Leon gone then?The wood is nasty BTW.The wife is in the boot Na there is a dip in the drive, its a good place to see if the Lupo is too low. Leon went a couple of weeks ago.The wood IS vile, I do have a plan though Already swapped the gearknob with the leather one out of the Lupo.

99hjhm Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Can't the wood be sanded off to show the aluminium underneath, so it looks like the R32 stuff??I didn't like the Leon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Leon but at the end of the day it was an expensive luxury I didnt really need, I dont need a car for work so punted it for something cheaper, as I do little miles V6 isnt a problem.

Mr ColinG Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Well, handed the car over to Bobalob today and he worked his magic, full 80k service, fitted eibach lowering springs and new front pads.Got it back and worked some magic of my own Last weekend I fitted a new interior complete with heated loom, still got to connect the loom to the fuse box but its all in Got all the carbon trim fitted, much better, swapped the geaknob for the Lupos original also new pedals, W8 light tomorrow hopefully.Outside changed the rear lights and fitted aero rear wiper, front blades changed to aeros as well.Lastly a side on pic of how it sits now, better pics once its clean.
