Andrea Ionescu: Seat Leon 1P
Andrea’s SEAT Leon 1P is her first car, and she wasted no time in modifying it. For our readers outside Europe, SEAT is a Spanish carmaker founded in 1950 by the Spanish Government, and today it is a subsidiary of Volkswagen. The Leon shares platforms with the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf. SEAT also has a long history in performance with three World Rally Championships and two FIA World Touring Car Championships.
Andrea chose the SEAT Leon 1P because her sister had one as her first car and because the broad aftermarket support meant there would be a lot of options for modifications. Growing up in a family that was passionate about cars, Dad was always working on cars and taking her to car shows, which sparked her own interest in customizing cars, and she began modifying the Leon almost immediately after she bought it. The car’s nickname is Armageddon.
The car has the factory body kit from a SEAT Leon Copa Edition, H&R Monotube Suspension, Rotiform KPS 19“, Schroth Racing harnesses, a FOX exhaust and the car is wrapped in Matte Black Glitzer and Red glitter. Andrea is always making little additions to the car and her and friends have done the majority of the modifications to the car, future plans include air-ride suspension, and adding more power.
