Selling my much-loved 2006 Seat Leon Cupra R with the BAM 1.8T engine, finished in black with black upholstery and red stitching.

Condition:
Interior:
Immaculate for its age. The seat fabric, dash, and carpets are all in excellent condition. Some minor door lining bubbling, but otherwise clean and well-kept.
Boot has original spare wheel, and all tools etc.
Exterior:
- Overall generally very good condition
- Debadged, except SEAT front and reat badges
- No front splitter (I knocked off early on, but is easy 50 replacement)
- Left and right side wheels are slightly different: left side are original finish, right side were refurbished before I bought it and are different colour/finish (I've never really noticed so I left them as they were)
- Left wing mirror does not fold in, it was replaced because someone stole the original mirrors.
- Some notable imperfections:
- Front and rear bumpers showing start of some lacquer peel
- Right door bumper scuff
- Two small bonnet dents (present when I bought it)
- Front headlights clouding
Why I'm selling:
It's time for a change after owning the same car for many years. But I've loved this car every single day I've owned it, and it's always been so much fun to drive. The Cupra R is a rare find and this with low mileage (averaging 3,000 miles per year), tasteful mods, and real character will be real joy for someone. It's still got it, a great car.
