Lovely that mate  :party:

I love subtle touches.

Do you have a part Nr for the jacking points?  Assuming it will be the same on the Leon

Part numbers for S3 Jacking points as follows:

8P0 802 845 - Front Left Jack Pad - 1 of required
8P0 802 846 - Front Right Jack Pad - 1 of required
8N0 804 583 - Rubber Buffers - 4 of required
8P0 802 847 - Plastic Jack Pad Plugs - 2 of required

Hopefully someone else can confirm if they are the same on the leon but to be honest I can't see why not. Soo much easier jacking the car up and safer too.

Can you tell me how you got hold of your number plaque please?

I know there is a whole topic on the number plaque but I would like to double check with you to make sure it's still same.

Thanks

Dan

Well considering how difficult and long it took to get my plaque from VW when I had the 25th Anniversary I was expecting to have to 1. Fight for it and 2. Wait a long time. Now to my surprise it was an absolute doddle. Here are the steps I took.

1. Rang VW customer service to request my plaque on a Thursday
2. Car reg was taken and I was advised that they would need to cheque that the car hadn't already had one assigned and sent out previously and that I would get a call on the following Monday.
3. Sure enough call came and I was advised that the plaque would be sent out via special delivery to my home address.
4. Wednesday plaque arrives and i'm a happy bunny  :happy2:

What kind of adhesive did you use for the seat inserts? Car looks mint.
thanks

No mate didn't speak to anyone in particular. The girl who answered knew what I was talking about but then requested a callback for me.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. High temperature paint turned up today so hopefully tomorrow I can get the hubs painted then wheels back on over the weekend. Might have to wait though as i'm off to Zante on Monday.

With regards to the seat inserts I actually got mine off the bay. Just used sticky pads to stick them down rather than superglue as if I ever want to remove them that will be much easier than superglue. Did use superglue for the red lettering though.

Back from a heavy week in Zante now and thought right I need to get the wheels on. Just before going though I did manage to clean the exhaust and paint all 4 wheel hubs.

First job was the wheel hubs. This took me a good 5 hours as I had to give each hub 2 coats of paint allowing 30 minutes in between coats. When you only have 1 decent jack (not including the rubbish scissor jack that comes with the car) and no axle stands it proved a time consuming job. Anyway I don't have any before pics but I'm sure you can all picture the surface rust that builds up on them almost instantly.

Here is a shot after I had finished painting but still has all the masking tape on.



Then I decided to clean up the exhaust and leave the wheels until I got back off holiday. Here are the before pics, and as you can see the pipes were looking a little sorry for themselves. I used Autosol metal polish which was great stuff.





During cleaning



Finally after lots of elbow grease and some assistance from a trusty dremmel here are the results





Now I landed home at 15:30 went straight home dumped my suitcase and got straight to work on putting my freshly refurbished wheels on. These were done by a company called aerocoat and I am extremely pleased with the result. Hope you like

Great work on the tailpipes! I managed one, it's still not brilliant.  The other is laughing at me.
