AKS going down hill???

[Tfsi_Mike]

Was brilliant Rich  Alex has done a cracking job so far 

She's back off the road till I get Back from Afghanistan late feb / early Mar then straight to Bedford Autodrome for some propper testing & fun!

Glad to hear it mate.



I hear you managed to kiss a kerb though 

It's true 

Not too bad I hope.

Had recently been refurbed but the finish was sh*t so I'm not as pissed off as I could've been

Ah, not so bad then. Good.

Side note.

Calipers on my car. What colour would you go for 

[vRSAlex]

Been trying to keep the little project car a secret for a while.  Twin engine RS3 powered 

[Janner_Sy]

New courtesy car that...drove it earlier 

I thought Alex had a red cupra with a max power carbon bonnet as a courtesy car

Due due rotor envy I can't help you improve your brakes any more 

[Cupra R]

That's a shame. I thought the brake whore would be able to help me out 

I haven't seen the rotors yet but may of sourced the calipers thanks to Alex. The fronts need/will be refurb'd though hence my chance for a colour choice. However, due to all the bits to be fitted the money pot is more than drained. So, they'll probably just end up being black.

Are you going for the twin caliper 2piece rotor rear setup? If not what colour are your rears I'd say just match the rears. Red or black will look equally as good

No, I don't "think" the Leon needs the twin rear setup although happy to be proved otherwise.

The rear calipers are currently black. It's been suggested to maybe go white front leave rear black but personally think matching looks better.

Just don't think there's anything left in the piggy bank for a rear caliper colour change. So, probably black fronts with a ??? Decal 

You say Bedford in march??  Oh, BDay pressie to me!!!!

[Tfsi_Mike]

I don't think it needs that rear setup either. Just thought that you had chronic shiny kit syndrome like me haha

I not gonna deny that

Luminous green Rich, that would look awesome on a white car. I think players aka Ash had it on his ttrs on vagoc.

Maybe I ought to start a poll 

To do other than black I think I'd want the rears doing too to match Dave.

You get my email? 

What colour is Ash going for? Or is it a secret in preparation for next years show season.

I'm sure Alex enjoys working on the new project much more than some of the long-term stuff he has to work on.
