Damian's Leon #red_black project (NOW SOLD)

[Petey41]

Cheers mate! Interior will be nothing crazy since I'm leaving my seats and everything as they are not too bad (as some leons got beige interior!) Also MPG wise currently mines is around 30-35 with my current driving and 18"s on which is quite bad!


Also, managed to do one side!:

That's not too great I Spose, but its much better than what I got in my golf lol Cant wait to see the interior lighting done!

Well MPG isn't the best but its due to my driving and wheels. My leon is quite fast for 1.4 ! I do 60 MPH in 9 sec! (Remember that its 1.4)

Also I got round to fit two last S3 vents which went better then I thought ! I didnt take any photos as was quite busy with those vents but its nothing complicated! A good point to add for folk who want to install those - you don't have to drill any holes in the air tubes (what ever they are) as you can get the cable through the end of the air tube which end just basically same place where you put your vent. It might require to be a little patient but guess its better that way than drilling holes!

Also to add, Im not buying any upgrades at the moment as saving money for new years and Christmas!

That's pretty quick man! I know what you mean, its hard to buy presents and fund mods this time of year lol

Nothing big. Just LEDs to the glove box and new stronger LEDs for doom light. (This might be little but helps a lot as I use those quite often and now when its dark at 3:00 its good to have more light!)

They do look quite blue when you look on them but the actual light output is white.

Other then that, things are going slow. Its time before Christmas! I need to save money for presents and New Years Eve! Only thing I will buy now are red LEDs for foot lighting which are not too expensive and I already prepared the cables for it so should be hard. Rest of the mods will be at the start of New Year, depending on how much money I'll have left. First thing to order on my list, next year is defiantly an arm rest! After that Ill be looking for new metal pedals and possibly W8 Light!

Forgot to add: I've updated my topic with a lot of new mods I want to do and I've sorted everything in sections, so its easier to read. Also I've ordered my custom made cupra like dials which are currently getting design and should have them start of 2014!

Also did that those, but that photos are after 2 month of buying my car so not all current mods are on those photos!

Installed red LEDs in foot space. Will upload photos after today.

Thanks, how did you connect them to the power supply? cigarette lighter?

Both connected to rear window heater switch. Quite easy. Black to brown (earth) and red to blue (live).

So, not much happening. After new years eve Im ordering arm rest, new super delux car mats (which are 60 quid ) and looking around for some cupra pedals. Also, got first draft of my custom dials.

Suggestions what to change?

Dials look good man, but in my opinion, the numbers look better filled, if ya get what I mean! Serious money on car mats! What are they like?

I never even thought about the dial trims and those little things. Really makes the interior look a whole lot more modern and less plasticy.

Looking good!

Cheers, yeah, numbers will be filled, this was just a draft. Also, car mats are just regular black with FR logo, but getting upgrade for them to super deluxe, which I read, have much improved quality.

Cheers mate, that's what sort of I'm trying to achieve!

Sorry for slow progress, but away and back on the 29th. Ordered few parts so there will be some photos soon. as soon as I'll receive all the packages I'll post some photos with updates.

Stay tuned.

I'm back and just received my new LEDs for sidelights, LEDs for rear brake bulbs and H7R HID Kit. I got some 6k's. Will hopefully install them today, later on.

Also got some "magic spacers" but they don't fit my leon too well so sending them back and getting some custom fit for my leon.

I've also ordered an arm rest and Cupra R pedals.

Updates soon!

Mate mods look good! When you have your hid kit in, let me know what you think! Also, magic spacers, are they to stop things going down the side of seats?

LEDs are from ebay.
Sidelights: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360784211708?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Rear Bulbs: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400531272348?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Also managed to fit in my HIDs. They look sweet. I bought H7R 6k kit which is perfect with my Day Running Lights. They have some blue tint to it but not too much which looks great!

Left is HID right is the "Super White 100W Bulb".

LEDs for the sidelights will go in shortly, as currently one of them has been damaged and has to be replaced.

Regards.
