surely i remember you saying miles was over 120k, first thing i would be doing is getting it health checked, engine det/afr etc before modding it.

Was the C2 not a write off or something?
If the guy wants to swap for that I'm pretty certain this Leon will be terrible.

Get a cable from Gendan, download VCDS Lite and scan the car before you do the trade.
Coil packs can be done under recall if not already done.
Stage 1 you will probably need a Better Recirc valve although standard ones are ok if in good working order.
Stage 2 you will probably need the above with large Downpipe, decat or sports cat, cat-back exhaust, FMIC, silicone TIP etc etc.
Most people just go stage 1.
