JE DESIGN has launched their Seat Leon FR program which brings both performance and styling upgrades. For the petrol version, the TFSI engine of the JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR has been tuned to output 270 hp (199 kW) 355 Nm of torque. The extra juice of the 2010 JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR comes from a re-programmed ECU. The extra horses enable the car to get from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. The price for this upgrade is 1499 Euros.
The TDI diesel version of the 2010 JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR develops 204 hp (150 kW) and 380 Nm of torque thanks to a re-mapped ECU. The 0 to 100 km/h sprint time drops to 7.6 seconds. The price for the diesel JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR upgrade is 1339 Euros.
The JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR also comes with a new aerodynamics package which includes a new front spoiler with a double lip, side skirts, a rear skirt attachment and a rear diffuser. The JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR features wing-doors, a new exhaust muffler system and 19inch wheels.
The JE DESIGN Seat Leon FR program also includes a new suspension which lowers the ride height by 35 millimeters.
JE DESIGN Press Release:
At Seat, FR stands for Formula Racing. But that was not exciting enough for the JE DESIGN engineers. They turned the new Seat Leon FR into a real sports car which has significantly gained power and also shows it.
The Seat two-liter petrol engine produces 211 hp (155 kW) in the serial model. Due to an optimisation of the control unit, JE DESIGN increases the performance of the TFSI-engine by a good quarter to 270 hp (199 kW). The maximum torque leaps from 280 to 355 Newton metres.
Instead of 7.1 seconds, the JE DESIGN-Leon reaches the 100 kph barrier in already 6.2 seconds. JE DESIGN offers the performance enhancement for 1499 Euros including VAT, assembly and a one-year warranty.
Also the Diesel engine becomes brawnier after JE DESIGN engineers put the finishing touches on their work. The additional electronics Can-Tronic boosts the two-litre TDI from 170 hp (125 kW) to 204 hp (150 kW) and the maximum torque from 350 to 380 Newton metres. Therefore the sprint from 0 to 100 kph is reduced from 8.2 to 7.6 seconds. The price is 1339 Euros and also includes VAT, assembly and warranty.
The Leon FR by JE DESIGN proudly presents this newly acquired power with bold headlight blends (89 Euros), LED daytime running lights (299 Euros) and its aerodynamics pack. The front spoiler with the double lip (279 Euros) draws the vehicle to the road. The side skirts (299 Euros) calm down the air flow which derives from the new rear skirt attachment (299 Euros) and the centre diffuser attachment (99 Euros) at the rear. There, the end muffler with its mighty four-pipe system (899 Euros) unmistakably confirms that this is no serial Seat.
By lowering the vehicle, the car receives a sportier look and a better handling at the same time. Owing to the lowering springs (159 Euros), the Seat is 35 millimetres closer to the road. With the coilover suspension (979 Euros), an individual lowering from 15 to 40 millimetres can be achieved. Therefore, the new 19-inch wheels look especially impressive. The elegant and dynamic design of the Multispoke wheels glows in black and has a polished rim bead. Sport wheels measuring 225/35R 19 ensure a safe contact to the road (entire wheel set for 2930 Euros).
The most significant difference between the JE DESIGN Leon and its serial counterpart shows as soon as the driver opens the doors. The wing door hinges (1499 Euros) first open the doors outwards before they safely glide upwards.
And as if the refinement of the engine and the exterior were not impressive enough, JE DESIGN additionally enhances the interior. Seats, door linings and the centre armrest are all wrapped in noble leather (1599 Euros). Thereby, the colour combination between leather and stitches can be chosen without any additional charges. A two-stage seat heating (379 Euros) is offered as well as an adjustable lordosis support (319 Euros). But the highlight of the interior refinement is not visible: the driver and the passengers can indulge in the luxury of the massage system in the seats which offers twelve programmes (429 Euros). Moreover, the refiner offers to embroider a logo into the back rests (79 Euros) according to the wishes of the customer.
Moreover, the refining experts from Leingarten also offer noble leather for the steering wheel (399 Euros), the gear shift skirt and the hand brake cuff (together for 179 Euros).
With the Leon FR, JE DESIGN once again confirms its competence in refining Seat automobiles. With the performance enhancement, the entire aerodynamics pack and a keen eye for details, the engineers developed a dynamic and overall harmonious automobile.

Superchips Press Release:
Vehicle remapping specialist Superchips Ltd is delighted to announce the launch of a new, popular BMW 320D featuring the 2.0-litre, 175bhp turbo diesel powerplant.
Superchip’s electronic calibration technicians identified a number of performance enhancement opportunities within the 320D’s Bosch EDC17 ECU to develop a new map, which was optimised using the firm’s in house chassis dynomometer and then combined with extensive road testing for final validation.
The end result is an ECU remap which adds a 320D, increasing the maximum outputs to 220bhp and 444Nm respectively, transforming the performance of the 1495 kilo car. Driveability is also greatly improved, producing a car that’s both faster and easier to drive.
Pleasingly, the 320D’s much praised fuel economy is unaffected by the Superchip’s ECU remap and in most instances consumption improves due to the extra low rev torque available to the driver. The new Superchips E90-E93 320D ECU remap is available in two formats for customers. Firstly, they have the option of visiting one of approximately 100 Superchips dealerships in the UK who will install the upgrade.
Secondly, they can purchase the product and self upload it in minutes using the innovative, market leading Bluefin handset. No technical skills are required as customers simply plug in the Bluefin handset to the BMW’s ECU OBDII diagnostics port, follow the on screen instructions and in a few minutes the Superchips program upload is complete.
As part of this process the original factory BMW 320D ECU map is stored on the Bluefin handset for future use and converting the car back to standard is a swift and simple ‘plug and go’ task.
Superchip’s customers can also be assured that the conversion is covered by a full Customer Service Guarantee and an industry leading warranty.
Suitable for E90-E93 variants of the 320D produced between 2007 and June 2009, the 320D remap is available now directly from Superchips and its UK dealer network, priced at £435.00 including VAT.
