Thanks for the comments :)
Splitter and diffuser from Triple R Composite.

Tailgate and hood from Kewlar&Carbon: http://www.shop.rajdy-najda.com/index.php?ch_lang=2
Note that the parts are made for racing, quality is not top but i must say it looks so sexy. Price is good but you get what you pay for...
Talked to Michel regarding the moulds he has for the tailgate and he told me they are not either 100%.

That is a flipping lovely courtesy car!
I was a bit surprised when they dropped it off as I thought I would get something like a focus or something similar but I'm not complaining, it is a bit scary trying to park it in confined car parks as it's a very wide car

They have some awesome parts for the Leon on there!! Not badly priced either. Would love the carbon doors, bumper, tailgate and bonnet :)

Car failed MOT today thanks to a split cv boot on the drive shaft. No big deal but it's just a ball ache. Had to cycle home like a peasant!

Picked up a bargain today, full standard 170 CR exhaust, courtesy of another member on here. Plans are to get the dpf cut, gut and shut and get a dpf delete and remap. Gonna keep my current standard exhaust for when I eventually sell the car ☺️

New clutch and new DMF fitted and a service. :blink:

Picked up a cam follower as well and it looks easy enough to change and a bit easier being the CDLA engine as the rubber fuel lines means less work changing the follower.

Expensive day then mate!

How much was the clutch and DMF?

Just to update everyone on my current car ;)

Looking to get something petrol and fast to run along side it - ibiza 1.8t fr or mk1 lcr are current contenders.

It's running really well actually. Got a map on it now too so around 160 bhp (gentle map). Doesn't feel like 121k miles I have to say. Had a few issues when I got it with thermostat and needing a new air con compressor, since then it's had a wheel bearing and that's it.

Bought some 18" B7 s line alloys with pilot sport 3 (3mm tread left) for £200 so can't complain about that! Got new tyres in the garage ready for when they run out too. Idea being ill get the wheels refurbed a lightish anthracite colour at the same time as fitting tyres :)

Indeed I did.

With getting new tyres fitted at the same time it knocks 40 quid off that I otherwise would have paid for fitting. So essentially 150 quid for all 4 to be refurbed :)

Tidied up the exhaust tips on the exhaust I bought yesterday. A few different grades of sand paper and micro mesh mixed with a bit of autosol and some elbow grease = nice and shiney exhaust tips like new.
