If it does still rattle - pop down to your local Ryman store and pick up a pack of white tac ( like bluetac but white )
It's very good for stopping trim from squeeking & rattling.

Or just stick it in your ears, it'll drown the wife out too..... :p

haha! Good suggestions and I think i will need it.

They seem to have made it worse!

The warnings came when he said they had put foam in the door. I took it in for the A pillar....

Low and behold, the perfectly fine door now rattles and every now and then with a very loud almost metallic sound!! Not sure about the A pillar yet as that was intermittent.

Fuming! knew i shouldnt have bothered

Put another 150 miles on her today! Pulled over to take a quick picture!! Really enjoying ownership so far, I normally find something to complain about - but as of yet...can't fault it!!!

Your excitement is infectious - can't wait to pick up my Leon tomorrow :D

Im not sure why the rattles bug me so much, the wife tells me she only notices them if i point them out. I wish i was more like her!
Like my wife saying she can't see any difference between standard and high definition TV!

Hmmm I went and bought some red LEDs but it appears my Leon has a different fitment in the footwell. Bulb on the left is new red led, middle is white led that came with car out the factory, and right is the plastic cover :( Anyone know what type of LED I need? And does anybody need any red T10 LEDS? :eek:

Your car has original interior leds. Bulb type is different and special :) my car has halogen bulbs at first so t10 led is suitable for mine.

Cheers junkerss, assuming that means I won't find replacements easily? Red tape over the plastic lens jobby I guess?

Picked up my FR Black from the dealership today! Couldn't have much fun in the city traffic back home, so I took it out for a spin later on. Racked up about 50 miles on country roads and absolutely LOVING IT. Such a huge change from my Mii - I'm used to having to put my foot down to get anywhere, and in the Leon it's effortless (even with the lower powered 125ps engine!).

I keep looking out the front window just to look at it parked outside!

You'll be looking at it for a while, which colour scheme did you get? I have the Black Tech in white.

I've got white aftermarket footwell LED's. Pm me a price for 2. Worth a dabble.
