After having a week on holiday in Crete, I’m back doing small jobs and tasks. Slowly ticking off stuff.
Spotted these mk2 leons while abroad:
Nice clean banana with some subtle mods
Little tatty but was sporting a very faded REVO
sticker on the side.
Fun fact - Nearly bought a mk2 tdi before the
ibiza but insurance was a little higher and I didn’t need the extra space, after just owning a VW Bora beforehand and never using the boot.
My insurance is up for renewal at the end of the month, always a nervous time especially for younger drivers but this year I’ve managed to get myself a good deal (in my opinion anyway).
Shopped around but nobody really matched a quote I got previously from a company at E38 few weeks ago. At 21 years old, I’ve ended up paying £650 with 4 year NCB, which included all mods declared, breakdown cover, legal cover, protected NCB, and protected excess.
Next task was to begin refurbing the
ibiza cupra alloys that I picked up. I bought a cheap dremel and some flapper sanding wheels and have spent the weekend going over any of the kerbing/heavier marks and sanding down the overall surface:
Next will be to hit them with filler primer and see where needs more work done. The plan for these is to repaint them in black and put them on my girlfriend’s
ibiza for a while since I’ve got my new OZ Superleggera’s to put on hopefully by the end of this week/next week. Managed to grab 4x Uniroyal Rainsports in 215/35/18 for a bargain price of £160 for the set! Hoping they go on with no rubbing/clearance issues, but I have a feeling I’ve maybe got a worn rear shock hence why one side sits
lower than the other, and also thinking of purchasing some powerflex strut top mounts which reduce front height by 10mm without having to adjust the
coilovers anymore.
