Car is looking very good mate. You should have done a how to on how to remove all those dash trims as I want to get mine done.

I was very conscious of breaking / snapping something but it was dead simple. I can PM you a few pics of where the clips are when your ready :thumbup:

Thanks for the comment :)


I have a snapped front ARB bracket. I cant get a replacement for three weeks :(

I'm wondering if I should wait untill the ARB is fixed to do my Geometry as I want Alex to give it some beans when testing the setup. Surely the ARB hanging on with 1 bracket wont give a true idea if its setup well :confused:

Also thinking of swapping my Cupra/S3 hubs for TT ones as they allow marginally better setup, I also want to know if I have Alloy rear hubs

Is it the stock ARB? I have mine lying in the workshop now but no brackets though as they are on the H&R ones now. Was surprised that the bracket had to be drilled for the front ones to get the nuts off. Please feel free to send me the pics of the clips. I have a trim removal tool so am sure I will manage, need to buy a hairdryer to do the wrapping unless I just get it painted up but am thinking CF wrap rather as the car is grey so may look better than gloss black.

Ive temporarily taken the fabia struts off and am ordering custom ones the same length as the Leon, will probably wait until I can afford a lexan rear (Polycarbonate lightweight) rear window so I dont have to get such a strong strut as the Fabia one was a little stiff to close.
Was okay for me but the missus will moan lol

Nige @ BCS just waiting for delivery of the oval tailpipe and then I'll be dropping my car off there :)

Haven't secured a buyer for miltek yet.

3week wait for arb fitting kit :(

Soon as the arb is fixed should be switching to Revo too

How much did the flocked dash parts cost you? Looks wicked Iv looked into flocking on previous cars but could never justify how much it cost on my cheap old cars lol
