Aye mate. The pic was taken when I first had the car. It only had the Aura cassette headunit in at that time so couldn't play cd's.
Went to meet Arosaracer to pick up the disc changer and the pic was taken the next morning after fitting.
Have got most of the NOW compilations fron NOW 2 onwards

very nice ,

are they standard wiper arms on the front also? look nice!!

Cheers

The standard Leon arms have been removed and replaced with VW Golf arms and Golf aero blades bought from Lakeside VW in Stoke.
Have to move the N/S arm up about 2cm so that the blade doesn't touch the windscreen seal.

Although MK Ford Focus passenger aero wiper blades are smaller and also fit the Golf arms.
Looking to try and find a passenger side aero blade from a new shape Astra or Polo to see if they will go on without lifting the arm up as much.

mine came with areo wipers as standard hehehehe

 

[ArosaRacer]

that Cd changer looks like it came out of a LCR ?????

[ArosaRacer]

i know it was my one mate

 

[Rookwise]

Cheers matey. The changer is still going well nearly 12 months later
Fitted it just after you pulled off from the service station so I could listed to some cd's on the way home. Was getting fed up of NOW 8

 

[satilaboy]

where did you get your armrest? and how much? id you fit it yourself and is it easy to fit???

 

[Rookwise]

Got it from my local SEAT dealer, paid £117 for it (full kit) and that was with a 10% discount. Also fitted it myself as well. Very straightforward.

 

[rashcupra]

rims and lowered then it will be a suttle and nice ride

 

[Rookwise]

Maybe later in the year. Its already had the standard suspension removed and a full Leon Cupra suspension (shocks and springs) fitted which gives a 20mm drop over standard.
On the lookout for a set of AVO springs with a 40mm drop for it.

Gotta get a new exhaust now though cos the center bracket has broken again and the middle silencer has also decided to go

 

[rashcupra]

get her on coilovers you wont regret it the lower the better imo
