Hi,
Ordered the Cupra R diffuser you have as original on your UK models.
Will probably paint it in titanium, so it match my Potenza 19" rims (which I powder coated in titanium 8AU)
Next step will be the Milltek exhaust :)

Ha! Thats my life every day. Currently got a terrible parking space for the station which is right next to a wall on one side and the stupid bitch on the other side parks on the line. I have millimetre clearance on each side and the doors always get bashed :(

Think twice. If your anything like me you'll have to do all sorts to get the next car perfect. You find it hard to check everything over when your buying a car. It's only when you live with it that you find it's faults. I find it a bit sickening that when I sell any vehicle of mine it is running close to 100% and anything that has not been addressed is identified to them but seemingly it doesn't work the other way around. If you know your car is good then stick with it. Just my thoughts, everbody has to do their own thing I know.:)

I meant general servicing. Discs,cv joints, gaiters, timing belts,aircon gased etc. There are people that either overstretch themselves on the fiancé and going on holiday etc to be able to service it properly or just don't care and drive until it dies. I put new seat brake discs, pads all round and slide pins along with new arms on my leon before 'I sold it. Parts cost 400 odd quid. My current car needs a new cam chain adjuster at £480 for adjuster, chain and gaskets. He tried to remedy it with a cheap replica part instead of an audi part.

Sorry for the bit of a moan. All the best whatever you decide and keep an eye out for unscrupulous/overstretched non-servicers. :)

Looks like this colour http://bit.ly/15VqKWH

Why can't your dealer supply it yet? You could try your local Trade Parts Specialist. They're genuine VAG parts and slightly cheaper than dealers.

If the dealer can't supply it because there's no UK stock of the part you could potentially be looking at months for them to regain stocks.

yeah ones i have been looking at i am making sure all audi service history with low miles but belts etc all replaced to save my costs plus looked into common issues this time (never do when buy cars intend to but dont happen) so i dont get a shock when i drive it home.

love my leon so not going to just jump in and get rid for any **** box thats been cleaned rather wait out little bit for right one or if leon sells for price up for bonus as gives me loads more options as not many people have 1.5-2k+ in back pocket to put on top of there car

Yeah there's no uk stock apparently, I've already paid for one so I'll give them a week or so.
If they can't come up with it, I'm going to try and use it as leverage to get some free coding done (l.e.d rears) when it comes cambelt, water pump and service time in January..
It's funny as the fascia was the only part I expected to be easy.

If they take too long I'll end up getting the one on that link, it looks like the right colour :)

I thought about buying one in any color and painting it, could be the excise I need to paint all the silver on the dash citrus yellow :)
