what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Kooper]

Looks like I'm going to have to book my Leon into a stealer! Started soundproofing the drivers door and somehow the bottom of window switches popped off, I tried putting them back together and aren't working! The switch part is very very loose!! Doh

Polished up the FR184 twin pipes with wire wool and autosol. A lot better looking than the dull factory standard!

I regret I've only signed up here yesterday..some good ideas was thinking on how to clean mine too..did the wire wool not scratch the pipes?

...said good bye. Gone to a new home and I hope/am sure both will be happy.

Just make sure you prime the exhaust with some autosol before attacking with the wire wool. Polish in straight back and forward motions and you'll be grand before buffing off to a shine. I repeated about 3 times before I got bored!!

Car got a slow puncture and when my wife went to put air in noticed a bulge.

Nothing major but equally nothing I'd risk with my daughter in the car.

Tyres where Kumho tyres that the dealer fitted to replace the fronts when I bought the car (factory fit Bridgestones on the rear) Terrible tyre in the wet and cold. Been wanting to replace them since getting the car to be honest but they've lasted 16,000 miles :-O Still had another 10.000 in them so nice excuse to get rid.

Kwik Fit of all places had an unbeatable deal on Michelin Pilot Super Sports so got the fronts changed straight away and the rears are being done as well on Saturday when they get the other 2 in stock.

Can't wait to drive this car on decent rubber in the summer as it was epic anyway!

Edit: The slow puncture was in fact a cracked rim and both Kumho were deforming inside as well. Thankfully I'd bought a spare rim to replace the kerbed rim anyway but the state of the Kumhos was worrying. This wasn't Kwik Fit trying to get me to buy tyres as I'd already bought them online. Says a lot for tyres, never had anything like that on my previous tyres (even budget Falkens I had on a MINI)

There is always a reason why they are cheap... Thankfully you discovered it this way rather than at speed....

Yeah, I was expecting them to put Bridgestones on to match the rear. Never noticed till after I'd collected the car.

The cheapest tyres I ever bought where some fallen FK-451's for the MINI and they were really good, better than the Dunlop Run flats they replaced in fact. But not as cheap as these POS Kumhos.

Did you fit the splitter yourself? Any fitting tips if you did?

Looks good, I especially like the bag of starburst

No, TRC did it for me didnt charge much and did it in 30mins so not worth risking

Didnt get them as shiny as yours, too cold out there but much better than it was

That's almost as annoying as when people accelerate when you move out to overtake. Not a problem in the Cupra though, I just blow them away haha.
