SEAT leon luckily, if it had been one of the GTIs I would be  :cry:
The leon was unmarked until now. :sad:
I had planned from the start of this week to be using the Mk6 GTI as my daily driver. But im glad I put it off a week now (the leon had fuel in  :embarrassed: )

Nice job  :cool: I hope you cleaned the back of the number plate too. You didn't post a picture of that and I was afraid that you might have missed it.
Haha have no fear it was done  :wink:

No pic, no proof.  Bet the back of your number plate is filthy really  :grin:

My car's so dirty at the moment, I didn't actually recognise it. Yesterday, I was waiting for my other half to pick me up after running some errands in town, he drove past me 3 times before I realised it was my car. :embarrassed: :grin:

Need to get it booked in to dealer, 'service in 500 miles' reminder has started to flash up on the MFD.  Must order 2 new tyres as well.

Glad I didnt take either of the GTIs to work today. But still PISSED OFF.

Was moving in the traffic. When suddenly out the corner of my eye I spotted something heading from the sky towards me. Wasn't sure were it hit at the time as i was on a slip road so not easy to stop.
Dint down to metal + scratch on drivers wing. Something fell off the passenger train going over the bridge over the slip road down to the tyne bridge from swan house roundabout in Newcastle at 16:55 and hit me. Couldnt stop at the time to find out what it was exactly. Was shocked and suprised. Just my luck!

Angry as the leon was unmarked  :angry: but if it had been one of the GTIs I would be crying.

Lucky it didn't come through a window and hit you like in the movies final destination.

After selling one of my cars the other week I now at last have access to my 4post lift again.
This morning was spent fitting the full underbody engine cover back on instead of the half oem one.
Noticed I had oil on the pipe below the DV  again :-(  hope its just whats ran down from the air intake pipe failing a year ago that they never cleaned off. :undecided:
