Thanks to Benjic for selling them to me. I believe there was a lot of interest

Not the best picture, hopefully get some better ones soon

*EDIT*

Looks so much better! It makes me sad but at least they have gone to a good home!
Yes you are right, you have upset a lot of people haha!

They do look good like. For me, I couldn't justify that amount of money on something I'd never get the benefit from! I guess they look nice to other people though. Having said that, if I could pick a set up for £150-£200 I may well end up doing it!

I think until recently you would have been able to get that price. They were around £300 new from the dealers I think, but they upped the price due to popular demand.

As before, the latest quote I got was £405 + VAT, which comes in around £485!

The look better with the brake lights on too, but I can't take picture and press brakes at the same time! I really do think they change the look of the car so much despite being such a small mod.

All I need now is someone to make some proper headlights for the RHD cars

Good luck with that! As alex says they are £500 near enough now, a set on ebay few weeks ago went for 360 second hand with 12 bids, probably members on here!
If you have the newer verision leon with them as standard it would be worth selling them on for easy money.
It says something when people are offering to drive 300 mile trip just to collect mine!
I wish I would have know 6 months ago or I would have bought 10 sets from dave

When I PX my Supercopa in about 2 years time I will be offering them for a swap plus say £300. The stealers will never know.

Maybe I could do the same with the Bi xenons too..............

People with mobility cars would benefit from this. Don't quote me on that!

I call shotgun on your lights! lol

Finally got my hands on this. It landed in the UK last week but unfortunatley got picked up by customs and I was billed £180 for VAT and duty. Still saved £100.

So saved my pennies, paid my dues and waiting until Friday to fit...

 

[AndrewJB]

What spec is it?

Im running Stage2 organic + SMF feels lovely (Pedal is heavy compared to OEM but i like it)

 

[Brinkz]

It's the Stage 2+ and steel SMF. Apparently it still has an OEM feel to it and the steel flywheel is quieter than the aluminum one. We will see on Friday hopefully.

Although, my stock clutch has now stopped slipping, sods law really lol

 

[AndrewJB]

My "Silent" SMF that wasn't silent at all on my FR TDI is silent on the LCR (We think it was due to the input shaft being knackered on my FR TDI)

Southbend advertise this as feeling OEM but its alot heavier (but i prefer it like that)

When we took out OEM kit, Clutch was in perfect condition (despite slipping like mad) DMF on the other hand was absolutely knackered (Had been rattling like a SMF since Santa Pod)

 

[Brinkz]

You have similar mileage to me too, i'm at 20k now. You're the second person who has changed their clutch recently and found the DMF is cream-crackered, think WeeG was the other.

I'm not fussed about the heavy pedal and as long as the 'chatter' isn't excessive i'll be happy - i've come from Jap rattle cans so this thing is pure silence at the moment lol

 

[AndrewJB]

Got to remember all of these cars are Ex-SEAT UK press cars

I went to Media day for the LCR, Rockingham

The cars have also been "abused" my Magazines, Top Gear, Fifth Gear and the likes of

Soon as you map them it puts extra pressure on them so was expected

You'd get a fair whack for the xenons I reckon.
