Looks really nice mate :)

Your fuel consumption makes me jealous :(...In my R I get around 330 miles (a weeks worth of driving) before the petrol light comes on and it costs me £48ish to fill :(...

I do see an average of 30-35mpg though which isn't too bad :)...

Any chance of a couple of pics of the inside (dash, seats etc...)??!

You must drive like a saint..........and exclusively on dual carriageways at 56Mph to see that ;)

Not really fella. TBH I don't understand why so many people complain about the LCRs fuel consumption as I don't think its too bad...

Driving at 80mph (gps reading) returns about 32-34mpg on the motorway. I very rarely do short trips though so may be thats got something to do with it?

Want to leave for work early to go the long way, just so I can drive her. She awsome. Done 400 miles since Saturday and still got just less than half a tank of fuel left. Averaging 48mpg never seen it below 45mpg. Im in love but dont tell the wife:redface: :lol: :funk: [B)]

Is that mostly motorway driving?

I just got 32 MPG (380miles) on a full tank of BP Ultimate Diesel, that was 80% round town driving (all 30MPH roads) and a short dual carriage way trip every day to work at around 70-80MPH :shrug:

I never get the chance to do a majority all Motorway tank so can't really comment, I have looked at the instant MPG when on the motorway at 70MPH in 6th and it is on around 45-55 MPG along the flat, but drops to 30 ish when keeping the power on for inclines.

:confused:

And those sexy smoked lights on the other thread. They look great on the black lay-own. Contrary to a lot of people, I like the silver mirrors too. Very audi sport!

Snoop I will do over time. I had the dealer fit the armrest as part of the sale, that and a bootliner. Armrest is great apart from getting in the way of the handbrake, but that doesn't bother me.

I thought the FR+ replaced the FR to use up bits? I bet you 17 pence that you couldn't buy them both new at the same time.

The FR+ definately didnt cost any more RRP but no FR or FR+ was selling for the RRP anyway just before the MK2 Leon came out.

What was the new price of the FR TDI, around £16.6k? Whenever I was buying mine last March, they were selling for £14k new and £13 for a Demo with a few k miles. Those prices were the same either the FR or FR+, the FR+ was just more attractive to buy and maybe some dealers were selling the normal FR versions slightly cheaper.

I cant complain that my car would sell for more now than I paid for it 13 months ago!

Oh well must have been ripped off. It has got the R bumpers and wheels.
Are there any other differences between the FR and FR+?

I have just bought one in black FR+ as well and i am really happy with it, they are superb to drive even better though with custom code and green filter.

Welcome to the club! Economy and power, cant beat it!

looking nice too, love them in black (not as much as red though!). Are your seats grey?

mine had just less than 10k when i bought it in the New Year and was averaging about 37mpg (all short trips and town driving), its slowly crept up to around 42mpg at just over 12k. Pretty glad its starting to loosen up a bit!

I'm the same too, i still find any excuse to go out for a spin!
