No worries I wanted it as well.

Not sure about the mph but your will have the multifunction as supercopa had satnav Bluetooth options in the screen

I bought this:
http://www.awesomegti.com/superpro-anti-lift-kit-mk5-mk6-golf-jetta-a3-s3-8p-leon-mk2-octavia-mk2

along with:
http://www.awesomegti.com/superpro-f-control-arm-inner-front-bush-kit-a3-8p-2wd-quattro-s3-cabriolet

and the super pro equivalent of this (can't find the super pro link):
http://www.awesomegti.com/powerflex-bush-pff85-704r-68682

and of course the H&R springs.

Took the car out for a run yesterday. Handling is much improved. And I see much less of the traction control light when putting the power down. Especially when the road surface is uneven. Cornering is much more responsive as well along with not breaking my back when I hit pot holes.

Legojon, quick question - I bought that carista thingy after seeing you with one on here. How did you get the mfd to display MPH in the main window? Was that done via Carista? It's just I select a 2010 Leon in the app but there isn't that many settings I can change. And I can't see one where it says display mph in the mfd

Hope you can help

Matt

Quick answer - I changed the country to Australia. Boring answer - summat about european countries having to have a km and a mph display so it forces you to have km.

ahhhh right, so I change to Australia does that mean the odometer changes from miles to km's?

Sounds a simple change but I'm sure it changes other stuff too lol

Thanks for the quick reply

Everything is still in miles for me, if I recall, when I changed to Australia it actually then gave me the option of miles or kms for 3 of the mfd displays (which I didn't have the choice of previously). So I just made sure they were all set to miles.

brilliant I will go and fiddle with this later, another question if youd be so kind, ive bought a load of led bulbs and new H7 bulbs to try and get closer to the xenon lights,

How do you get to the bulbs? on my old fiesta ST you had to take the whole headlight out!

The daytime running bulbs - what fitment are they? are they the T10 ones?

Yeah, the rubber cover is snug. It has tabs to pull it with. So you just pull that off. Then the DRL bulb holder twists to unlock it and it should then come out without any resistance.

looking at the bulbs you linked to are they supplied in pairs or singles? ie would I need to put 2 in the qty required?

Lol sorry for all these questions ruining your thread but you're the one with all the answers lol

They are sold as a pair. So you'd only need to order 1 pair.

Just had this fitted:

:D

Now just need to find a way to secure it so I don't throw it round the boot when cornering.
