Fair play on deciding to go down the conversion route however i'd hate to see the bill
I would recommend doing the donor the way i did, buy an S3 (cheap or broken one) and break it, this will give you all the parts you need and cover most of the cost of the car

I guess they thought for the price a 4wd leon would cost people would buy a S3 instead.

It's going to be a good move going 4wd are you using new Seat parts or S3?

They did this with the Corrado too, bast4rds!

Spent most of today getting all the difficult bits of the meth install done. Removed all the trim panels, cut all the cables and pipework to length, got it all through to the engine bay etc.

Final job is to get the tank and pump installed, obviously they are going in the boot but don't really know where to place them. Anyone who's got meth, where have you placed yours?

Must say that I'm impressed with the quality of the kit, everything is very strong and very UN Chinese like.

My tank is on the drivers side of the boot. The pump is in the wheel well, along with the battery.

Will take a pic later. It would make more sense to put tank in the driver side as the wmi hose would go that side to th engine bay but found it hard to mount the tank there as the area is smaller on the Leon.
