I'm running AP 6pot brakes, so some nice grooved 343's with AP's 404 compound, which wasn't my choice but they couldn't get any DS2500's.

Oohhh I'd love a set of 6 pots. At the moment I'm running brembo discs with ds2500 pads and they are better then oem. Only had a tad of brake fade once or twice lol

got the windows tinted on mine as factory tint wasn't dark enough to stop the sun going in the little ones eyes :D


I agree, I don't think the factory tint is dark enough for my liking!
Have you also had the lights wrapped or tinted? I am looking to do this on mine, how do you remove the reflectors at the bottom of the bumper?
Cheers

My mind also changes with what to replace it with. Part of me wants a big comfy saloon/estate automatic but then I think I'll get bored of that and want something a little more agile like an S3/Golf R but the R is way too common.

On the other hand I have been contemplating keeping the Leon and getting a toy like a 306 Gti-6 again.

Quite a bit done to my Supercopa over the weekend. Fitted Octavia gas struts so the boot pops open - really easy to do and my 10 year old daughter thinks its cool so I'm OK with that.
Fitted new aerial:

Swapped out the side repeaters for smoked ones:

Smoked rear lights and reflectors with paint.
Before:

After:

repainted front and rear badges as they were a bit taty looking.

painted door grab handles, still on with this... pic to follow.

repainted mirror covers matt black:

and fitted a set of golf alloy pedals:

Just need to give it a good clean inside and out now.

Think that's the only time an S3/Golf R has been described as agile :cartman:
