yeah hopefully i'll make it :shrug:

i reckon you should mate ive always thought a whole matte black leon would look good, very stealthy, should tint the front lights for the ultimate stealth look :)

Well it's £9 a can direct from plasridip.co.uk
So £27 for a protected, chip free, easy to clean bonnet that can be removed easily if needed.

Now I just need the tyres.
I'm tempted by the stretch look but at the moment I know anything about stretching tyres.

Seriously?! Mine still haven't arrived yet!! They look good though :) if you don't plan on lowering it more I wouldn't bother with stretching much. But have a look on tyrestretch.com they have pics of loads of stretches from little to insane haha
