Verdict on the badgeless grill.....

Spent an hour wrapping it in gloss black wrap.....goes outside, takes standard grill off.....offers up the new grill......doesn't fit.

Doesn't fill out the hole in the same was the old grill does & the screw holes don't line up with the mounting holes.

Complete bag of sh1te and worse £85 ive spent!!.

Hahaha, I have seen the funny side myself mate.

Well once I'd stopped muttering to myself calling it every name under the sun and using expletives and calling myself an idiot lol

Sorry to hear it's not worked. Is it the wrong grille completely or is it just really badly made?

Cheers Mike....it appears to be badly made.

Lined up the screw holes at the top with the holes on the car & the grill sat too far back and didn't look right, plus is wasn't straight....There was a good inch, or inch & half between the bottom front edge of the grill & the front of the bumper....so it didn't sit 'flush' or fill the grill gap like the normal grill does.


I think I'll just wrap the 'S' on the stock grill in gloss black

Set about changing all the discs and pads today, got the front set done but failed on the rear as I didn't have the right bit to remove the carrier from the disc and then discovered that I have a screw in the front n/s tyre and a nail in the rear n/s tyre hopefully I can get them repaired instead of replaced.

Are you referring to the caliper carrier? If so, it doesn't need to be removed to change the rear disc, only the caliper and pads to remove to change the disc

Sorry to hear this mate, send it back and get a refund.Why would a company sell a product that's not fit for purpose. Shame because it looks tidy, but as you have found out until its fitted I guess you can't tell how good it is.

Do those LED rear lights fit the pre facelift mk2? Look awesome.

They are also about £400 lol.

Would cost you about £500-600 with a facelift tailgate.

Not my Leon but had a detailing job yesterday on this Nissan Juke.

Job was to sort the front bumper from the scum who crashed into it and drove off.

Started out with this.







After cleaning and machine polishing I finished with this.













Sorry about all the photos.

Cleaned and polished up the exhaust tips, don't think they had ever been done before and being a dirty diesel they were caked in soot, came up really nice considering the vehicles age (06 plate)

Wrapped the speaker surrounds in gloss black, not a fan of the grey ish ones that Seat sell so thought I would try something different as the door cards were just too much of the same bland plastic, needed something to break it up

Forgot to upload a picture of the speaker grills re-installed.
