What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Daveb77]

Yep i have some...litarally take the old ones out of the bumper...plug in the new ones (make sure you push the plug in all the way) and bobs your uncle....their brill iv had mine a while now and no errors at all

Sorry do dig this up but received the leds etc today and removed trim inside boot where wires go to bumper but can't see what's required to pop out existing holders? Are they removed from outside? Didn't want to push too much with driver... Also do the resistor boxes just tuck inside? Not too much heat I would imagine? Sorry for idiot questions... Any info appreciated

Well getting a new car has stalled after the jokers offered me a ridiculous p/x price, so I may be looking to go private or go to another dealership, I have fell in love with the new vxr though so I'm not giving up that easily ! Anyway to take my mind off it a bit the leon went into the bodyshop today for a few bits to be resprayed ( diffuser, front grill, bottom grill, bottom lip and the triple r splitter )
Few rubbish pics below. It will be getting a full detail this weekend so it will be a chance to get some nice pictures with everything done

It's been booked in for about 5 weeks with me being on holiday etc. he's done a good job, I only wanted the splitter doing and bottom lip at first ( was previously vinyl) but decided to re do it all while it was there

Hi yea its pretty simple,you just unscrew the original holders and then you need to be a little bit forceful on one end of each holder to get them out (mine took quite a bit of pressure but came out in the end)...withdraw the holder from the bumper..unplug..place shiney new led holder in place..plug in (push plug all the way in till it will go no more) and then just rest the risistors inside the bumper.push and click new leds in place and watch them light up the road behind you

XCupra, I see mate just need to prize the buggers out! Ill gave a go tonight! Sounds like they are very bright too, fingers crossed not over the top : )

Sounds like quite alot of work Jim!

My R-ARB was set on stiffest setting straight away, i managed to test it out tonight finally and its made a big difference!

I have a neuspeed front and rear arb and noticed there are 2 holes where the droplinks connect to the arb . Which one would be the stiffer setting ?

Mine is currently set at the higher hole !!

Looking great man! Loving the white S badge at the front too. The red bits really make it stand out

 

[leero783]

Ok , well if yours is set at the stiffer setting what hole is it in ?, the one closest the d bend or the the other . If that makes sense !!

To set it to the stiffest setting looking at the pic it would be the hole closest to the D bend.
So the second hole in from the end of the bar.
The further in the link is on the bar will make it stiffer.
