Getting back to me today on turnaround time.  Was very helpful and spoke perfect English.  Might be pushed to get one before the move to England and then Carraige doubles 

How much would it be to get a bonnet wrapped red so the Mrs doesnt find out? 

Ill do it FOC if you get a piece of vinyl big enough!

Hey Mike, finally got a chance to get a video up for you,

So thats struts direct and Sirrocco bumpers a couple of clicks out? 

Much better than the fabia ones, kept banging my head!

Im thinking of 500NM and couple of clicks out on bumpers and also lightweight lexan rear window (not just for the boot pop but as part of weight saving lol)

Thanks mate

[b9rgo1234]

I had to adjust the bumpers, i think they are out 3 or 4 click now.
The struts are exactly the same length as the standard leon struts so open to the same height.
Im not sure how 500nm struts would do, if you fit lexan windows and remove the rear wiper motor that should save a fair bit weight

not had a rear wiper for 3 years  510NM then

Was quite stiff to shutt with fabia ones  500NM

[rich83]

Yeah the fabia ones are stiff... one reason why i sold my setup!

Mike, the struts from SD are adjustable. You can adjust the force of them with a little allen key to bleed off some of the gas

I will ring them.  I was looking at fixed force ones but if like you say you can fine tune them, should be able to get it bang on :)

Have you managed to source some 3m x 3m vinyl yet?

The company for the bonnet got back to me and said delivery for the bonnet would be 10 - 14 days.  I move out of my house in 11 days so it's cutting it fine. Might have to see if they will deliver to England... ;)

[Tfsi_Mike]

Some more parts to add to the pile of Winter to dos :)

Forgot to paste the pic    RS3 Top mounts (Hopefully stiffer rubber if not its a suspension service )
TT-RS Brake vents to kepp the NQS BBK cool on the streets of Nottingham 




Having a dilemna whether to take the plunge on a  Carbon bonnet atm.  680€ delivered to Uk.
It's that or two Recaro Pole positions.  Both will lose weight up front. Added a Lexan rear window to the want list too  

[keano]

Get those big heavy f*cker seats out Mike!

They look like they weigh about 50 stone.
