Looking good mate. I was there a few hrs previous to you having mine serviced. Did you pick up the black washer fluid and expansion bottle caps? Think it will finish off the engine bay nicely.

ah but thats weight saving.  Thats different as theres a performance gain.  Im talking carbon inserts for fog lights, and grills etc that serve no purpose other than looking pretty

Yeah that's me.

I know what your saying. I'm generally not one for buying stick on parts as it were. I saw the mounts whilst I was down there and will probably get a set further down the line. As you recommended the Forge shortshifter and 42DD bushes, I imagine these would compliment them quite well.

So ive been back to Triple R Composites today to fit the splitter that they developed on my car (They have Done Facelift, Pre-Facelift and BTCC for the Leon)

Splitter


Being done



Done




Found this hiding behind the bumper


Then popped to see Alex @ AKS Tuning
Mine and TFSI Mike's Leon's

Alex's Octavia


Picked up my Black cap from Alex, These come from American VAG'S, AKS Tuning can supply these


And last but not least.... a small problem
