bit dodgy pics, don't quit your day job. ;)
Looks good. Shinny vent things already on?
A VW beetle gear knob would finish that off nicely. check the leon forum for details.

Looks really subdued compared to the bright yellow dials in mine !
Actually, I'm getting quite attached to my yellow dials now :redface:
Slim, you got any pics of the outside ?
Muddy have you got brave enough to try the ESP out yet on your beezer !
:D

That can easily be fixed with a trip to Revo :D

Nahh, still carefully running it in...only 420 miles on it so far.
But I have been wondering how to "test" the ESP. I'm not really much of a hooligan, but would like to know what effect it has. Maybe in a week or two I might take a trip to DFS car park !
Did get to try the rain sensing wipers today though 'cos it was pissing down, they work really well. The Xenons are excellent too, really bright but I think one's aimed a bit too low. And I tried the cruise out today as well :D
And the very best bit about the car is the headlamp washers. They rise up out of the bumper like some James Bond style machine guns, and then blast the headlights with a spray that would put most pressure car washes to shame. Soaked my mate who was stood watching !
Can't wait till I pull up alongside some pedestrians or cyclists :p

Exert more pressure with right foot!:D
How to activate ESP -
go onto roundabout far too fast, turn, stamp on brakes, get rear end into a horrible mess, let computer get you round. :D

That's about all you can pass, how much of a head start did i give you ;) (and uphill - your tdi's forte).

I and it took you about half the hill to INCH past, of couse i was still getting 40mpg what were you getting at that point?? ;)

LOL
Yeah you were ragging it at 4200rpm in 4th and i cruised passed in 3rd and put it into 6th (felt sorry for you) and you couldn't even catch up when ragging it. If i'd put it in 4th i'd have been up that hill and have had time to stop have a cup of coffee get back in as you passed and overtake you again :D

The proper technique is to start in front of the R guys then have them gag on the Diesel smoke. :D :D ;)
Don't worry SBF, you'll be surprise how much faster your car will get with a few more miles on it (and that's no joke)!!!

LOL (again)
He was in front :spin: bur not for long :wave:
Even let him decide the rolling start speed, and time to go :devil:
Have to admit there was very little smoke anyway, maybe that's why his plan failed :D

Goot to know the CountDown seems to be working.
As for the hill, i should not have held on to 4th that long 5th at 4000 would have been a better gear a i was no longer accelerating (well we were going over ***mph!!!)
Not saying i woudl have managed but with a 80bhp atvantage then something had to give. Anyway i had the house keys so i could arrive any time i wanted!!!
Anyway i felf sorry for you Leo as you were soooooo unwell yesterday i am surprised you made it out of bed :redface: ;) :D
LEO LION R

Maybe it was all those pies you ate before for breakfast ;)
80bhp more maybe (depends on your standard car, as you know most are over 135 as standard) but your car is almost 200kg lighter and 30lbft more too.
So in an uphill battle (if you can call it that) i'd have thought it would have been closer. You hung on too long in 4th and i changed to early to 6th :redface:
Were just great drivers :cheers:

This ones a bit better still
Looks excellent, especially with that color interior. Much better than what some of the guys are stuck with "YELLA" (sorry guys).
can you get these shiny trim bits from seat as an add-on? how much? I already need a new gear stick knob, and find the black a bit dull ;)

Just need some nice pedals for that final touch.

I never should have let you start out in front, all those stones flying about - i had to stay back, besides i was playing with the leveling while driving in the dark - not easy i can tell you.
Anyway here's your ickle little diesel baby, nice colour ;)

and chipped :D
Then replace the exhaust, add a filter, change the intercooler, upgrade the brakes and install the turbo from the 150 engine.
Then you'll outrun the headlights.:D

Ouch - its only a few bits painted plastic!
I like the look of that shiny gearstick knob - might just stick with that for a while :)
The lock pins and gearstick surrounds cost me £17. The air-vent surrounds are the expensive bits (£70-odd).
lock pins - are they the door lock button things that go up and down? (not sure why they are even there with the central locking!?)
So you can see when the door is unlocked.
chrome vent surrounds only cost £20 or so however getting the dials done may cost a bit more.
Yes, my mistake - the painted ones are £70 fitted (and hence painted).

I would think so as the work involved in getting the dials done must be a bit.
