I wouldn't want to lose Bluetooth or the 18" wheels, could have maybe put up with a flat colour though ;)
I have fitted Osram silver stars to mine, whilst obviously not as good a Xenons they are definitely better than the standard fitments bulbs.


Just out of interest, which gives the better ride 17s or 18s. Before reading any reviews i was planning to order 17s as felt that the ride would be less bumpy. But car online say that the ride is better with 18s which confused the hell out of me at first. Just wondered if you had tried both?

One of the Leons I test drove had an arm rest in it. Felt quite nice at first as it added to the cocooness (is that a word) of the car, but first time I got stuck at the lights I found it awkward and in the way of the handbrake.

Might just be me though.

I've only ever driven FRs with 18" wheels I'm afraid, a demo and the one I bought. I would of thought the ride would be marginally better with 17" wheels. BUT I would go for the bigger rims, form over function for me :D
