Been ages since I updated this so thought I'd revisit the thread.
Since my last post I have done the following:
- Couple of faulty injectors replaced
- Changed gearbox oil due to a worn gear synchro
- Put the Leon
badge back on after painting gloss black
- Redid the front grill in gloss black but left the S silver
- Smoked the side repeaters
- Got rid of the LED sidelights after multiple experiments with different lighting and ultimately settled on halogen
- Rear wiper delete
- Changed a few OBD settings with Carista, enabled coming home lights, beep on lock and unlock, enabled boot pop, opening and closing windows with remote
- Rust repaired on sills, poorly by a bodyshop I'll never be going back to.
- Covered cars door cards with faux leather rather than the usual grey fabric.
- Deleted EGR by simply blocking the vac line.
- Seat dust caps
- Sanded number plate surrounds as to remove Seat logos, felt they looked a bit chav and boy racer
- Mr Muscle clean on turbo, helped but not fixed. Various additives used which again helped but I don't think it's going to fix it. Needs stripping and cleaning or replacing.
Bit short on cash at the minute so no major mods planned in the short term, mods and work coming up are as follows:
- Replace car mats, I'll be getting aftermarket but want some of decent quality with L E O N lettering on them.
- Repair rust on front wings
- Lowering springs
- Gloss black wrap around front number plate
- Paint dash satin black
- Friends scrapping his Audi A3 soon and will be giving me his semi leather S-Line seats.
Longer term plans are as follows:
- Replace or clean turbo, possibly upgrade turbo.
- Remap
- Change alloys for gun metal or gloss black
- Tint rear windows
- Add exhaust tip
- Tint rear and front lights with a subtle tint.
