I'm not a fan of the mk2 Leon as a whole, but DAYAM they add something. Anthracite would look epic on them :)

Are they snow or 'just' winter tyres? Performance review? ;)

They are just winters mate but they are grippy as hell tbh. Far less wheelspin when i open her up a bit versus the toyos I have on atm hahahaha

Hahahaha, got the winter tyres on mate and taking it easy.

Prefer the new wheels to the LM's mate.

Thanks mate, they have grown on me too now. Other wheels and tyres are up for sale on various websites. Can't believe some of the stupid offers some folk have made me for them. :ban: I will be looking at plastidipping these wheels next year, can have anthracite colour made up so I may just go down that route ;)

Well my 3d gel centre caps have been made up and will hopefully get them fitted on the week-end. I like them. Had two flipped so the image faces forwards on each respective side ;)

Well after some clutch slip started a while ago I have no choice but to upgrade the clutch now. So enter stage left 1x SACHS upgraded clutch kit. Should hopefully get this fitted within the next two weeks.

I found mine very heavy in traffic!!...

This kit is OEM feel mate but uprated to handle more torque. All the feedback I have had on this has been very positive and most of the guys on MKV have the same setup from the group buy they had. I will see how it feels anyway but I am sure I can manage. Only really use the car on week-ends hehehehehe Gonna take a loooooong time to bed it in with the amount of driving I do hahahaha

I'm not far behind you with the install of a new clutch Jase. Anything else you / people recommend whilst clutch (and possibly single/dual mass fly) is being done? Other than stg2+ bits and an insert on the dog bone mount the car is standard.

Cheers

Hi mate. I got it from APS - www.autops.co.uk Speak to Ed Jackson and tell him I refered you. I think it came to £475.00 roughly incl and shipping. The release bearing i got from TPS at about £45.00 as I get discount with them :p

SMF wont give an OEM feel I believe mate and you will have some rattling. If you are not going to be tracking your car often I wouldn't waste time with a diff, I said the same to Lee as I had a peloquin one and sold it myself.
