Top ones look nice...so does front bumper

Any luck with those skirts?

i left them a bit too long and someone else got them. i'm trying to save the pennies as well at them moment. I'm gunna get the rear bumper first. thats the next "big" thing. then brakes, calipers, suspension and wheels.

I don't need it now mate cause I've got a facelift kit being painted and thats got the grill like yours already fitted in the grille.

Thanks for the offer tho :)

Did you buy new guide profiles and that to fit your front bumper? I just bought all the bits I need to fit front + rear bumper and skirts there a bloody rip off now the mk1 leon is not in production :censored:

Haha fair enough, Yeah i did buy all the new screws and guides new. i've still got some in the packets. never used them. i used all the old screws i had! lol

it's a pain in the arse to get the bumper guides off then put the new ones on. but there is enough room to get your arm in the wing by the head light and use a socket.

and it's a pain to get the bumper on and off as well!

i fitted it to the car before putting on the bumper. when you take them off your see why. it's in such an awkward position. there is a guide on here that shows you how to do it. let me know how the rear bumper goes on yours. just o i know when i get mine done!

Yeah I got that guide the prices have gone up about 300% since then :cry:

I'll let you know mate, used to do it every day for a living so so shouldnt be to hard..........famous last words :D

I think sideskirts will be hardest as there are no pins welded to the sills on our models.....I'll let you know soon!

cheers!! the centre console is actually brushed aluminum. you can get it form your local stealer but it's like £120, i got mine on ebay for £60 i think.

Alloy wise i'm looking at either these,

top ones mate, chunky looking wheel to compliment the lines and chunky feel of the bumpers etc

take a look at my RR thread as I have a pre facelift too (although its staying with its original bumpers on)

other than that, looking good, nice work mate. Regarding the engine bay, I would get the mani powdercoated and would actually use some red crackle spray paint for the rocker cover, looks awesome. Chris has done it on his teggy, if you want me to dig out his thread for you

Looks nice mate :)

Just to let you know the side skirts were pretty easy to fit uing the genuine clips, if you need any help let me know.

cool cheers dude. when i find some i'll send you a pm.

RS4s obviously :)

I have been about them for a while now. i think they would look good! i might get them powder coated a bit darker as well.

Oh and i like that your shoes match your car! :p

did the silver dash trim go over the exsiting bits or did you have to change them
