I'm being a plum - I read in another thread you had your "bumper" sprayed black and for some reason I read that as bonnet I think I need stronger glasses!!!

Is that the bit where the number plate is like they have done on the Cupra??

Hi andrew.
Nice choice of spec!.
Iv'e also gone for the black wheeled clean look for my VRS! . It works very well with the red scheme on your Leon.
I'm going down the same tuning route too having had one minor DPF problem. My fuel consumption is around 45mpg on a brisk run as engine has loosened up. It wasn't so good when the car was new. It's much quieter and smoother too. I'm staying with PD until CR's have been around a bit longer. Just thought i'd pass on my experience with a 170 pd as iv'e run it from new and MPG was a bit disappointing at first .

Enjoy
COOLMAN

 

[AndrewJB]

Im only Managing 35-40mpg at the moment mainly at 70+mph tho lol

The CR Engine is alot quiter and smoother but the price was right for a PD and also CR turning isnt available yet

 

[Altech]

Nice upgrade mate I'll look forward to the rest of the progress

 

[AndrewJB]

i Picked these up on from CupraMVR the way to Chesterfield for the meet the other day

Eibach Sportlines

So today they got fitted , Car is definetly Lower front & Back and also the ride isnt as bumpy now, Im hopeing they will go abit lower after settling for a week or so

Ive also managed today to do VCDS Long Coding ,so now my alarm chirps :biggrin: and selective unlocking is gone :biggrin:

 

[Ami-Jane]

Can't believe how much you've done to the car already
