Hi gang.
Have just bought myself a Leon FR tdi 150 in Apollo Blue. Should be picking it up in a couple of days.
Lots of umming and ahhing about 150 vs 184, but in the end, it'll spend most of its time trudging up and down the motorway and after taking both for a good test drive, there really wasn't that much in it, performance wise. The right deal came along on a 150, and at least running costs, insurance etc. should be a little cheaper... I can't really believe I've gone for the lower BHP option, but I've always got a 4.7l V8 convertible Mustang in the garage for grins at weekends.
It's in lovely nick with 18" wheels, tech and sound packs.
I was originally looking for red or white, but actually quite like the blue, as it's a little more 'under the radar' - not so in your face. Definitely needs the 18s, though, or it looks very under-wheeled.
Will be looking to make some config changes, so will have to look into an ObdEleven, unless there's someone local to Leicester or Coventry that would be willing to have a play in exchange for a couple of beers.
The other thing is that the dash looks quite plain / cheap. I can't believe nobody makes dash kits for the mk3 (that I can see, apart from HS-CNC).
Will have to post up some photos when I get her.
