I had Eibach Sporlines on the GTI. I've ordered H&Rs for the Leon. Be interesting to see how the compare.

Evenin all! Got my roof, mirrors (previous owner had them white along with wheels), and badges wrapped Gloss black today. I think it looks much better.
Quick couple of iPhone pics. Booked in for service and springs fitted tommorow! :party: :party:
Opinions welcome as always.

No interior shots, I'll get some up soon. No 'map on the cards either. Once I get the springs on that'll be the last big mod for a while! Either that or a divorce will be on the cards.
AWESOME!   :drool:

Re: H&Rs fitted

Ok so got my H&R springs fitted last week. Impressed with the ride quality. Only marginally harsher than standard.
Whilst it was in for springs she got serviced and brake fluid changes too.
Also changed the horrible factory head unit.
Anyhoo - standard crappy iPhone pics:












Really need some better pics. Comments welcome as always tho!

Probably my favourite aftermarket DINN2 head unit there. Seems to fit very nicely and looks OEM+ without standing out in the wrong ways  :happy2:

Springs do look good, gives a similar drop to mine in terms of arch gap left. What I call a practi-drop  :laugh:
