Citrus Yellow FR tdi :) PIC heavy

[gethinwr93]

Well thought I'd put up a few pic of my car

When i bought the car it was standard, and before i even got home and took a picture i took it to get the wheels refurbished in black :L

Few pics of it on the day ...






I then proceeded to paint the mirror caps satin black ( but I am going to re do them gloss black ASAP)



Took of the rear leon badges and got the back box removed + an oval tip installed as wasn't too keen on the twin pipes from factory





I then bought a gloss black front grill courtesy of Dave at Sere motors ( top bloke!)





I then vinyl wrapped behind number plate in gloss black



I felt the gears were a bit far when trying to change quickly so i ordered a quick shift ( only reducing the throw not side to side) alot easier to fit than expected!

Old one( bit dirty! )



And the new one fitted




Got a little sticker whilst at Alltypes ( but soon to loose it seeing as 4 days after putting it on my windscreen got broken whilst at work so awaiting replacement )




I then fitted a K and N panel filter, but due to it not producing any more induction sound i went ahead and bought a few pipes to put a cone filter on .

No pics of the intake yet will get some asap

Seeing as the car was getting on abit i thought it'd be better to get rid of the DPF , so gave simon at ecotechperformance a ring and got her booked in



and she made 216bhp and 320ft/lbs of torque , well chuffed



I have only driven it once since the dpf delete due to getting sent on a course with work so had a work car to drive down in



I have just ordered some coilovers to reduce the gigantic wheel arch gap!!

And i intend on spraying the middle lower bumper black + get a triple R splitter when funds allow


Any comments/thoughts welcome

thanks for looking
