Final doctor's appointment today cleared me for driving after my 6 month stint is over! Woohoo!!!

So...to celebrate I've booked in the car for a DPF removal and stage2 map on the 18th, the day I can start driving.

Can't f-ing wait.

Fitted 2 new 235/35 R19 Michelin Pilot Supersports up front and i adore them more more each drive.

Best I ever had from the choice of Pirelli P zero Nero, Goodyear F1 assy type 2, Bridgestone RE050A and the least, Continental SC 3.

Are they really that good? I'm gonna be buying some tyres shortly and these are on the list but the price was putting me off. Other considerations were the Goodyears at £175 a corner or Uniroyal Rainsport2's at £115. The Michelins are £195 per corner and i'm trying to decide of they're £80 better than the Uniroyals.....?

Are you aware you have a MASSIVE chunk missing from your front left tyre?

Get them off and put some proper tyres on :)

Other than that...looks great!

Thinking about selling up and moving on to something else.
Anyone any ideas of resale value of a June 10 Leon Cupra R with 19k on is worth?
With or without mods?

Unfortunately that chunk came with the kurbing of them ... the other half decided she didnt pike the route that kfc had decided to use for there drive through! Hence the relaquering ..... and refurbing! Will be getting some properly sticky shoes on as soon as these are worn out...Im working on it! They leave awesome tram lines!

Washed the Leon again for the first time in ages. Couldn't be bothered with the gritters out in full force and crappy weather.

But I drew the line yesterday, I can only stand so much muck!

I'm going looking today but don't know what I want.
Don't know whether to buy a diesel to save putting £75 a week in this or buy something cheap and pocket some cash.

Had it 18 months.
Not giving up just fed up of increasing fuel bills.
My car takes £75 a week and her diesel leon does more miles for £40 a week.
I've had mk2 Leon's for over 5 years now and probably should've went for something different after my FR.
If I do decide to jump I'll have loads of mods for sale so we'll see.
