What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Daniel M]

Im just about to make a start restoring my headlights. Will put pics up in an hour or so.

I will be using some fine grades of wet n dry and my Porter Cable with various polishes.

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Nice lights jake i want to get them also.

Just received my led light kit. How the hell u get the interior lights out without scratching the plastic??

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Right got my led kit from partsulike. And im confused.

You get 3 type of bulb. A push in dome type x 5. One big festoon for the boot. And 8 x smaller festoons

In the front interior ligh u use 3 of the dome push in and the other two in the front side lights. Ive done the boot big festoon and use 4 other festoons in the rear roof interior lights and two number plate lights.

Ive now 4 led festoons left over n no idea where they are suppose to go if anywhere. And ive a dome pushin bulb in the glove box ive go no bulb for....

I am looking to buy the same kit but when I had a look at their website it gives you the option to buy resistors. My question is, do I need them as I thought this kit would work without any error lights on the dash without the need for resistors?

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Ive no errors so far and didnt buy the resistors

Washed inside and out, new turbo like I mentioned in another thread and fixed the glovebox

It may be a option for the footwell but I don't think any Leon's had them fitted or the numberplate other than that there are no others to change. I changed mine and then installed my own footwell lights for both the front and back ( back below)

 

[Rob_Talisman]

yeah weird isnt it. got the sunvisors done too now. light difference is incredible.

just need to get the glove box sorted. not sure if they have supplied right or if my car just had different fittings.

Tried to change the front fog light bulbs to whiter versions (as have them setup as DLR's via VCDS), but failed to gain access due to BTCC kit.
Bulbs were also the wrong type too, as Pre-FL and FL would appear to be different.....so gave up.......

yer im the same, i was going to laminex my fogs but dont fancy taking the bumper off...

[AndrewJB]

Updated the RNS310 firmware from version 0227 to 0357 which is the most recent

 

[holmefield]

Painted my brake calipers gloss black, they look sooooo much better than before...

 

[shnazzle]

Drove the Leon from Sheffield to Bedford to get my new MR2, then admired the Leon from the MR2 for the 4 hour journey to Blyth.

...the Leon really is a stunning looking car.

Had a great little cheeky flee around with the wife ! haha. She's no pussycat in the Leon

 

[Matthew FR]

Bought a BTCC replica spoiler off ebay, decided against fitting it.
Anyone on here interested before I ebay it again?
Primed just needs painted/fitted.
