Seat helped a lot, I forget the goodwill gesture name, but they covered 75% and only charged £80. I would have bought one from eBay and done it myself had they not

Gave a friend a lift during the storm last night, 140 miles on heavily sign-posted roads reminded me why I hate driving my Leon at night.
Lights perform extremely poor in the wet and the glare on signs is very dangerous. Had a car with very bright xenons and this was never an issue.
On the plus side, 49.7MPG @ 65MPH cruise control, running on E10 as my local didn't have any E5

Changed wheel colour to a grey-bronze colour (custom colour by KLC Wheel Refurbishment)
Comparison against gunmetal grey

Very nice. I looked at a replica set from CM Wheels, wasn't sure how they'd look on the Leon, but those look really good.
18 or 19?
Not sure I could sacrifice the ride quality for 19s.
Don't think the appearance will be significantly different on 18s, might treat myself in a few months
Anyone know where to get replacement windscreen washer jets? I want to get the mist style ones for the front as one side is knackered, so may as well do both.
My local Seat dealer was the cheapest source for the genuine items. A big improvement & less than two minutes to change.
Reiger front splitter fitted. Really is as easy as folk have said but getting a decent angle to photograph it isn't. With regards to the rear one, anyone know whether the standard tailpipes get a bit lost within it? I know some of you guys have gone bigger with rs3 style or twin twins but my intention is to leave the exhaust alone.

Quick clean, and out for a couple of pics ?
I went from Glasgow to London on a single tank ( 1.8 TSi DSG estate)
Averaged 43mpg and did 444miles
Not bad I think

Did the same thing on school run a while back. Small dink on an otherwise mint wheel and a chunk of the tyres rim protector hanging off. Spent the time carefully glueing the rubber back only to get an unrepairable puncture 2 weeks later anyway........Kerbed my front passenger wheel today attending a callout, too much rain to properly assess the damage but so far a scuff and small piece of rubber.
Had a good look today, tyre should be fine just needs gluing back down. Hopefully I don't get a puncture in 2 weeks.
I also found the source of the gnome under my dash, the motor for controlling the blend door has skipped a cog. No idea how to fix so the clicking noise is here to stay ?
