what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[kingstonian]

one more tick on the calendar...one day less to delivery!

 

[Suicida1 Zombie]

Had the first set (As far as I am aware) of custom-made mudflaps ever installed on a MK3 FR put on my car.

Also had the wheels rotated while I was at it to even out the tread wear....

I washed mine since it was the first dry day in a while and noticed my rear drivers side reflector was missing trip to dealer on monday.

Same here, washed car this morning as it was going to be a nice dry day, then popped over to my mates to help remove his engine/gearbox.
Big bugger but got it out in two and a half hours.



No hoist, just a couple of jacks, cut the front frame as that van is scrap now, and slid the whole thing out

What page in the Haynes manual were you using for that approach?!

 

[forge197]

Took a trip to the tip with some paving slaps and garden junk that needing disposing off , then had some lunch and took the long way home.

Haynes manual? where we were going we don't need a Haynes manual!
Everything was unbolted properly, and would not have cut the front off if the van was going to be used again

Young stag to father stag: "Isn't that a 184PS Emocion Red Mk3 Leon SC FR?"

Father stag to young stag: "If you say so, son - if you say so."

This was the bit which I thought was going to be a c word.

My bro (who is better at all this stuff) said just stick it over it's no different to paint so I did and he was right. I measured how close I was to the wall with the solid tone from the parking sensors and then did it again after applying the vinyl and it was exactly the same.

 

[DeanC]

You can see here I just heated it and stretched it to fit around the sensor:

And this is how close the solid tone is (it starts beeping from about two feet):

 

[addsLEON]

So you just wrapped over the sensor while it was still attached to the bumper?? You never removed the sensor from the bumper?

Father stag to young stag: "If you say so, son - if you say so."

Father stag to young stag: "Watch the smile disappear son when I ran these antlers o'er the bonnet?"

Young stag to father stag: "Oh you are awful - but I like it. Me first?"
