Didn't exactly do anything with my Leon, but did something for it.
Picked up a yale smart CCTV system, last night someone attempted to fish the keys through my letterbox. Some very scummy people around
There certainly are:mad: I'd be tempted to install one of these letterbox protection devices also:

I did a lot of analysis on Ambient coloring zones as defined in our infotainment filesystem :geek:
For those who love to read how I analyse this kind of stuff, read my drive2 blogpost about it here: Researching GCA (GenericCarAdjuster) Files

My main goal was to find out what mechanism determines which ambient zones are configurable on our devices. Of course, lights need to be attached to the LIN bus, but without the correct zone configuration, you won't be able to configure the zones in the settings screen.

Took it to Seat for service and MOT. Battery and TPS warning lights on. What I get for not driving the thing. Hopefully it'll be ok, just needs driving more

This might be of interest, bearing in mind 3D and 4D plates are affected;


I’m a bit of a rebel I must say. I doubt the penalty for having a 3D plate is one of death or incarceration. Take risks and prosper

I installed these airscoops from HG-motorsport:

it doesn't really show that well when installed, so I highlighted them on this product picture:

Not sure about any gains.. but it was a fun and easy install.

Bought the eaziwrap copper tape for the interior chrome bits and steering wheel plus gearnob sticker and front flag copper sticker. Managed to do the front flag sticker without issues and the steering wheel strip and badge but the rest was a disaster. Watched the videos before i started but the copper strips ended up in the bin. The one on the gearnob seemed too wide and wouldn't tuck away so that was binned too. I thought i would be able to do it but it didnt work out that way. Disappointed as I think that it would have looked good.
It's definitely not easy, I bought the vinyl squeegy but it's too thick to tuck away the vinyl. I used a credit card in the end to do all the interior pinstriping. It doesn't look too bad if you squint!

I tried with an old debit card but gave up. How did your joins go? Any pics? I was disappointed as I love the copper colour. Have you put any more on the outside?

Look up a little camera called Mobius, it's about the same size as your car key fob and apparently is very good for the money.
I might get one as a rear facing camera at some point :)


The Mobius is great!!! I've had 2 of them in my car for years, haven't yet installed them in my Leon because my brother accidentally broke a lens on one of them 😅. They are great at what they do, and can be mounted with a simple flat mount for action cameras and such.
