I mite leave the fuel flap covered for a bit, i like being different..i must admit im not that keen on it either but mite leave it to see if it grows on me..

the pillars took about 20/25 mins each mirrors took about 30 mins each as there quite tricky to get to fit back on as you have to cut the wrap right back on the inside, front and back badges were a RIGHT pain getting the wrap into the badge recesses...yet the fuel flap which with being round i expected to be tricky took 10mins..

i recon the scuttle panel would take me around 3hrs as its a big piece to do + not a straight forward shape to wrap.I recon i could do it but i'd have to take my time over the curves..

is the scuttle easy to get off?


Just ordered 3m carbon vinyl tonight going to be doing the skuttle, mirrors, badges and pillars. May also attempt the splitter?

Just booked in to remove a silencer from my FR and replace with a through pipe... For £45 I cannot grumble :)

Yer ordered mine today for the scuttle panel, I've been having a good look over it and I recon the area around the washer jets will be the hard bit.......im not sure whether the little square bit that washer jets sit in comes out or is fixed into the scuttle panel...

99% sure I've found the wheels off my old leon for sale on eBay. Won't be many people have the 17" FR alloys finished in satin anthracite and have 2 Goodyear eagle f1s and 2 Pirelli rossos. Gutted if they are cos they're wrecked! I wonder what condition my old car is in...

Best not to think about it mate, my last car was a Racing Puma (according to V5 data there are less than 250 left) and the last I heard it was being broken for parts :(

It must be pretty sad when you've spent loads of time/money on it and then to sell it on to someone that doesn't look after it!

Anyway, today I had a little fiddle with VCDS! I've enabled digital mph display and also ran the basic adjustment on my xenons.

After lowering my car the headlights have been absolutely abysmal. It's so so easy to use. I'm completely amazed at how far out they were, but there's so much more range now, I have my headlights back :D

Went and got the egr gasket, 3 quid. Couldn't find anyone with a TX50 torx bit, so hit halfrauds for one - 6 bloody quid! Fitting tomorrow, weather permitting.......
