i bought a kit from ebay and am happy with the quality it also includes an aerial booster aswell http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seat-Leon-Toledo-Ibiza-CD-Radio-Stereo-Fascia-Facia-Kit_W0QQitemZ270335988207QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_FasciaPlates_SM?hash=item270335988207&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

The lead comes with most new stereo's as the leon already has ISO connectors.

The aerial booster is only needed for medium/long wave, not FM (unless you live in a poor transmition area)

the wiring for the power on the leon is in a different configuration to the standard iso think its got something to do with the permanent live

weird...my new pioneer has just plugged straight in.

 

[Hobbiniho]

some of them plug straight in others you have to change the red and yellow wire over, its the swithced and permanent live that are different on the seat loom to what my cd player uses hence the reason why the conversion lead was needed, as for the radio booster i dont actually use it as i have a usb stick and an sd card with all my music on and just listen to that

I have just put in a sony unit today. I baught the Leon conversion plate/gap filler bit and the autoleads conversion wiring for leon->standard ISO and it plugged straight onto the sony connectors. Works a treat!

 

[Hobbiniho]

oh well looks like i will have to get a fabia rear wiper sooner than i thought, went to wipe my back window this morning and the wiper are snapped off and fell to the ground, also iv been noticing that my rear washer isnt that powerful so im goin to check the pipes at the weekend

 

[heatfan8]

^^ sounds like the perfect excuse for the wonderful fabia wiper conversion!

 

[Hobbiniho]

got some updated pictures, got myself a fabia rear wiper and a c2 aerial also got some new pressed metal plates from dubmeister i will let the pics do the talking

 

[Hobbiniho]

just thought i would update this a bit as i managed to pick up a set of fr wheels for very cheap and decided to get them powdercoated green i know that most people will hate them but i like them so dont care also the car is now lowered 40mm on jom shocks and springs

 

[smithygcupra]

To be honest that is one crazy paint job on the wheels.... and i think they look well nice! Is it lowered in the pics?? how much did it cost you to get them powdercoated? my wheels are ruined and need refurbing

 

[Hobbiniho]

yeh its lowered in the pics but it has settled a bit more, pics were taken the day after i got it lowered. the wheels cost me £280 for a full refurbish at my local powdercoat place that included the kerbing being built up with liquid metal and reshaped if i was going for a more standard silver it would have only cost about £200

 

[heatfan8]

Hiya mate - do you have a more recent photo of the lowering kit........has the front settled down more, as it looks like the front is higher than the rear in those photos :S Also, what kit is it?

 

[gav_FR]

Love the green wheels mate, well done for being brave and trying something different!

You should put a few subtle green touches elsewhere on the car too to finish it off

 

[mazzerati]

what colour green is that? they look insane!

 

[Hobbiniho]

what colour green is that? they look insane!

alright mate the colour is RAL6018 (yellow green)

heatfan8 the kit is the jom kit

i have just got my standard wheels back from the painters and got my avon ice touring st tyres fitted to them so thought i would take some pics

 

[strugers1]
