Glad you're getting some decent progress Jake
What a terrible exhaust.

Longlife center?

[Dave J]

As said before - that exhaust is terrible!

Good work with the LED rears - they will be a nice touch  

[Andygtiiii]

Looks like he bent that exhaust round his knee

MUCH improved on the rear Jake top work bud.

[cuprajake]

Cheers bud.

Getting there.

Next I want to fit mirror puddle lights and lower door ones seen as they Leon doesn't come with them!!!

[cuprajake]

Decided to fit puddle lights to my mirrors.

No mean feet.

Basically the door cards are a complete pain in the arse. The full window mech is fitted to the back of the card, so before I started I checked that I could code the module with vagcom. The checks were good so I stripped the doors down and ran wires then added the pin and coded the lights.

Pics are poo but you get the idea. The lights come on upon unlocking and stay on longer than the coming hone lights. They also active when the doors are opened.
