I'm tempted to just get read of the sound proofing on the bonnet, just looks a mess. Plus half the clips that hold it on have vanished.

How many are you short of as my new cover came with all new clips and as my one fitted has one missing I'd be more than happy to post you some for free let me know mate

This works wonders for cleaning it
http://www.ocado.com/webshop/produc...ray/98782011?gclid=CPLsi_a3jsICFavpwgodI1MAtA

However I've plastidipped mine. It still gets mouldy. It just makes cleaning it easier. I've yet to clear silicone the scuttle yet. That's next.


Cheers for that will look into it. My scuttle was done under the tip in 2012 but obviously as there is still some mold it's not 100%. So when I fit new one next week I shall seal the three holes in the middle.On my last Leon the water on soundproofing was crazy, regards sealing do you know of anybody who has sealed the outside rather than the underside ie between the bonnet and scuttle?

Yeah that's fair enough, I might just give it a good clean and it should look better once the clips are sorted.

Had a full deep clean valet on my car to get rid of the cannabis smell, the previous owner was defiantly a dealer.

Discovered that if you leave the side lights on and lock the car, when you unlock the car the dipped beams come for 30secs.;) once you start the car they revert to sidelights.:)

Ouch, hope you don't mind the plod chatting to you everytime you pass an ANPR camera.


It was from way out of my area. And I know he only owned it for about 2 weeks. It will be fine, once the smell has gone!

Bought these recently from Simon aka toosmles. So gave them some love and polished them up ready for fitting next week along with some other goodies.

Yep sidelights all ok and look great. No warning lights.

On eBay it's item number 260935185430

They are slightly whiter than the xenons but much better than standard. Now just to upgrade the DRL
bulbs.

Got to my car today and a 4x4's or something has reversed into it. They must have had a wheel on the back or something because it's only damaged the boot. Didn't leave a note, no cameras or anything. Fuming.

Man that's poo pee's me off people doing that kind of thing.We all make mistakes but least they could do is leave there number or something.Keep an eye out for any big arse 4x4 in the area chances are there may be damage to there's also.

From the witness mark left from the tyre it looks like brill back to front and upside down.Cant think of a make with this lettering in it.Would be good to use as evidence/identifying the culprit.

Good luck with it ECB I feel for you mate

Regards

Craig

Yeah I think it might say Bridgestone? I'm gong to keep an eye for one anyway. I know, can't imagine not leaving a note if bumped someone, it's just decent thing to do.

You're looking for a c*** with one of these strapped to the back:
