Power of the internet for you
Very nice car and the red looks mint. How do you manage mot time with no cat.
Im an hour from Saaaaffend
I haven't been to Clacton for ages! Haha yeah it was good years ago but a lot has changed down there unfortunately with road humps and injunctions now
If theres meets near by us we will have to meet up or something??
Cheers bud best colour to keep clean imo.
Joy of being in the motor trade I guess, get away with that sort of thing

Yeah last time I was in southend, gates and all sorts were in the way directing racers out of town, completing wreck the Friday - sat night seafront Meet up of 100s of modded cars
There doesn't seem to be much organisation with regards to a regular location Essex meet so locals can get to meet each other once a month ?? like dare I say it the RS owners club
PM over you deets bro and ill keep you informed if im in the hood at any time or if a meet kicks off any time

Too quick mate
My mate said that there is a VAG meeting at the end of the month in Chelmsford, so maybe worth going to?
I occasionally go down the front to see if anything has changed but its dead now
Its a nightmare really with meets and that,i can only put it down to not many Leons about, I don't really see that many round mine anyway. Which means we have to gatecrash a VAG meet lolWill send a PM soon bud

Of course I will, im pretty sure its the sunday
There did seem to be a little bit of a power gain, nothing major. It does sound a bit deeper than it did at first. I will try and get videos of it one day...
Little bit of spraying yesterday and today, been wanting to spray my door handles for a while now as the lacquer peel is driving me mad, only the drivers side left to.
Went for matte black with the heatshield as the metal was all scratched and didn't look nice imo
Now this was the worse handle out of them all so first I scraped all the loose lacquer with my nail
Sanded using 1000 grit then 2500
After its fourth coat and lacquered up
Another handle

Cheers dude, its a custom one based on RDS's template.
Cheers mate
Thanks mate, without your template I would have been stuck
Appreciate that mate, comments like this keep me going haha
Great work mate.
Liking the heat shield, really works with your bay, looks great
Cheers Tom, black shield tidy's it up a bit I think
Only a little mod I did today. Looking at my bay the one thing that lets it down is where the wiring is on the left hand side next to the washer bottle, it looks to exposed
So I got a bit of the finest b&q aluminium sheeting and designed a little cover for it, which will now have my HID ballast mounted to it rather than just hanging
Anyway....
Before..
All cut out
Sprayed
In place
Not to everyones taste I know but it does the job
