My plugs were 2.5yrs old and replacing Iridium's is recommended every 2 years so it was time. The 7 ratings are for mapped cars mate so seeing as you have a custom code map it should help yours out a bit for the better I would think.

I don't know what my oem coils were tbh mate all I did know is they were 5+ years old and I wasn't surprised when one died. I'm sure if I had replaced them with oem one's I would have got that same feeling but the TFSI one's with adapters weren't that much more than an oem set so I wanted to give them a go and am pleased I did.

Wheels aren't far off now...

Looking good mate, should feel a lot better now :D

Cheers mate :) It sure does.

Sorry I missed your wheel choice Tom. I think you're right on your choice. They're similar to El's, which I absolutely love! Can't wait for the photos! :)

Haha no worries James! Yeah they are similar in they are 'spokey' in design. I'm a big fan of El's Rota's, he made a brilliant choice with them.

I will have to get some pics done when the wheels are on, and not using the iphone :whistle:

Nice one mate, looking foward to see them on :D

Cheers mate, me too.

:Dyou've finally gave in

Yeah mate. Plan was always around May time to get some.

Looking forward to seeing them fitted.

Me too :D

Looking forward to seeing them fitted, I think it's hard to find wheels that suit the leons.

Let's see what it turns out like next week mate :whistle:

I hate multi spoke wheels. All they are good for is causing trouble at home where they take so bloody long to clean!!!!!


Still great choice though :)

I hope it's a good choice, I'm pretty sure they'll work out but you never know with wheels until they're on. You've been through these motions as you know too well, but you had a great end result which was the main thing!

They not arrived yet :confused:

No mate, sadly not. :(

Delay at Speedline's end as they didn't have my fitment/colour in stock it turned out. I've been on the phone to Rimstyle today and it's 99% they'll be out for delivery early next week.

Would have dropped a note in here but I've not had wifi due to switching over to BT and waiting for that to activate. So just logging on to catch up while I'm round my sisters place.

Haha, I've known since last week it was going to be this next week coming so I'm less disappointed now. Just rung for an update today and Gary at Rimstyle was very honest with me and said realistically early next week they'll be sending them out for delivery.

I'll stick some pics up the evening they are on ;)

Yeah Gary there is a top bloke mate, really can't fault him at all. I know friends who have used him many years ago and the service was just the same then too.

It'll be worse when my mate sends me a teaser pic of them to me while I'm at work once they arrive at his work!! :wtf:
