An optical illusion - it's the tiles on the chimney breast where it narrows in - it looks like a flat wall but the chimney is actually jutting out.. 10/10 for observation though...

I've note done anything from a performance point of view, but I have added chrome wing mirrors and Golf Mk V GTi pedals...

Yep! Spooky huh?! Neighbour had chrome mirrors first, and I loved look of it so I did same (after letting him know I was about to copy ;) ), as for Candy White - that was sheer fluke that we ordered the same at pretty much the same time. I think the Candy White & chrome mix looks really...

No, we both have standard FR's. The only difference is the neighbour's burns oil and mine burns money :D

Was just about to put mine in the garage when I spotted this photo opportunity... I'm thinking of press-ganging the rest of the residents into buying FR's and then getting the council to rename our street to "Avénue de Léon" What do you think? :D

I agree. I hadn't even had my FR 12 hours before I'd swapped out the pedals for MK V GTi pedals (I'd ordered them a couple of weeks in advance in preparation). They really help to finish off the interior.

I did a mockup in Candy with the steel inner guards:

Howdy neighbour :D Looks like I need the same polish as you to match your shiny pipes (ooer!) ;) Haven't got the sill guards yet - will give you a shout when I actually get around to it.

OK , that's good to know then :D Thanks!

Basically the exhaust on my TFSi FR usually has a coating of black soot on the bottom portion of both the exhausts every day (I do approx 86 miles each day). The amount varies depending on how much I use the Go Faster Pedal ( ;) ). When I wang it open the soot covers most of the bottom half of...

It shows the number for a couple of seconds, then is displays the name.

As said above, the first time you pair the devices if you look at the MFD in the dashboard you see all your contacts being copied across to the car. Took a good minute or so for mine to copy across the first time. So far I've used the iPhone and the iPhone 3G in mine without any problems...

certainly does!

Since owning my FR I've only put Tesco 99 or Shell VPower in mine. That was until one day when I was running on fumes and the garage had run out of VPower, so I had to use normal unleaded. It might be my imagination but I swear the car didn't have as much grunt. As soon as I was nearing empty I...

I forgot - I've got that rattle too. I've not tried it myself yet but apparently it's the clips rattling against each other. You need to remove the front panel around the vents then pad out the clips with something (like folded paper or something(?!) and clip it back in again so they don't...

There's a really annoying vibration coming from my passenger door. I've not isolated it yet as I've never been a passenger in it to find out exactly where in the door it is coming from (a point which my wife keeps pointing out! :D )

Wierd. Press CTRL-F5 on your keyboard to force a full reresh. Do you still see them?

The pics have disappeared.....

Wierd that this post should come up just as I was going to post something similar! It had rained yesterday and the paintwork had beaded well (just been waxed a couple of days ago). I went out for a quick cruise at a fairly relaxed 80-90mph and for some reason I thought I sit up straight and...

I agree that looks Photoshopped and also agree that the new Ibiza nose doesn't look good either. I thought Seat would take the cue's from the Leon and Altea when they brought the new Ibiza out and use the same shaped grille. This new elongated grill looks a bit "middle aged" IMO. :sick:
