Nothing else "Secret" that's being done - everything else I've already mentioned in this thread ;)

Here's the latest photo of the painting I've finished on my handling modifications:

and our survey says : ehhhh uhhhhhh. :p

Nope - I did that on my Leon - and was a waste of time.
The other mod is another custom jobby - that nobody has every done before (in a mk4 ibiza anyway) - that I know of. It's not that special though!

Top work, to have an idea then bring it to reality yourself takes some skills.
I was an avid reader of your Leon guides prior to getting mine.
Now the Ibiza crew are getting the benefit of your ingenuity :thumbup:

Fingers crossed that I'll get all of these handling mods fitted in the next couple of weeks... and then it's an expensive month for me as insurance, and relatively big service is due, but with decent handling, and some new front tyres, I think I'll have a grin on my face :)

nope - not on the Yokos yet - with the very low mileage I'm actually doing at the moment, I'm only just on the TWI now... should give me a few more weeks yet :)

Bummer, sorry to hear that mate!

I decided to get the Yoko's fitted yesterday, as I wasn't too sure when I'd get round to getting them swapped otherwise. Probably had a couple of hundred miles left in them, but wasn't worth the hassle. When they were removed, it was noted that tyre wear was very uneven.

I've decided not to get my alignment done as I'm hoping to get my suspension fitted next weekend, which means it'll need doing again anyway.

Well fingers crossed for good weather this weekend - so all the work can be done!

I think I've decided that I've not got a use for the boot tray/parcel-shelf thingy, so might sell it on. Only issue is postage due to physical size of the item... will have to see how I get on. I believe Damoegan was interested, so will ask him first :)
