Wrapped various bits gloss black (roof badge grille rear badge part of the front bumper)

Debadged the rear leon letters
All interior lights changed to red led bulbs also added red led strips in the foot well
Had some features activated (needle sweep alarm chirp cornering fogs lap timer rear lights as drls)

Hi I didn't do it myself a local company that does my wrapping done it . It cost me 40 quid for the lot that's head and tail lights fogs third brake light and reflectors at a guess I'd say it's rather hard to do but if your patient I can't see why it can't be done . You can buy the kit off the website but to be fare for the price I paid it was worth getting them done

Just a quick message directed to the guys with Leons who are on PCP. Have you guys made any changes to your Leon and if so what have you done? Thanks :)

Not sure what your getting at only one I can see is the load liner and net just not taken a picture of that


ok it was that and something mentioning about roof vinyl but was a pic of the front of the car.
also wasn't sure about "painted the front bumper and polished the back out of it", was your car not having a red bumper to start with?
never mind. just thought it would have been good to make it a little clearer as its always great to see what people have done. its just a little confusing to read :)

Mk1 splitter looks good, think apart from key mod, that will be my first mod. Car looks great.
