I've just bought a 55 plate Leon FR+ TDi. I've so far been fixing things and bringing them up to a basic standard. The more I fiddle the more I find the previous owners didn't care much about proper maintenance and just liked HIDs and £5 aftermarket speakers.
Eventually I will be doing some proper modifications but for now it will just be a log of relatively boring repairs and a bit of painting.
The first day I had the car:
