Well, Im not much better and planned that after that interior change I'm saving money for summer as got loads things planned like new 18"s with new tyres, coilovers, colour coding bumpers and cupra r splitter which all of that come up to around a grand! Need to seriously start saving!

It'll look well! I have a few bits and pieces to get done in the summer too, if the funds allow, although dad got a jeep, so I suspect the Leon may not be drove as much haha

Big shout out and many thanks to our forum member: csd_19 who made this possible for me. Not only I got this great interior from him, he wrote a very specified instructions for the loom and helped me with my errors after. (blown fuse, duh)

Cheers!

Anytime mate

Really glad to hear you're happy with the interior Great work on the doorcards too, well worth the effort. it looks brilliant with the black lower half on the doors.

Got my silent coats that will go on as soon as I find some time, but will be a while!

Got my sticker on!

And some shots of how she currently looks:

:thanks:

Question of the day for future mods: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?p=4353377#post4353377

Also, can someone send me a link with good bright slightly blueish LEDs for number plate?

Cheers.

I quickly need an advise. I found a manifold to sell on ebay which ends soon. It has no gasket or screws. Now, two questions:
- Will I be able to use my current gasket and screws ?
- And its a de-cat so its not passable. That means that every mot I will change back to my original manifold and afterwards I will change the the after market one - will that not damage anything and will not eventually brake ? (My dad suggested not to play with that as gasket may get loose which would let the air out through the joining of the manifold and destroy the exhaust/engine)

Quick answer please.

Little session. I know my car is dirty.

Manifold. Getting it fitted on tuesday.

Silent coats on rear doors:

Question:
Anyone knows if they would fit the Leon Mk1 or is the plastic to wide?

Unfortunately the custom manifold didn't fit due to pulley being in the way so my old manifold had a little refurbish and been installed back with new gaskets. I took the heatshield off - hope that will not be a problem?

Not much happening with the car at the moment, had new set of rear brakes with callipers fitted and got some silver rear bulbs to delete fried egg effect, although not sure why as Im tinting tail lights soon:

Also got my custom dials done. Once they arrive (hopefully this week), they will be installed right with new white cluster LEDs instead of red ones.

Stay tuned!

Swapped back for my old seat alloys, but with new winter tyres on. Car feels well nippier then before with the 18"s on. All I have to do now is wait for better weather and do a black plastidip respray.

Anyway, photos will be out once Ill give a car a good clean. Also will be posting updates regarding my cluster upgrade which should be next week!

 

[Kali]

Quick little update:
Got silent coats on my front doors. Work on the car going little slow, as been busy with personal life, but just rented a building for a family business which gives me opportunity to work on the car in, inside garage, so stay tuned for changes!

 

[Kali]

So, shes back on her 15's with brand new winter tyres on (bought them before winter, and really needed new tyres!) Like again, will upload some photos when Ill clean the car, but there is nothing interesting to show.

Planning to do my 15's in black plasti dip - anyone have a rough idea how many cans I need?

Also, got my custom made cluster dials, and managed to change some of the red leds to white ones, but still needs some work and the temperature and petrol leds will be white too. The speedo and RPMs are good but leds are not bright enough, so I think Ill try to install more leds in there, and see if it helps.

(On the photo, white does look really bright, but its not really)

Will take some shots during the day to show the actual clocks! I think it looks sweet.

Looking good, did you use silent coat behind of window lift (I mean to the door behind the lift). Sorry my English again hope you got what i meant to say.

I sort of did, but I didn't take the mechanism off. Its possible to tuck the coat in without cutting the actual coat or taking the mechanism off, but its a bit tricky and requires patience. Worth it thou.

Some shots of new clocks. People might hate them, I love them. Very unique and nice to look at.

Next changes:
- Colour Coding "eyebrows"
- Cupra Pedals

well impressed with those dials to be honest! look smart!
