The back lights are tinted mate :) We got a guy from the bodyshop to do this, apparently they used some sort of tinting spray. Id suggest getting brighter bulbs if your doing this :)

yeah I did trade in my beamer, 320ci convertible m sport, I got a family on the way... like seats but saving cash for a couple of years so wanted a £35 tax car and well this one stood out from the rest!

Did you have a black smoke problem with the exhaust? full throttle it sticks out a bit of smoke!

I had a feeling that who had it before must be on here, well it has travelled a long way now down on the south coast, im sitting in my office with it parked just outside my window, it gets a fair of attention!

Shame the missus doesnt like it! but I shall try and make it my own eventually when im allowed to....

Got to sort the stereo first tunage very important!

ha ha I have had the "chav" speech from the missus, but well its only the strip on the bonnet she doesnt like!

But well if you see the "chav" cars down here well its much better quality, im impressed with the work and how its been looked after.

And well my beamer was starting to get to an age where it costs money and you cant put a baby in a child seat in the back of one very easily so well this will do for a while till i can afford the leon cupra with a k1 kit!

Liked what your Dad did with the Leon by the way!

Bet if feels like a big step down from the beemer! :blink:

Yes mate, quite alot actually! It does leave a certain satisfaction leaving a cloud of soot behind when some :censored: is tailgating though :D

It certainly got alot of attention, when it wasnt covered up in the garage that is :p

A nice set of cupra or VRs alloys would set it off nicely imo, as long as you like it fella :happy:

Haha, yeah iv had a few people say its a bit chavvy but iv had more good complements than bad.

Yeah, it makes sence fella :)

Thanks mate, theres been quite alot of interest in the Leon, however no one seems to be able to get finance on it :(

Just thought id mention that you can remove the EGR valve to get rid of the soot, the only problem is that the Engine manangement light comes on which gets very annoying.

The interior maybe yeah a bit, had full leather, climate control and my beloved alpine ipod headunit and a nice auto box, but well I am liking the car more every day, nice being nippy and able to park in smaller spaces again!


Ha Ha funny you should say that did it to some "£"$£" in an audi on the way to work this morning it is funny how people back off!

Read through your post and I see the exhaust is off a fabia? I got told by the garage it was a miltek!

I have been looking for the alloys that my Dad has just ordered for his A4, they are the RS4 style but a shadow black version pretty nice! but well got to pay for baby first really, am allowed to buy a stereo this month and then will do the speakers, how did you ever cope with these standard ones!

Well yeah people are calling me a boy racer but thats a given that i am 26! but hey i dont care i have a car no else has which what i always want, who wants to be the same as the crowd!

Got tailed by some rozzers last night and got warned my lights might not be legal! was looking at the fk ones, think the smoked ones may be the way forward further investigation must be done.

Well I did have a cheeky look at the leon on the old finance but it really pushed my budget to far, to be honest I think being that they got it at about 3/4 grand over a standard price puts people off, when i went to pick up the beeza as it shall now be known, 4 people came in asking for it!

But you Dad does have a good rep! if I am honest I shall be calling on his services when I get a leon! my missus likes the other one alot!

Ok might look at it, it does promote me to drive better with less throttle, it doesnt half shift for a little puppy i have to say im well pleased and hope i can do it justice for you with some extra touches...

Note about the wing mirrors, I like them basically they look alot like the fr ones you can get!

Sorry for the late reply, I was sure I had :confused:

Never had any problems before with tinted rear lights, had fully tinted grey lights on our old altea and never had any bother. I think its more to do with how much light is getting out, maybe upgrading the bulbs would help.

Thanks fella, Im sure he'll be happy to help you out :)

People are really surprised by the little 1.4 diesel engine, they fair shift with a remap :D

Yeah it will be good to see some more mods on the car, have you any plans for it so far?

Thats alright dude, good to know :)

Yeah it is rather surprising, some blokes in a white van looked a little miffed when they tried to undertake me on my lunch break was having none of it and gave them a dose of the old black stuff lol

Yeah think the rozzers were just on a power trip to be honest I have checked it out and the lights are fine.

Well I have got a nice shiney Kenwood stereo sitting in my bedroom waiting to be installed picked up a nice one with fully ipod control and importantly parrot bluetooth built in, the missus likes it as she has got a remote to play with instead of stretching over her bump to change the track.

Looking at some focal 6x9's and the stealth shelf to sort out the tunes.

Then if funds allow I got a few ideas of things to do, change the pedals, possibly the alloys got to put a bit of my style on the little beast... :funk:

that bonnet is really growing on me, infact i love it. only thing i dislike is the rear/boot, i'd keep it as oem as possible. the wheels go pretty well with it too. shame you had to sell it buddy. did it go on ebay the once? im sure i saw it on there a few months back
