Jake I love what your doing to your car, & hopefully when this rubbish winter weathers gone i'll b over to let you loose on saving my swirled paint work,but I have to say those exhaust pipes look c__p..way to small for the cut, In my opinion a tailpipe set up similar to the R32 one as used on the mk5 would look far better.

Bought myself a steam cleaner for the car, er mean house 
Used it as my seats looked a bit tarnished even once wet vac'd
Really impressed with it. Seats look a lot better, also did all the seals n dash etc come out really well
One negitive is I've lost my jacking cover again, going to buy the bloody steamer

Today, after the fail of the exhaust I decided to do this,

You can see the perforated holes, all four pipes have these, I've already covered the lower two, with half a piece of pipe,
This is all the fibreglass stuffing. Enough for two bin bags,

Here's the pipes all covered

We did weld all the edges before putting half the stuffing back in and welding shut,
The idea of this is. The perforated holes make the exhaust quieter and slow down the gases, by blocking off half these holes I've made the car louder and still kept away form any raspy-ness....
I can still open the other side and block the rest of the holes should I want more noise,
But tbh I'm happy with the sound, very oem just a bit deeper.
Here's a very pants vid.

Well that's a mod I've never seen before. Looks far to much work lol.
Tie wrap the jacking point cover onto the underside of the sill to save them coming off.

lot of work, but free, and it sounds good so saves £400 on a cat back system

Well the new air bag is in the uk, plan is to get the air ride all installed next sat,
I've been waiting so long for the bag. Everything is ready to be installed and run, so really it should be same sort of time as fitting coilovers.

Spec Cs are rather rare and I can understand why you would jump at the chance of owning one. But what a shame the Leon will be making way. I would have loved to have seen how this would have moved on come summer.
