I would like to make some jiggy jiggy with your chairs thankyouplease

I thought this disabled ALL airbags? I simply scotched a resistor (I forget the value, its all over VWvortex though) further back down the wires so as not to butcher the plug. Less than 2 quid to do all in.

Loving the seats Becks, lush. I too found the standard LC/LCR seats somewhat lacking in support and found myself hanging on to the steering wheel rather than concentrating on driving the thing! Recaro speeds for me though with supplied subframes :D
You guys are soo lucky living near to those great driving roads. Where were the pics taken? Up towards Oban way or more westwards towards Ayr?

Earlier you mentioned you wouldnt be putting Angel eyes back on, how come?

Looking good :D

I'll probably go down the same route with the resistor.

I used to feel I was trying to hang onto the wheel and hold the car at the same time too. Counter productive! The difference a good seat makes is huge, and they are sooooo comfy :D

I take it you mean the pics on the first page? They were in fact taken on the A832 just past Aultbea overlooking Loch Ewe. Google that, thats PROPER Scotland.

I didn't like tha angel eyes. The quality of the light projected was poor even with them with HIDs. It is possible to modify them (see unclefesters thread) but its a bit hardcore. I felt they were just too bling for the leon and an obvious mod, and thats not something i'm into.

You can disable individual airbags.

I thought that vag com can't over ride safety features? :confused:

Just disabling airbags, nothing too rocket sciencey... but safer than poking resistors into a system & hoping the rest works in an accident.

Bad news Becks, I've spotted another one! Saw it near Bathgate an hour ago, had a woman driving. Both myself and Kilo Brown saw it at the same time, when we were stuck in traffic in seperate cars after randomly seeing eachother and were chatting on the phone when we saw it.

Looked standard, not sure on fuel type. From the distance she had dark hair. I got the impression that it was the car a mother drove, may have had a child seat and what looked like sunblinds on the side windows.

Had the car waxed with the banana wax i mentioned in a previous post. The one used on the Evo was clear, however mine has a blue dye through it which sticks to stone chips and scratches. Really helps with the stonechips and swirls.

Oh and the Evo is my Dads, so thats where I get it from :D
