Andy's MK2 Leon FR

[afcajax73]

Ill keep an eye out from now on and if I see you ill give you a good flashing! Haha I have noticed actually since I got mine there's loads of yellows about. I take my little lad swimming on a Tuesday and every time I come out there's a crono yellow fr on the car park.

 

[Pedestrian]

Well if you see any more yellow ones could well be me Although I don't go to Stoke area as much now.

How do the wind deflectors hold up? My brother had some on his old civic typeR and they only properly stayed up when the windows were up (as they pushed them up). He took them off after a few months because they just wern't holding up properly.

 

[afcajax73]

Well so far so good. I've not drove much with my windows down with it being cold, but I had some of the same type on my Vectra c for 3 years with no problems, and on my leon for 2 years before that. Although one did fly off on my Megane once haha but that was because the clip wasn't in right.

Ah yes, i think ive seen a thread of yours (possibly) where your discussing the Newcastle area. I'm usually in Newcastle every week as i go on a day release thing to the college from work on a Thursday. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled when im about there.

Theres nothing major planned in the short term, my nightbreakers arrived yesterday, so im going to put them in later. and also debadge the rear at the same time, and then give it a good old clean. I went to Thomas Land on Friday with my lad, and it got FILTHY! haha it looks more like a black car than yellow at the minute. I've also got some pressed metal plates on the way, and a surrond for the rear. But other than that, im not doing much for a month or two yet..

 

[afcajax73]

I debadged the rear last night, and also fitted my night breakers.. pics to follow

 

[Jamiethorley]

Hey mate, ye im in castle, are you close by?

Quite like the pressed plates myself, nice touch, also nightbreakers are quality bulbs.

We are looking to go Thomas land soon aswell mate, but we stayed at Alton Towers Splash Landings Hotel last weekend and it was brill!!!

Im from up by Tunstall/Goldenhill area.

i used to work at splash landings hotel on the bar. it is quality there. Thomas land was a complete rip off though.. £29 for my 4year old. £36 for me and the same for the mrs.. plus £4 for car parking... i understand you get entrance to drayton manor too, but my lad isnt big enough for 95% of the stuff there anyway. I would say if your going go, make sure you get some sort of a deal.

Plates and surround arrived today, but my car is back with SEAT again with the same problem as last week..

 

[Pedestrian]

Wonder what the back will look like de-badged. Got my alloys done in Antracite btw, will get some pictures up if you want to see what that looks like with a yellow car.

 

[Magicsky]

My debadged rear. Lol
