Visited Alex @ AKS today for some general maintenance

1. Replaced rear brakes and pads, Brakes are original and done 35k

Before






After



2. Topped up oil

3. Adjusted exhaust as it wouldn't stay in the middle

4. Removed Neuspeed P-Flo and replaced it with a REVO Ceramic intake





New vs Old



First impressions of the intake are that the car pulls alot stronger with it on over the Neuspeed, it sounds better aswell.

Yeah... those brakes look past their best!!  :smiley:

I would have thought youd get some gains from swapping to the REVO intake too.  :driver:

This afternoon I visited PartsULike to see if their MK2 Leon LED conversion kit they have listed would fit my car (I was sceptical the kit would fit because I've heard some of the bulbs are different in newer cars), Yes we were right the kit didn't fit.

Below are what we have changed and pictures of the original bulbs.

1. Sidelights

2. Mirror lights

3. Front interior lights

4. Rear interior lights

5. Glovebox

6. Boot light

7. Number plate lights


Once PartsULike have emailed me the exact specs of the bulbs we have replaced them with I will post the list.

Below are some poor quality pics of the new bulbs.

New vs old


Old

New


New sidelights with xenon headlights


LED numberplate


Front interior

Rear interior


I will try to get some better photos at some point.

Basically the only non LED lights I have on the car now are the DRL's and Fog's but I never use either of these so not going to bother.

Car is at AKS having its 40k service while I'm in Romania.

I'm possibly doing a deal aswell to trade the LCR in for a new MK3 Leon Cupra 280 with DSG, So the car will more than likely be up for sale in a few weeks.

Just read the entire thread! Really liked this car, just not the door stickers.

Look forward to the thread for the new motor  :drinking:
