This was the reason why I changed the engine. It was or a new gearbox or a new engine. Easy choice.

Modded AGU engine (Working on AUQ ECU perfectly) in the Leon.

I drove with a standard engine for 3 months when this happend:

Thanks a lot. The wheels need a refurb. There's some nasty damage. Not heavy but the don't deserve it. I also got some little damage on the front bumper. This all gonna be fixxed next year.

Bumpers where new. And I have no major plans anymore. Maybe a 24mm rear ARB from White line. But thats about it.

Looks great!

Where did you get the bumpers? Been looking around for them but I havn't had any luck. My local dealer was asking ~£200 to order a little plastic box for the boot for me so I'm not even going to ask what they want for a set of bumpers.
Any tips?

Sorry for the late reaction. Got the bumpers from ebay. New and never fitted. Was very happy with that. But new from the dealer they are like 500 each excl grills and other fitting stuff. And sometimes they are for sale on ebay.
