For all those who look at the new SEAT Leon Cupra and think this needs a look to match its Nurburgring-ripping performance, JE Design comes with a solution, which is offered in the form of a widebody kit.
The tuner, which has always had a passion for the Spanish automaker’s offsprings, has given the hot hatch quite an appearance boost, bringing it closer to the Leon Cup Racer.

The car is gifted with a three-piece bumper attachment set, beefy front and rear wheel arches, side skirt add-on elements that bring a faux carbon fiber look, as well as a complex diffuser element for the rear apron. The kit can be yours for EUR 6,188 (US$ 8,410 at the current exchange rates).

For an extra EUR 3,570, JE Design can wrap the car in the Graphite Matte hue you see above. Oh and let’s not forget about the twin tailpipes at the rear, which come in a 100 x 85 mm size. Note that the aforementioned prices do not include installation and painting.

JE Design also has something for LED addicts, offering an extra turn signal lamp for the rear wheel arch. They even went as far as installing a Formula One-style, FIA-certified LED rain light, but this is not to be used on the street.

All the aforementioned goodies come to complement JE Design’s previous offer for the Leon Cupra. We are talking about an ECU remap that takes the two-liter engine from 280 hp and 380 Nm to 350 hp and 440 Nm. Thus, the 0 to 100 km/h 962 mph) sprint is cut from 5.7 to 5.4 seconds, while top speed sits at 250 km/h (155 mph).

The connection to the road can be established via a KW coilover suspension, which works with the Cupra’s factory adaptive dampers and brings the compact 45 mm closer to the road. Moreover, JE Design offers 19-inch wheels with Dunlop Sport Maxx GT rubber
