I see no guide/sticky for replacing indicator bulbs, are they that simple that we dont need a guide ? Ide rather know what to do before attempting it !

And do the RS6 style allows bolt straight on ?

Firefox works ok for me - but good idea to clear the cache. I just typed in "changing indicator bulbs" if that helps.

Not looked at or done the rears yet though so no help there.

Will run a search now for info on the rs6 alloys, hope they bolt straight on without any messing

Info on changing all of the bulbs is in the manual that comes with your car

rs6 rims, 5x100 offset of 35 with a 40 profile should fit on fine

Thats what im looking at..found some 18"'s, they not a bit big ? thought 17"'s would of suited better ? 16" on there at the moment !

hahaha, il check that now !

Cmon though, we are blokes..do we ever read manuals ?

"dont worry love, il sort this Feckin TV out"

"just read the manual"

"manual? im a man for god sakes woman, we dont need manuals"

18s on yours will make it very tractor like...have to drop it mate.

17s may suit, but are lost in the leons huge arches, 18s will fit fine on et35 offset

VERY true!!

There were a few bits that were bugging me - like the A/C automatically turning itself on that I wanted to check, and I stumbled across the bulb guide!

What would you advise then ? Want it still to be practical whilst looking half decent !

 

[heatfan8]

18s....you will regret it in the long run imo

I should get 18's ? or i will regret getting 18"'s ? Been told i should do the brake upgrade too, otherwise they will look like milk bottle tops behind the alloys lol,

 

[heatfan8]

get 18's - you will regret it if you dont! You wouldn't NEED to upgrade the brakes - they are still doing the same amount of stopping!

Aye i know that, just..smaller brake discs would look like milk bottle tops lol.

These replica's ok ? Did a quick search and theres mixed views, some people are saying go for OEM but @ £2k + tyres from audi..i think the £400 ebay jobbies with tyres seem a better buy !

 

[heatfan8]

link??

I would go for replicas - sod paying £2k for originals! but the qualilty probably wont be there - I mean long term the laquer will poss start to peel and flake through corrosion.

go 18s, and lower 30mm on shocks and springs would be my advise all day. youll not regret that, 18s dont look massive on the leon.

the tdi sits higher than both the lc and r, so it will need a drop.

They wont be staying the silver colour though, from the offset i would be having them done antracite or black !.
