Hi, and thanks for the comment! I bought them off ebay, from AD_tuning.. Was about 1200NOK with shipping included, but because of toll restrictions i had to pay an extra 700NOK at the post office :( So if I knew this was coming I would buy them from Parts & retards (they import the headlights from the same company i bought them from).The lights actually aren't bad at all, the lenses put out a good amount of light with a aftermarket xenon kit, did not even try with halogen lightbulbs :p
But i have to say the original light-output is sligthly better..
The civic aerial was off ebay yes, can't find the link for it..
What Leon do you have? Did you buy recently?
Ha en god dag!

Oh, that is not good. You should have sendt them to Sweeden with Post Restante. I bough brake disks and pads from UK and sent it to Storlien, Sweeden to a gas station who recive packages from many Norwegians, I saved a lot doing that. I do not know if you have that opportunity up north..?
That is my plan also. It is less likely to be pulled over by the police if you have aftermarket xenon in projectors instead of the original ones. After reading Phillc's thread to convert original headlights into projector, I want to convert the high beam into projector as well.

Ok, I will probably find something similar, the original one is a bit to big..

I have a -01 Cupra 4 tdi 150hp. I did pass 140'km a few weeks ago. Its remapped by a previous owner, so I think it is about 180hp.
I bough mine about a year ago from a guy in Trondheim.
What about you?

Also, I looked trough some of the earlier post in this thread and found out that you where missing the lid for the rear towing. I was also missing mine, so if you have not found it somewhere, the OEM number is 1M6 807 928.

Ha en god dag!

Bad opportunities up here, I wont drive for 4 hours every time i order something. Where do you live? I wanted to get together som Leon's for Gatebil 2014.

Cool, how's the diesel? I drive a 1.8T with 4wd, the standard cupra with 180HP and 195'km on the clock :(

Thank you so much man!! Been looking for ages for the god damn towing lid.. It looks so stupid without it! How do i fit it? Just pop it on?
Already ordered it from germany! So again, thanks! :rofl:

Oh, okay, have you tried holding the cod ;) "Hollj i torsken" Do you feel better?

You could gather up a lot of parts, then you probably sould save some.
I live in Trondheim. So for me it is still 1,5 hours of driving to Storlien, but I usually do it with weekends or if some friends are going. I have never been to Gatebil. It is a bit far away;)

Well, I have not driven so many cars with alot of power. I can compare it to a 1.6l 102ph fwd, and its like heaven and hell :rofl: You got a lot of tourqe at 1800 rpm so it is like a kick. ESP i blinking pretty much in 2nd gear and some times 3rd even on dry asphalt, but I think the tires that the previous owner bought is not top quality. I think they are called Landsail or something..
195' i not that much. Your car still looks good;)

I have not bought it my self, since I'm thinking about repainting my hood. I think that they are fasten with clips or something.

Take a look at this link: ifinterface[.]com/page/page3.php?langid=1 and then press Car Prog 2. It is a free version, so after 49 slides you have to start all over:doh:
I hope I do not do anything wrong by posting that link? Please let me know:)

Haha ja æ har holdt torsken mange gang, blei mye bedre i etterkant :p
Im not bothered doing that :p I've never been there either, used to go to ACR in Mo i rana, but i figured i wanted to try something else and make the trip down Sweden and go to rudskogen.. I haven't decided yet!
Haha, I actually owned this exact Leon 2 years ago, sold it and bought it back a few months ago :D
Thats what great about these cars, you got full power from 1850rpm-ish. Im not driving her so hard these day cause I have to replace the outer CV joint.. It's crackling like hell in right turns :(

Link doesn't work mate.. Just post it as you would on any site and it will show :)

Bree9482 what's it like with no cats? Noise/performance and throttle response?

Ha, tbh I've only drove it home from garage in rush hour traffic and it was pelting down with rain lol.

I did give it a little push and it felt torquier and it sounds a lot nicer from my air intake !!

I can't honestly give a great deal of info yet as it was to busy to test properly !! There is always Tom tho... ;)

Sound wise it's lovely !! I asked for it to be not too loud. It's more about the flow for me rather than the noise !!

I also bought a lambda spacer off eBay and no cel as yet, so happy days. Awesome price aswel !!

Any custom exhaust garage would do it for you, I would imagine !!

I'm sure I have read the leon tdi centre section is 2.5" !!

Could be wrong but worth a google ;)

Just delivered my LC4 TDI to Gytis Autek for "custom" mounting of a steel skid plate. seatcupra[.]net/forums/showthread.php?t=394886

I did also change my fog, hi- and lowbeam bulbs to Osram Night Breaker Unlimited.

A nice oppertunity to send a lot of parts to sweeden for pick-up ;)
Several people do thay. If I sold my Leon, I would probably regret any buy it back.
It would be fun to go to ACR and do a couple of laps.

Thank you Lee.

lol, G-A seems like you need two more posts.. And lets not ruin this thread with chit-chat :p
You can reach out to me on PM and/or facebook^

Well, I need 15 post to send PM also. I'm working on it, but I don't want to spam threads just to get 15 posts ;-) I did also have to remove your facebook link, since I can not post links..

Finally fitted the W8 Passat interior mood lights (LEDs)... Couple of hours later the engine started choking, loosing pressure.. ended up switching off as I was doing 150kph in the highway.. No hydrolic pressure on the breaks or the steering wheel..
Luckily i managed to stop it safely after i have already **** my self in terror! Lolol!

MAF sensor was a bust, and throttle body was really dirty causing it to stay in the open position. FML..

I am waiting for the call from my mechanic to pick it up when it will be ready again..

Since its there i will be changing the brake pads as well to DS2500.. Any reviews/comments on them? Thanks!

You shouldn't have fittetd the W8 Passat interior light...:blink:

I have heard only positive comments on DS2500. I chose redstuff from EBC last time I changed pads because of the price(ds2500 vs redstuff), but I will try out Feroro DS2500 next time..
