They are OEM coil pack but the revised one used in the RS series of cars Im led to believe - could be wrong.

Car is looking very good :)

Quick question about the coilpacks - I could only see the ones listed for the non-R Leons, 150 and 180 bhp models. Were these the ones you got? Click here.

looking awesome mate :clap:

Cant wait to get my grills painted gloss black! (paints sitting in the cupboard, just need to find the time) :D

Cheers buddy, I'm getting there ;)

Yeah the gloss blacking is an easy mod and something that I reckon freshens up the exterior.

From 2500rpm the car pulls like a V6, under that it drives similar to before. The torque distribution is the main thing and it really keeps going through each gear.

I find it very obvious that its a turbo car now - the boost is very strong.

There are 2 maps, Agressive and the new Linear - the linear is £50 more and apparently very very good across the whole rev range BUT you can upgrade to it anyway so I went for the aggressive one first.

If you go for it make sure you have the uprated coil packs - mine popped 20 mins into the remap!

Car looks great matey.

Cheers fellah, need 1 maybe 2 more bits for outside.

UPDATE - Awesome have told me I have a Vacuum hose leak, pointed me in the right direction, it all looks alien to me

Fresh, Clean and Buffed.

Gave the whole exterior a machine polish today and applied its spring wax.

This is how I intend to keep the LCR's exterior with 1 more addition to be done (new splitter).
