golf derivative. This ensures greater rigidity of the body and is essential for use on the racetrack. The compressors for the Airride chassis housed, which sank the trunk volume to a minimum.

2-liter turbo gasoline engine with around 380 hp.

The engine has undergone a decent performance upgrade, and thanks to one, achieves one K04 turbocharger, one ECU remapping from R Tech as well as some other modifications a remarkable achievement of 377 BHP. That's roughly 380 PS. When it comes to torque, the TFSI engine with a displacement of 2 liters now generates a lot of power 545 Newton meters. This should improve the performance of the Leon, which incidentally has a Six-speed manual transmission equipped, are of a high standard.

Our conclusion on this Seat Leon:

You can clearly see the philosophy of the tuner who turns the car into one track tool want to rebuild, which can be moved in everyday life, but actually for them Racetrack is designed. Show & Shine is pretty alien to the car, because the concept was created specifically for racing, and that's Tuner Rikki Jones Heaton in our opinion, also exceptionally well done. We have of course attached a picture gallery to the article at the end so that you can marvel at the track tool.
