Did you fit it or did you get someone to do it. I currently have it sat in my garage to go on

Did it with a friend, quite easy, didn't know where to start but once we gave it a go it went smooth.
A bit of black sealant, few self tappers from the bottom

Strange question, but does painting the brake calipers cheapen the car when trading it in eventually?

Back in my days of valuing cars I’d never have looked negatively at a car with painted calipers. Dealer could repaint if really bothered. They’ll look more at condition, service history etc

So it’s a trip to my local seat garage. Coolant light comes on nearly every cold start. Open bonnet, undo coolant tank lid and restart and it goes. The fluid comes back to tank when I open it.

The fluid does not look like what the manual says. Mine is almost pink when the manual states purple g13.

The service manager has enjoy talking to me like a 18 year old who has no tech or engineering experience this could be very much fun day. Seat Leon mk3 184 44k miles

How did you re-attach the sensors? Also did you have help to remove and refit the bumper or was it a one man job?

I super glued them and also taped them for extra security - majority was a one man job just had a hand lifting off and supporting when detaching the sensor harness and same back on

New door sill plates, previous owner only had them on front doors and one was dented, which upon removing I noticed it’s dented the sill too. Not sure how they managed that.

Finally ordered a footrest.

It was delivered and fitted straight away

Much nicer and a bargain £15

Made my own FR style mudflaps today from standard universal black mudflaps.
I’m sure the stickers will probably come off at some point but then I was thinking about glueing some metal badges on them but they’re a tad smaller than the stickers.

Not sure if I should put the back ones on or leave it.
