Cheers... its been done over a few years so you don't notice the cost but I'm certainly feeling it lately! lol ...
Creation Motorsport silicone breather hoses to add to the list!
The Stereo kit is nearly worth as much as the car...

Wow, nice paintwork. Looks shinier than mine at only 53k - though I've yet to detail mine after buying it

It's actually due for a basic de-swirl now as was last detailed two years ago but I will do that after all the engine / suspension work is complete.
I've not seen a shinier Leon yet...
(I am a pro detailer btw so cheating a bit ... )

Took the opportunity to clean out the PCV systems, the valve (was sticking) and replace a few pipes with silicone ... also painted the tray the N115 valve sits on under the inlet manifold to tidy it up.
Tonight I'm going to get the inlet manifold finished and the car back together then start the suspension work which I'm NOT looking forward too!

Suspension installed...
Very happy with the results using the vogtland sports suspension kit.
Pics:
Obviously only dropped it off the jack last night so still settling down... initial impressions of the drive ... softer than I was expecting ... soaks up bumps well and feels more refined but pushing on a bit the suspension firms up nicely.
No knocks / bumps / skipping so its screwed together well and the kit feels high quality.
Funny though the original damper rod no longer retract when pushed down... the front suspension also had odd springs ... VW one side and KYB the other side... different lengths as well

Straight through again... 5th time in a row so far with me
I cancelled the Godspeed IC as none in stock at time and didnt get round to ordering another from elsewhere ... I may re-order again but need to sort my front dampers out first before I go any further.
Good news and bad news Im still not sure what to do, but am looking into a FMIC for better gains. Check the THS intercooler, might also be an option for you?

THS IC would be spot on.... if could find one!

Also been reading some one vwvortex about the godspeed/turborevs/etc intercooler, it is quite promising.
