What did you and your MK2 do today?

Hahaha I didn't dare try left foot braking! It's not quite as smooth doing it with just one foot but its still good fun. I've learnt a lot about how to handle a car if I do ever happen to hit ice so that's good!
My instructor said I should seriously take the advanced driving course as he was really impressed with my throttle control and handling of the car!

Bit late but...
I thought that was made impossible in VAG cars because the throttle is deactivated when the brake is depressed.
Bit of a shame, but I guess if you're tracking it a lot you can get this disabled?

Porsche Cayenne not my leon, Patrick!

We were talking about the offroad section in a Cayenne at the Porsche experience centre :)

Oh I thought you mentioned a mate being told to do it on the track and almost sent the instructor flying ...I assumed that was in the Leon

ASS-U-ME

Cleaned out the interior and found some paraphernalia left behind from the previous owner.

So far I've deduced it was driven by a Welsh lady who may or may not work for Barclays, liked listening to Michael Buble and Del Amitri, and had children who are now missing their Chicken Little DVD and some miscellaneous pieces of lego :p

If this sounds like you feel free to drop me a PM!

Problem is I want to vinyl wrap the 'S' badge on the boot but really can't be bothered to do the letters too!

I plastidipped both and got pretty good results on it (Seat logo and Cupra letters), big plus is you dont have to mask every little corner which is a bitch.

Just make sure you do enough layers as the thicker the paint is on the car, the easier it will peel off. 1.5 hour job I think :)

I plasti dipped both the rear S badge and the letters on my old leon and was pleased with the result, but this car is white with everything else being gloss black so I was thinking gloss would be better!

Yeah I think they also do a glossifier now but it will never be gloss like spray or wrap. I''ll upload a pic of it in my RR thread in a bit, it might inspire you.

I did 4 coats of matt black and than 2 coats of the pearl glossifier and now it sits between gloss black (as the rest of the car) and the colour of my 19'' R wheels.
