what did you and your mk3 leon do today

What's your personal reason for the air conditioned glove box? Is it a case of just wanting it because it's an option or does this make the glove box into a basic cool box.
My reason was that my coco pops breakfast bars were always melting 
nobody likes a sludgy warm breakfast bar.
I didn't even know it was an option until a friend mentioned it on the Golf MK7 and we came across the blocked off valve on the air con whilst running the dash cam cables.

Most of the people out there were very familiar with the layout, even though I have been out there before it was a long time ago now.
Think most of the cars apart from mine also had full track setups on them, 2 of the cars were fully blown race cars (a 911 and a MK6 Golf VW Cup car)

Awesome track second only to Brands Hatch. Living round here is a motorsport wet dream you never wake up from! 
Oh yes haha on the straights I had power to pull away from stuff easily but in the corners the more experienced drivers, especially in real race cars had a huge advantage over me.
The only thing I'm annoyed about is I couldn't get a 034 Motorsport mount in time as it kept loosing traction out of one of the corners.
Good stuff!
My car's in for some front suspension work today (OSF top strut mount and bearing needs replacing - it's making an awful creaking noise on lock). I'm also having the 034 insert installed at the same time. I'm hoping it crisps up my connection with the drivetrain.

I just bought version 1 and winged it, didn't bother checking. 2014 plate. Haven't heard of any early car using type 2.
I'm picking the car up in an hour so will share a few points then.

So, I've just got back from having the 034 installed.
First impressions are - Can't tell any difference in terms of vibration. The engine starts harder at start-up, but that's about it.
Wheel hop - gone. Wheel spin - remains.
Will test it out properly in the coming days.

I just picked up the car from the local detailer. I had the rusty hubs painted and put new wheel nut caps on, such a difference. I also had the exhaust tips cleaned.
So much happier as the rusty hubs were doing my t**s in!
The crappy Bridgestones are next to get sorted!

I had a go at this myself but quickly gave up as the paint was dripping and looked bad so cleaned it. Gave it a clean with a wire brush so a bit better but still need to sort this.
Was it an expensive thing to do?
Hey Miguel,
I was also thinking about doing it myself but I'd probably make a mess of it so left it to the professionals!
It wasn't expensive at all, only cost £60 (proper paint and lacquer were used) including the car having a proper clean.
I'm lucky to have such a good detail shop near to me.
