What other things have you got in mind after you hit Stage 2+ with your White Rose? Fun is an understatement haha! Both following and wanting to mod is more than fun :D

Nice updates Craig, she's coming along well.

I have no idea how anyone manages stage 2? My FR with remap and DPF delete is shocking until you get to 3rd gear. Think I need the map adjusting as it maybe coming in too soon.

Stage 2+ is all great fun in the summer, but in rain and winter times, you have to drive like a granny just to get some traction :D. But I dont care as I have all the fun in the summer :D

Mainly going to concentrate on interior and handling mods I think mate

If your anything like me your get stage two plus then wonder how people operate fwd with any more than stage two plus.

Yes 2+ will do me mate plenty of power for a fwd IMO

Cheers Dan, yes perhaps have the map altered so it's more linear and less aggressive mate

Haha might as well say it's basically a FL climate control unit and fascia as I can't stand the pfl it's horrendous. My plan was to get it and also the stock head unit off a fl for now. I'm just unsure if the head unit would be plug and play or it would need coding.

As you know eventually I want the RNS-510 but that will have to wait for a while! Least until the summer obviously if one pops up cheap I'll jump on it but we shall see.

Also thinking about spraying the dashboard and speedo fascia's in a satin or Matt black but haven't made my mind up yet :think:

White is the best clour for the Leon

Love it mate my other option was speed blue but seen this and had to have her :)

Aye remember you had one I was going to message you about it regards cost.Might just wait and get the Rns-510 I've found someone who will supply a mint condition for £350.

The FL climate control mod hasn't been purchased yet,still available so will go and have a look next week.

Ultimately I want to do all fascia's in satin black but would want replacement panels then I can return to stock if I ever wanted to.

Couple of new parts nothing major but it all helps :D

First off is I've finally bought the battery box as the cloth cover just looks terrible



Second part is this speedo fascia I managed to get for next to nothing.



You will see in the pic that it has a scratch on it near the top but that's nothing major I'll soon make that disappear.

So I've decided that when I do the facelift climate control conversion and Rns-510 I'm going to spray all the surrounds/fascia's Satin black.

By having the above I could always return the dash to stock if I ever wanted to with minimal outlay.

Hard part is finding the climate control panel/surround for a reasonable price that isn't rough/damaged.
So for that the hunt continues.

Once all done it should look something like this but in Satin black



Will fit the battery box next week as I've a few things to do in the engine bay so hopefully get it all done in one go! That's if the weather is kind to me haha
