Building upon their five previous Seat Leon styling kits in various forms, JE Design has announced yet another new styling package for Seat's recently updated Leon.

The company starts out by offering an extensive aerodynamic body kit that consists of a new front spoiler (€299), aggressive side skirts (€299), and a bold rear apron in mock carbon fiber (€349). Should that fail to spark your interest, JE Design also offers a massive rear wing (€459), a matt black grille (€119), "headlights masks" (€89), and a hood scoop (€149).

To give the Leon a sporty stance, JE Design offers a sport spring lowering kit (€159) that reduces the ride height 35mm up front and 15mm out back. If that isn't enough for your tastes, they also offer a more aggressive coilover lowering kit (€979) that reduces ride height by up to 65mm.

Other styling options include the usual assortment of alloy wheels (in 17, 18 and 19 inches), a stainless steel dual central exhaust (€339), and a slightly sportier stainless steel quad exhaust (€899).

JE DESIGN supports new Seat:

Modest facelift turns Leon into a thoroughbred sports car

  • Extensive tuning programme immediately after the new Leon is introduced
  • Entire aerodynamics kit with rear wing and hood scoop
  • Earthy sound either from two or four pipes 
  • Wheel Multispoke in 17, 18 and 19 inches in shadow-silver and matt black

Seat turned the Leon a bit sportier by giving him a new facelift. Modest design adjustments give the brawny Spaniard a more dynamic appearance. JE DESIGN follows this line and turns the modified model into a thoroughbred sports car. At the same time as the new Leon is introduced to the market, the refiner also offers his entire Leon facelift programme.

Especially the entire aerodynamics kit is responsible for this metamorphosis. The front spoiler (299 euros including VAT), the side skirts (299 euros) and the rear apron attachment in carbon look (349 euros) give the brawny Spaniard a significantly sportier appearance.

When the aerodynamics kit is not enough yet, you can add the rear wing (459 euros) and a matt black grill with a grid insert (119 euros) which shows no Seat nameplate. Matching headlights masks (89 euros) are also available. They give the Leon a fierce look. A special feature is the hood scoop with air inlet blinds (149 euros). They make every JE-DESIGN Leon unique.

The especially produced wheels Multispoke are visually and technically a highlight in car refinement. JE DESIGN offers the wheel sets in 17, 18 and 19 inches in shadow-silver and matt black with a silver rim (entire wheel set 8x19 inches with 225/35 R 19 Y-wheels starting from 2,810 euros). In order to place the wheels deep into their casing, sport springs lower the Leon by 35 millimetres at the front and 15 millimetres at the back (159 euros). For individual lowering up to 65 millimetres, the refiner offers a coilover kit (979 euro).

JE DESIGN offers two ways to obtain the matching sound to this look: Either the exhaust system ends in a stainless steel centre double pipe (339 euros) or altogether four stainless steel pipes (two on the left and two on the right) render an earthy sound (899 euros). JE DESIGN offers the matching rear apron attachment for both models.

JE DESIGN turned the unobtrusive Leon into a self-confident car. Moreover the refiner confirms that it is one of the fastest companies on the market. Immediately after the car is introduced, the entire programme can be obtained as well.

Pig ugly? Phew. Does the Golf GTI, Focus ST, Opel OPC look T H A T much better? I own a Golf GTI and still think the Leon to have a nice, clean, modern look. Stronger lines in places than the Golf anyway.

I'm trying to decide which car is uglier the Seat or the Toyota/Scion thing in the other story. I think the toyota in that putrid lung butter yellow/green is worse.

Oh lol.... remember when looking into custom parts for the GTI JEDesign's stuff made me wanna laugh / puke / run for cover. Orange at bottom: originality? Nope, just no tuner in their right mind would lanuch with such rubbish.

Car would look very nice if it weren't for the silly colour scheme. Would look fab if car was white with those bits on it made to look like carbon fibre ( minus the silly headlight covers)
