since owning the leon the pennies have been up n down with me bein made redundant again :angry:
so since march it had a forge 007p d/v followed by k+N 57i induction kit, then came the milltek cat back zaust,and a boost gauge. that  was it!!
 then last thursday i got some ronal wheels off a 225 audi TT nice 17s with 3 descent tyres n 1 scrap so hAd 2 avon zv5 fitted 225 45 17.
today its had a bit of a clean, havin just bought the megs 3 stage kit. st1 paint cleaner is quite good doesnt feel that abrasive but did remove the scratches round door handles etc
stg 2 the polish, dont really see what this actually did :lol:
st3 the wax went on nice and now the car feels quite silkey!! but ideally needs claying.
i havnt done nothing with the black bits, purely cuz i havnt nothing to do them with n not sure what to use, any recommendations?? bareing in mind i might C/C them so dont really wana use silicon based crap
any some pics

 








and 1 totally std

what you reckon comments welcome

had a boost gauge f itted, i spikes at 12 psi and holds 9-10 psi stable, which im lead to believe is spot on, booked in at midlands vw on friday for a cambelt kit and water pump. i normally repair my cars myself but having driven french diesels for last 7-8 yrs dont fancy the job, lol

what other mods would you guys do nxt?? any opinions? or donesnt any body wana talk bout my leon!!

couple of minor alterations,
sorted the boost gauge out, it now plumbed into inlet manifold, using the m6 hole that was already there just needed drilling out, thanks toph!! i used m6 grease nipple, removed the lip securing the spring and the tiny ball. any 1 else fancy doing this pm me! got plenty of nipples lol
 the 2nd new silicone breather, the rubber 1 was propa fooked! unfortunatly the plastic end wasnt very good n nearly broke off. so temperally taped it on.
i did take couple of pics but pc doesnt wana play nice n wont let me take them off my phone
