Not a 100% but cosmetically I think I'm there now so it would just be engine upgrades etc.
what did you and your mk3 leon do today
- Thread starter seatleon2012
- Start date
Gave it a clean today and removed all the wheels for the first time since I got the car in January to give them a proper clean.
Also fitted the metal sports pedals & footrest that I got. They were from AliExpress but very good quality and fit. Took about 2 weeks to arrive. Can just see them in the last photo

@Chillout
Looks like he’s got a finished version: https://github.com/olli991/mib2std-toolbox#readme
What do you think?
It’s only for Technisat units.
I’ve got a Preh unit, but isn’t that the same company?
Bedankt!
Did all this to mine earlier in the year. Massive difference.
To get to the rear arches you need to remove the trim next to the where the seatbelt bolts into the body, the one with the clip to hold the belt, remove the bolt for the seatbelt(M8 or M10 Spline, can't remember), then remove the 2 screws in the C pillar trim(remove light on drivers side).
It should then pop off using a trim removal tool. I started in the bit around the small side window and worked my way back.
For all of you who soundproof your cars by themselves just try putting these on:

The rings do not fit on our speakers but you can still mount the round part behind each door speaker. You won't believe how much of a difference these make on the lower frequencies.

I had a couple of productive days 
I installed part of the Graficar interior vinyl set, as well as retrofitting a sunglasses-holder to the glovebox. I'm very satisfied with the result! (More pics and info here; https://www.drive2.com/l/587586436660766049/ )
And I installed a Ragazzon center muffler delete pipe last week. The exhaust sound now sounds a bit sportier, but not too much. Now I'm in doubt if I should replace the back box as well... but I haven't decided yet. (more pictures and info here: https://www.drive2.com/l/587313208021225802/)

Hi. Really interested in doing this. Do you have the part numbers and what wiring was needed to do it please?
Found a good price for the chrome key cap so decided to take a gamble and order one.
Not sure if they're genuine but they look it
Here's the link if anyone's interested:
Will post a pic later

So today I started the job of wrapping the horrible scratchy door pockets with something a bit softer and nicer feeling. There is a kit you can buy from Turkey, but i didn't like the felt material they use and wanted to go for something else. I settled on this stuff - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DPSGXQC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is a really nice sift feel material and seems to cut and stick well too.
I am lucky enough to have a new interior i am fitting so i have the door cards off. I also found removing the door handle made access much easier. Its a few torx screws and a couple of clips so not difficult.
I have added a couple of images of the door i have done so far. I am learning as i go so hopefully by the time i get to the front doors i will have perfected it!
