I'm not a fan of the badge in the front grill, doesn't seem to fit well like all the m sport badges you see people putting on the front of BMWs. I think the badge would look well on the lower front grill down in the corner somewhere. Something similar to the new Leon. Will look more OEM.

The cupra mk1 leon has the badge where ive put my fr one?

So its more in keeping with the oem look than putting it in the lower grille? :/

Polished and waxed

Looks nice jase that's what I was after b4 I got my Fabia was a bit out my price range at the time :(

Well after a while of doing nothing i have a few updates

Newspeed 28mm rarb waiting to go on

Had a clamp missing so got a lad to make me one up at work on the lathe! Cleaned and painted

Super pro arb bushes for my 2nd hand octy farb and new droplinks

As my dogbones knackered got a 2nd hand one and put powerflex bushes in and polished it up a little bit. Red powerflex diesel rear with powerflex front bush

Hopefully all will be fitted this weekend

Cheers

Oh and most important update and coolest

Free with bushes

Coming along nicely

Fitted the dogbone today!

Omg what a mission! Took me the good part of an hour to smash the old one off

Was mega corroded on!

Old one

New one fitted

Couldnt be bothered fitting my tt front arb as it looks too much work!

Verdict! Omg what a massive improvement. Actually very very little vibration at idle! Would recommend to anyone, gear changes are soo much more crisp

Good

Bad

Scrap yard time?

New plate! Means jack all to me but was a steal at £100! Suppose it has a J in it and i like the EGO bit

Hated the plastic cheapo handbrake so swapped it out for a nice perforated leather one off an octavia vrs

Also got rid of the horrible grey plastic rear view in favour of a black one

Subtle changes but its the small things

Where's good for cheap plates?

Looking good Jase

Where's good for cheap plates?

Internet forum's

Go that one via scottish vag!

Interesting option Jase. Where did you get them from?

Main site doesn't list Seat, or Skoda for that matter.

Flo-flex bushes?

Got them

On ebay... They are really quite good. The visual finish to them isnt as asthetically pleasing as powerflex but performance wise and fit into the wishbone they are very very good!

And £28 compared to £80 for powerflex swung the deal for me. Other forums ive posted on think the voided bush design is a good idea!

Try looking on the flo-flex website maybe at a polo?

Yeah Flo-Flex. The VW section doesn't even list the Mk5 Golf!

http://www.floflex.co.uk/

Just had a look they dont seem to do any

The stuff they seem to do is old school...

Seems like they stopped updating their products in 2002 lol

Suppose you got lucky there, as the Leon Mk1 was '99 onwards?

Very strange as could have been a decent option there!

Yeah i actually bought the ones listed for the mk4 golf. Took a chance on them as they were on e-bay with 35% off so got them delivered for £28 which is £7 a bush which is class!

They can make custom bushes from what i've read on the net.

Thanks, I've dropped them a line to see if they can offer anything.

Bit of pic whoring

Not bad for 102k i think

Bit of trip isn't it? Pity it's a work day as I'm only 15 mins from there and would have popped over
