well abit of an update....

ive managed to get some teardrop mirrors but there in silver so i need to get sprayed red only problem is my parents said they would pay for them as a xmas present and my mum is quite traditional (if thats what you would call it) so she wont let me have them till xmas.

also im getting my first proper pay check from work on december the 5th so im going to get a magnex oval universal exhaust and ive found a place that will fit it for me for 45 quid, then after that im looking at getting some KW springs to lower it 40mm.

but first of all i checked my oil the other day and when i opened the bonnet i found my cover was missing, not the main bit just the insert ....so ill have to go to the dealers on the weekend and get a new one


daz

That's odd mate!

 

[daz_cymru]

ino ....cant think where it went :s ....well atleast i can redesign it

 

[jonisginger]

I'm loving!! the colour coding!

Did you get the side strips done too?

I've got a deep blue leon so it's less noticebable, esp. at night.

Looking at getting a LCR splitter lol, bout £40, AND some Cupra R brakes and redstuff pads!

Anyway...strips?

 

[daz_cymru]

yeh i did mate ive got a pic somewhere ill try and find it for you ...

Looking at getting a LCR splitter lol, bout £40

Err wherever you got that price you're being ripped off mate, they are ~£20 from any Seat dealership.

 

[daz_cymru]

needs lowering i know .....ive decided to go for KW springs

 

[jonisginger]

I've not bought it yet!! I was just looking at eBay earlier...

 

[jonisginger]

Looks sweet as a nut, colour coding is out of my price range i think for pure cosmetics..brakes however...

 

[daz_cymru]

yeh the splitter is 18.95+vat iirc from stealer....and coding aint that bad if you shop around

 

[jonisginger]

Ahhh cheers, and what is the deal with putting a fabia wiper on a leon

im not saying its bad...i just dont understand it..

 

[daz_cymru]

just looks nicer than the standard one with the fabia one being enclosed type.....but i think im going to change to the golf mkV one as it looks abit sleeker imo

 

[jonisginger]

Ahhh ok.

btw daz cupra R discs and pads yuo can pick em up for liek £200 with decent pads

i well want some

 

[daz_cymru]

what size are they....and would i need new carriers and calipers ?


i saw an audi TT 225 312mm brake set on feebay the other day for 250+P&P (calipers, carriers discs and pads) think you might be able to get them cheaper from breakers yark or somewhere similar

 

[jonisginger]

nice.

i have 18" wheels, and im not sure about the calipers, almost certainly now i think about it.

 

[DannyC87]

I lost the insert on my 1.4s leon engine cover aswell; mine got replaced with gaffa tape as i was feeling cheap!! LCR discs are 323mm

 

[jonisginger]

standard leon ones are 282mm btw. (i think)

 

[jonisginger]

FEEBAY haha sorry, continue, good sir.

 

[daz_cymru]

lcr calipers are brembos aswell so could be pricey....

@DannyC87: did you find out where your engine cover insert went ?....gaffer type thinking of loosing the engine cover completely now

 

[DannyC87]

nope.. it just vanished!!! not sure how it came off either, they are fairly well clipped down..
