Nice car!
Could you post a close up picture of the wind deflectors? Personally I didn't really like the mudflaps. They seem to be screaming RALLY to me! But then again, you might just be r(e)ally into that!
Here you go:
They were €50 posted to my door, better than the €65 the shop near me wanted!
What I was talking about was the chrome grille surrounds. I got a set but they must have been for the standard leons (not leons with honeycomb grille) because they wouldn't go on my grilles at all.
Here's a pic:
I need flat grilles, these ones look like they sit over fins like the grilles in the FR+ or in the standard leons.
Cold Air Feed D.I.Y.
Bought a length of 40mm hoover pipe (12 pound)
Drilled a hole in airbox and inserted it and sealed around it later.
Ran this pipe down to front passengers scoop on the bumper. There are two pipes, the one in the pick below which runs from the scoop and into the bay, and this pipe then connects to the fronts scoop which is about 10 inches wide - I'm happy this will pick up enough air. Here's a pic of hoover pipe sitting in the pipe going to scoop. I did the needful to attach this to this pipe, as it was wider diameter.
I didn't want to get rid of the OEM air pipe after I found out that the battery tray is in the way of putting a bigger pipe from the airbox to the front bumper.
Car is pulling better definitely. Cheap 12 pound mod!

Sony 200 watt head unit and 6 cd changer
Wanted to keep cd changer from my last Leon (Sony) so I installed it along with my Sony headunit.
I mix my own CD's so this set up suits me.

Yeah I wouldn't mind having a look at your Leon, you've done a some of the mods I would have been thinking about. My car was remapped from 110 to 130 and I left it at that. I'll be changing up to an FR+ (hopefully) in a couple of months so I'm just researching how people got on with their mods at the moment, seeing what's the best way to go about them.
I love the yellow too, it was one of the reasons I bought the car in the first place, but it fades so bad! If I was keeping the car I'd definitely be respraying it to get it back to the original shade. When I change car I'm afraid I'll be changing colour too, preferably the platinum grey.
Love the platinum greys alright. Rite o well if you want to take a look at it, my number is 086 3929107 so you can send me a text sometime and I can meet you. I actually live very close to Dunnes.
Ok, looks ok!
I got rid of my chrome surroundings as I didn't like the look of em. Previous owner ho had them mounted. You could have gotten mine, but I threw them!
Here's the site I bought the angel eyes off.

Apparently I need to have 15 posts or more before I can link to other sites. Fair enough.
I remember now I had a little trouble finding right-hand drive lights when I was looking. These are RHD, but don't have a motor for raising and lowering the level, you've to swap over the one from your standard lights. Easy done. You would need the HID kit too though, it's what they're made for, light would be very poor otherwise.

I was just looking at that, very nice... making me think about sticking with the yellow!
Hi Liam, loving your machine. What a beauty!
Yeah it was running very bad, exhaust note changed, sounded like it was a petrol or sumtin!
Sounded like it was 'clicking' from running rich to lean, but this was just the egr stuck fully open with soot and letting too much fumes back into the inlet mani.
Since disconnecting it I feel the car is running better. The mani should stay cleaner now and help more air get in.
Do you want to sell those grills? I tried to get a set months ago but ebay had none left.Here you go:

Little more work
Here's some things I did lately.
Debadging: Off with SEAT LEON
Polish and Buff Up:
Pay cheque came in so went and bought two silly things I didn't need!
And something I DID need!!!
Driver's door seal (wasn't on the car when I got it first)
Then I thought I liked the look of the MK2 Leon letters on the back so got the letters (12 pound from dealer)

Nice job with the debadging, you didn't go over the top with it. I received my wind deflectors from FK Performance, 4 piece set delivered for €50! Thanks for putting me on to them, I was looking for them for ages, couldn't find any that were reasonably priced.
You got the 4 pieces for €50! I only got the 2! You rekon it's worth getting the back door ones too?
Yeah I was wondering if I should mention that I got the 4 piece for the same price as your 2 piece... Haha! I guess they just have a set price.
I personally prefer it with the back ones, it looks better in my opinion and I would always have the rear windows open a crack when I've the front ones open. It's up to yourself but I don't know how much you'd end up paying for them.
The L E O N's a nice touch by the way.
