Hi everyone, I just recently registered due to buying a Leon 1.9 TDi on an 08 plate. Nice to meet you!
The plan is to really make the car my own and go the full works, as I like to modify things and hate leaving stuff at factory haha.
However, before I get to that I have a few niggling things I need to sort out first. Hopefully a few of which some of you may be able to help me with! Ive searched the forum but I'm struggling to find the information I need, I seriously doubt I'm the first to ask but there is just so much to get through on here xD
So, here we go. I have a few scratches on the exterior black plastic trim near the rear drivers side door just to the right of the door handle - I was wondering what's the best way to restore this? The plastic has chipped off and left white marks, not just scuffs. Is there a specific paint I could buy or is it just a matter of replacing the trim? (and if so, anyone know the part number? xD)
I also want to do away with the boring grey dash fascia, so my idea was to purchase replacement trim and spray it black, as I've seen someone else do on this very forum. However I'm finding it difficult to find the correct part numbers. The pieces I'm after are the radio/cd player fascia, the climatronic fascia and the large piece that goes around the whole speedo above the steering wheel.
I just want to say thanks to anyone that can help in advance, looking forward to being an active member of the forum
