Damn... u have ur fr looking pretty much exactly how i want mine to look!! I have changed my pillars too and dropped it 40mm till i can get coilovers and am planning to spray the bottom centre of my bumper soon! I'm also looking to get the cupra front splitter

Any way to my question... where did you get your rear spoiler, i'm looking to get one a bit cheaper than straight out of the dealer?

Dave at SERE is your best bet but there about £105 + Roughly £100 For paint

Ok guys, time to do a bit more updating

First things first, I'll get to the good bit

Few pictures...

"My, my... I wonder whats getting done...?"

"That looks a lot like one of those big DPF thingy's, doesn't it?"

"Mmmmm... Shiney! Milltek produces these if I remember correctly...?"

Yes, thats right folks, I've finally taken the plunge and dove into the depths of the DPF delete crew and I must say... I'm loving it!

Just need to find a rolling road day, preferably at the same RR as I had the car on when standard and I will post up the results.

Another wee update on a less bhp increasing note...

Tinted the rear lights, let me know your thoughts please

 

[AndrewJB]

Just seen your video on Youtube

Not as smokey as mine

 

[White_Lady_170]

haha, its not overly noticeable when stationary. Needs to be in full flight, just a cloud of reek then

Just a quick insight for all you economy boys out there that's after a 30 something mile commute to my work this morning... Not bad going eh?

 

[AndrewJB]

I carnt get close to that

 

[asilaydying1234]

no way... i get 30mpg at best to work on the motorway

 

[AndrewJB]

I get around 40-44 most of the time

if i dropped to 60mph i spose i would get 50-60 but have you tried doing 60mph on the M1

 

[Guffers]

60mpg!

Im lucky if i get 25!!

 

[White_Lady_170]

It's great, on average I get around 100 miles more out of a tank now than I did when the car was standard!

 

[AndrewJB]

i Managed a 50.1 the other day on a 92 mile trip

 

[SX Driver]

I am new here and just saw your Leon.
Beautifull car you made of it.
Thats the car my girlfriend wants to marry me in!!

Nice work, I am hoping to follow a similar project with my K 1, please can you tell me how to remove the side repeaters? is it a "lever them out gently" or do you access them via the wheel arch?

Side repeaters have a spring-like catch on one side, prize the lens free using a flat head screwdriver with a microfibre over it so you don't scratch anything. Easy enough done.

Really lovely car mate,one of the nicest ive seen!!

 

[White_Lady_170]

Do a search on Ebay mate and you should find something...

Far as I remember they are pretty dear for what they are but I couldn't find anything cheaper!

 

[beeko85]

thanks, found em. yeah they are pretty steep but sure...they look the part

After the last rolling road day, I was a little disappointed with the result but luckily enough my tuner made a few tweaks and i'm now running an updated version. Much happier now with the figures and when I finally get round to fitting the rest of the Miltek hardware, I shouldn't be far off the majority of you guys on the mainland
