Morning all,
I thought I would start a little diary about my Leon.
To start I got the car in January this year after needing something economical but still fun to drive and with some toys. I had an Alfa Giulietta before this and didn't want another of the same car as I'd had a different Giulietta before that one. Having never had anything from the VAG group I hadn't really considered them before but a red Leon caught my eye whilst browsing auto trader one day. So off I went to have a view and a test drive and I rather liked it but it didn't have the tech pack which was a let down. Whilst considering that car another popped up at my local dealers with the tech pack and after a look and drive a deal was done.
This is how she looked just after I got it.
First off the brakes were painted Red.
Then I went for the black bumper details.
In Progress
Done
At this point I fitted a piper cross air filter but no pictures as I got grumpy when the bolt made a bid for freedom onto the undertray :headhunt:
Also got a few VCDS changes added.
Mirrors fold on lock
Alarm chirps
The Seat drive profile light turned off so it's red in all modes
Needle Sweep
I had been on the lookout for the performance alloys but hadn't found a set then a set of R32 Reps came up locally.
Trial Fit
After new tyres and fitted
Debadged
And finally a couple nice photos
Not sure what I'm going to do next but there's normally something.
Thanks for reading.
