Ok cheers Mike, I'll have a look when I get the car back.

Did you wire it to a socket that had a fuse in it? that's what I'll do I think.

I went into a spare switched slot using an inline fuse holder on the live + wire

Update time;

These were a little unexpected today, but needed to be done, so without further a-do and £200 lighter;


New front discs and pads, weird that my car didn't have the brake wear connector for some reason? Anyway, hell of an improvement over what it was like before! The 345mm calipers a p*ss easy to get off, then 2 large bolts for the carriers and then a good old wack with a rubber mallet and the disc was off, took about 1:30hours to do both sides :)

Then these went on;



10mm front and 13mm rear, H+R, had them on my Audi. I think that they are brilliant quality for what they are! I was admiring them today while cleaning them up for fitment on the Leon and can understand why they cost a few bob :)

And for tomorrow is this;


Because the car currently looks like this  




So, now I have a full day to myself tomorrow, plan is;

Get the car jet washed including the wheel arches and use karcher foam wash,
Wash the car using 2 bucket method,
Rinse,
Get to work on the alloys and brake calipers,
Clay bar,
Wax,
Polish

And then we should be good to go for pictures, also need to get my front S badge painted tomorrow :)

One thing less to go wrong ;)

I am here:

Right, following on from yesterday's post;

Yellow Lamin-X side repeaters;


H+R spacers, these were the rear 13mm, mostly cleaned up :)


Quick snap of the new front discs, also used plenty of products to clean up my calipers, but I will do these yellow eventually;
The front's also have 10mm H+R spacers on.


And after nearly a full day of detailing....I'm let down by my iPhone camera.
It really doesn't do the pictures justice, the red is lovely and deep now, also the dirt build up in the arches has all gone.
Car was jet washed, foamed, washed with 2 bucket method, clay barred, waxed and then polished :) Only thing I haven't done is sort the wheels, as they need sealing but chances are, they'll be glass black in a few months anyway :)


And the arty farty shot :)

Cheers Mike,

Can't help thinking she's in dire need of being lower :( Don't suppose you know of anyone selling springs after upgrading to coilies do you? :D
Car will be just as dirty after my 5 hour trip back up from Devon tomorrow
