Fist pic off the boat



And in my usual fashion I have had it modified before I even pick it up.



So due to working a hell of alot of night shifts I haven't been able to go collect it yet, I pick it up on the 30th.

On the 2nd of july its booked in for the following:

VWR Springs


VWR Cup intake

After reading the gains APR have made on the 300 horse R with a Stage 1, I look forward to see how this progresses :evilgrin:

This.

Seat have gone leaps and bounds with the interior on the newer models in my opinion. Used to be a major put off for me because they looked dated inside compared to the Golf. But now, the new Leon's look awesome and the 280 is the same price as the MK7 GTi pretty much!

I'm falling more and more in love with the Seat Leon's over Golfs. This hasn't helped matters at all. :signLOL:
