[Molehill_Mike]

lol - Cross eyed?!

I prefer it this way for sure

 

[sssstew]

hehe, all this from someone who said he wasnt going to mod when he bought it.

It looks good though mike. v nice indeed.

 

[Molehill_Mike]

I know, can't help but tinker once you have the bug.

I havent been too bad, only spent about £500? Quite pleased really.


Mike

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Whoohoo - over 500 miles from this tank

 

[UncleFester]

driving like a ***** lol I'll get around to yours either friday night or this weekend with those bulbs mate

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Huh? 500 miles is good?!

Ok mate, but we're out Saturday, morning at least, and I work Friday/Saturday evenings. But if you give me a call I can pop home, only work local.

I've got your number so we'll sort something out

 

[Molehill_Mike]

I'll just call you 118

the nicer temps / weather are helping the mpg then mike. 500 sounds good to me for a modded leon.

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Yeah am quite happy as long as I get over 450 to be honest... even at £6 extra a tank to fill up with diesel, still getting a good amount of miles, plus with the tax and insurance savings... makes ya smile

 

[timmahhhhhh]

Getting there mike, 700 out of my last tank.

Car looking good though.

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Ya bugger! 2 words that I feel are applicable to your car tho "Cruise" and "Control"...correct?

Mike

 

[timmahhhhhh]

............incorrect. Standard car, no cruise control. 2 different words; whinging girlfriend!!

That was done using v-power, going back to millers and normal derv now but I think it's more to do with the type of journeys and driving style than the fuel. Just forked out for 60k service and cam belt change today so will be pushing for even more MPG now to make those precious penny's go further.......

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Can I ask - how much did you pay? Mines on 53K now...

Mike

 

[timmahhhhhh]

Not cheap this one unfortunately! I paid £495 at the local VW dealer, was quoted £580 to start with but managed to drive them down a bit. Very good service and they seeem to have done a good job, local VW/Audi "specialist" quoted £500 and got another quote for £466 but that would have meant taking it 20 mins drive and waiting there while they did it so wouldn't of been able to work that day or would of had to go between night shifts...............

Shop around at the time and see who you'd be happiest with. You putting a lot of miles on it? 20K a year for me = service every 6 months; not cheap!

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Not so much, but the previous owner did. I bought it in September 07 with 45K on it..

Good motor tho, I love it!!

Actually I was busy at the weekend again

Drilled the old airbox, AND...


White LEDS

HIDs - Left Ballast

HIDs - Right Ballast

HIDs vs Old

Also got my install half finished... pics of that to come

Mike

 

[jonjay]

Mike i cant believe you took the whole bumper off to do the HIDs...imagine if one of them fails what hassle you will have to go through?

It does look good tho!

 

[sssstew]

hope you havent drilled the airbox so its sucking in hot engine bay air?
