Washed the car and gave it a vac too. Also replaced the footwell lights from being warm white to ice white to match the new interior lights.

What interior lights do you have?

I bought the strips as you suggested in a different thread and did my boot :)

Can you give us the link to get these LEDs as I wanna improve the interior lights in my K1

This is the sort of thing you need. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1M-3528-L...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item35beebb4e0

It doesn't have to be waterproof as it's in the footwell but just make sure the one you get can be cut into your own lengths. You also need to be able to solder the wires on but its really easy. When you put them under the back seats make sure you leave enough slock so the seats can move otherwise it will pull the wires out!

Did some modding to my exterior and interior panels on my 2009 Leon Fr . Carbonfiber look. 3M Di-noc and 1080 wrapping materials. Looks a hell of a lot better than the original ones.
Well that actually was my whole weekend project but finished it today. :funk:

That is cheap, cause I popped in to Seat Birmingham to check there prices and they wanted £299 for just the cambelt or £360 with the water pump.

My 2007 is on 55000 and never had the belt changed so i think i was just lucky . The old belt never looked the greatest tbh . Ive only owned the car a few weeks and i knew i had to do it straight away

Humiliated a fat man driving a focus RS.
The **** cut me up on the motorway, weaving from lane to lane. Anyway managed to pull up by the side of him ( me in outside lane) and gave him a lot of abuse using hand gestures. He wasn't happy and tried to undertake me so I planted the foot... anyway he quickly gave up.... Got to love the DSG, adios while your clutch pedal is going down fat man
