Amazing, very responsive on the steering, nice firm suspension, not at all jarry.

Love the interior, very comfortable. Love the toys on the media system.

The only thing I don't like is the gear knob. It is just plain :( will look at what is available.

That's the downside of the new FR+...they removed the logo's from the seat's and the gear knob! - Don't really understand why, i thought they looked good!!

Nice one Dale!

Mine has arrived with the dealer but they are transferring my plate to it so likely to be the end of next week before I get it. Can't wait!

Quick questions - are you planning on just getting brighter bulbs to match the xenons or are you looking to do the LED option? I don't fancy error lights etc but will miss the white lights and LED DRLs on my TT!

Interested to see what you find on a replacement gear knob...I agree that the standard one in the latest FR is a bit dull.

Cheers

I have just been out to look at the lights and I definitely want to replace the sidelights and DLR to match the Xenons, they look so yellow and weak in comparison.

I'm going to keep an eye out for an FR gearknob and see what else is available.

Anyone know how easy it is to change the gear knob?

top motor mate same alloys as mine
I was torn between speed blue and candy white but a 2010 FR with all the toys in white came up and I was sold

did check out the FR+ and was disappointed with the logos disappearing off the seats and the awful gear knob a non descriptive black ball there are replacements available in the Leon accessory catalogue

a SeatCrpra.Net Sticker for the rear window!!!!

go for the small white external one, looks spot on top dead centre on the rear window under the central brake light!!

The dealer quoted me £260 fitted for one of those.

Can you still get to the drink holders beneath? does it open?

Where is the cheapest, I've seen £130 or so.
