Im sure you don't lol! Beautiful car though, havnt seen one as nice as it, EVER! New alloys for the leon? Like the ones you have on already, but the bbs ch's would be nice!

Yeah, fancy a change tbh, something a bit more aggressive? We will see ;)

Another question.. Your side lights, Where can i get them?

No idea which ones they where now mate it was a looooong time ago! Did I not link them? If i remember correctly they where nothing special, probably some ebay jobbies haha!

8000k for the h.i.d kit?

Mine are 6000k, I think they are just right tbh, 8000k are certainly way to blue. I think Jarre changed his from 6000 to 5000 because he thought 6000 where too blue too! I am happy with mine though because everything is the same colour now :)

Cars looking smashing mate :)

Tell me this does your HID cut off at times with the switch on Auto?
I installed my old HID kit and with the switch left on auto, at times the
left or the right would fail to turn on. :wtf:

Oh yes! Hopefully start to gather the bits for it at the start of the new year :)

Thanks mate :)

Nope I have had no problems what so ever with them. There are only a couple of kits that work 100% on the Leon with no issues, and these are one of them. Quite a few people have this Terminator Kit from hids direct and they have had no issues either. I coldn't reccommend them enough :)

Benjic2, where did you get you LED number plate holdings from? As you say, the bulbs alone die after a week or two, or cause warning errors on the dash.

Come on benji get those new rims on lol!

I'm becoming impatient myself :p

Camskill have done me over really, I ordered my new tyres on the 20th of this month and they said they would be here the next day.. but they never arrived and they closed until the new year on the 21st! So the earliest I can get them is 3rd Jan :( I can't complain though I have got goodyear asymmetric 2's for £92 each! :funk:

Few teasers

Camskill are usually pretty good too.
Did you get as far as getting a tracking email?
They use city link round my area who can be a bit hit and miss.

You know the saying though
"Best things come to those who wait"
Hope that made you feel better mate and the wheels should look good.

Yeah I have used them a few times and they are always usually bang on, but I'm not overly bothered because I know what christmas time is like for a business and I havn't had time to do anything with the car anyway.
I got an " Order In progress" email which probably means they are still to be despatched because I had no tracking information. I ordered early in the morning and they state next day delivery but I suppose it isn't a guaranteed. However yeah they should look better than the oem ones :)
I'm suprised how light they are for reps too, when I picked the box up I expected them to be really heavy, so I pulled up hard and nearly shot the box through the roof :lol:

Benjic2, When you vinyled the plastic door card strips did you take the strips off, if you did how do they come off?

Took them off mate to get the vinyl round the edges, it's the only way to do them properly otherwise the vinyl will just peel back. You're better of with trim removal tools really ( ebay) to ensure you don't break the clips but you could get away with a screwdriver if you a very gentle.
Basically put the driver inbeween the gap between trim and door ( at the top) and gently prise it away. The clips will pop out ( I think there are 4 along the length). Start nearest the the front and work your way back :)
