what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[mrbugle]

Decided to wrap the badges front and rear, and the Cupra lettering in the boot with 4D carbon wrap. Looks great in the sunshine. Had some left over so solved my stained wheelnut cover dilemma and capped them with the same. Too much spare time on my hands some might suggest.......

I need to live somewhere with some deserted roads. Looks nice up there.. Come to think of it, my company has a big office up at Rainton.

Fitted Cupra number plate surrounds. I quite like them and not bad for £10

Just waiting to get it back from a service, Arnold Clark are "Pricing" things up which translated means they have found small things they can charge an arm and a leg for that i can do myself for about 5% of the price they quote.

only reason its in there is its got a 2 year service free with the car, would never have used them otherwise

 

[noonoo63]

Arghh, never ever take the service and mot deal from them. That my friend is how they make their fortune, sell you a cheap car then rip you off big time when it comes to service and mot time, I know this from bitter bitter experience.

I didnt pay for it they gave me it for free at the time, ive had 2 cars now from them and the first car they tried to sell me it and got told where to go. This time it was thrown in after i complained about something when i was getting my Leon.

Things they flagged..
1. Tires - still 2.2mm i think they said on the front and 3ish on the back
2. Front brake pads
now these first 2 i expect as its a common one they try and some folk fall for it but

3. ALL i repeat ALL shocks are leaking

They asked can we price this up for you, eh no i have an extended 2 year warranty you can fix it for free, now just waiting on the parts getting ordered and car booked in to "fix" this (they have probably exaggerated it)

 

[noonoo63]

Yes mine was " free" as well then they tried to sting me for 450 quid at its first mot for repairs that definatly did not need doing at 11k miles arghh, will have to sit down as the BP is rising dramatically lol. They dropped the price considerably when I said I would be right down to see them, and took the car elsewhere from there on. Sailed through that and the next 3 mot's no problem.
Never crossed their thresh hold again and never will.

Left the house this morning and there was a Dynamic Grey ST 280 with panoramic roof parked 3 down from mine. Had mine for two months and I've only seen maybe 2 Cupra's both, 3 doors. And then to see the exact same car as mine (except it had the sub 8 pack and mine's a 290) parked on the same street blew my mind. I was freaking out about numberplate theft and stuff.

I've fitted a few quick additions in a crazy quick amount of time... uprated boot struts to auto open, angled up the led headlights just a tad, led rear indicators, car shade rear shades, SEAT key cover and chrome key fob mod. Just a few little bits to make the car feel more like 'mine'

Sounds good! Could you post a link for the boot struts?

Hi Peller, I can't post URL's yet but they are £25.80 free postage from ebay from atp-spareparts in Germany. If you search: 'Stabilus Octavia 96-10' they come up. They are part number 017468.

I just got the details off the forum.

As people have said, they require more force to shut. I kind of like the fact you could pull the boot halfway and it would shut itself. But I prefer the auto open for 'full hand' moments... I now have a clean hand print on my white boot lid where I have to push it down to close. I won't go back though
