That settled that then . WeeG u have one mean ass cupra there bud nice 1 love it when the flash b"st#*ds get shown how its done
Done 2 forced DPF regens on the fr 30.6% soot now down to 0% soot treated her to 25 quid bp ultimate diesel and a shot of diesel treatment, was funny on the regen a guy in a Porsche boxster didn't want to wait behind me doing 40mph so over took then after next roundabout my soot level was 0 so floored it he spotted me and tried to burn me off but had no such luck as I flew past he had a miserable look on his face hahaha!! Also had a play with a BMW 325i coupe on way home who also had no such luck ;-) really surprised just how quick the FR is tbh it's pretty shocking!!!

Ive heard a few scenarios off of other stage 2+ owners of luxury cars being embarrased by stage 2+ KO4 cars. They seem very capable due to power/weight.
THe lcr is 265 ps/ 261bhp the cupra was 240ps/236 bhp. But obviously tune to the same level
LOL most porsche boxster drivers look like that because the boxster is a bag of s"/te . Fair play on blowin him off and the 325i . Everyones blownin people off today hahahaha
Benj1989: Yeh its a standard 170 Pd lump but been a technician ive got it running very well and it does drive pretty well. Yeh it has Bags of Torque!!! going to do the ross-tech Butt Dyno on it soon and see what its producing.
Leero783: Yeh was hilarious just cos of the look he gave me when overtaking me, then the times changed hahaha and was definately not impressed with the 325i thought it would have been on a par but was just noise and not a lot of go!! Yeh defo Blow of day today!!

Bought a new car today
pics or it didn't happen... Congratulations though!
Nothing fantastic,but very annoying for something so simple...
Ok i changed the sidelights for some smd jobbies,much better....also changed the main beam H1s..wot a nightmare!! left side fine..no issues at all..even tho you cant see what your doing (everythings blind,back to front and upside down when changing these bulbs)...for some reason it felt like the wires for the bulbs had somehow became tangled in a way it was affecting the bulb retainer clip,after locating the new H1 into place the retainer clip would not clip in so to speak,it felt like the wires were stopping it (being in the way)..inevetibly the clip snapped and slid underneath the headlamp and when you cant see what your doing anyway made it so frustrating!
The headlamp needed to come off to find the clip but i gathered the only way of doing this was to remove the front bumper also..didnt want to do this so off i went to the shed,got the trolley jack out and jacked her up,took wheel off and inner arch liner...i could now put my head right up into the arch and was able to see what i was doing...clip was nowhere to be seen so i pinched a clip out of my old transit and bent it into shape to make it fit the leon....H1 now in,H1 nice and tight..job done..refitting is reversal of removal lol..cars good again...Lights now look good but was harder than it needed to be,il do the dipped H7s tomorrow..at least their easy (watch this space!)

New HID ballasts, bulbs, and new, smaller floor mats to match the interior of the car.
Look pretty well-balanced and have quite a defined beam

Thanks, mate! They're definitely an improvement from having HIDs in halogen reflectors and I also love the LEDs, but then again it's all about preference.
