Yes that what I want to do to mine. I want to honeycomb the centre one aswell with a black "s" badge too but that looks a little more "blue Peter"

Anyone got the part numbers for the Honeycomb grills as one of mine has broken clips :-(

Ok, my poor Leon has endure all the snow, rain and the London speed ramps over the last few months and its all took its toll

The cars now on 172K and there are problems are creeping in

First off i had a rear hubcentrric spacer destroy itself meaning iam back to standard ET on the LCR alloys and lost the 15mm poke i was enjoying

Second problem is the handbrake light keeps on flashing and making 3 beeps, normally when the handbrake is applied or just braking to a standstill or accelerating off a standstill, never say when driving down the mototrway. Is this a handbrake sensor issue or braking, abs, clutch issue ?

Third problem, clutch is starting to play up, when lifting the clutch pedal slightly the car jolts forward like you have had a little knock from behind, occasionally gets stuck in 1st when pulling off, with revs seeming to drop and the clutch louder then normal

and final problem tonight is the turbo making a police siren noise ?
dont know if its on its way out or its got an air\boost leak somewhere, its feeling under powered but to scared to proper boot it encase i damage it more if that is the problem

as far as i know its still on the original clutch and turbo or it certainly has been in the last 70K of its total 172K since in my ownership

I would love to say, stage 2 clutch with a bigger turbo and be done with it, but simply don't have the funds right now. Just bought a new skoda fabia rear wiper blade aswell

stripped the black paint off the front seat badge as it was stone chipped and the chrome was showing through and looked messy. Decided to carbon wrap it.

Handbrake could be sticking on - I'd try and grease up the exposed cable behind the discs and if needs be - get new return springs.

sounds about right, when i was reversing up the drive after not using it for just 2 days, there was a squealing and binding sound from the rear discs, like the handbrake was still engaged

Fitted some H&R 15mm (30mm Per Axel) Hubcentric spacers to the rear after my cheap ebay ones destroyed themselves. Hoping these will last the distance.

Fitted new recon Garrett GT1749VB Turbo along with a Darkside Developments Braided oil feed line. No more police siren sounds or bad over boosting :D
