Went down to Johns this morning to get the Avant mapped. Had in my head what i was going to get out of it etc, But my word, ive never had a mapped N/A before, and its miles better than i expected, its awesome having no lag, you cant half tell its been done' so smooth and the torque is very impressive, also alot more roar than before too which has put a massive smile on my face. all in all John @ Big Fish Tuning has done it again. Also another suprise which he had, he gave me some business cards he had made up, and on the back is a picture of my Leon' I appreciate that so much and is so nice of the fella as it acknowledges the work i put into that car, massive thanks John, you a star

It's a nice looking car , can't help thinking that the satin black make-over is not a good idea though. Each to their own I suppose , as long as you like it that's the main thing

I've just read your Seat Leon thread . After reading here that you ended up breaking it for spares , I was expecting to find a post about an accident somewhere along the line. I have to say it was a very good look you had with it I'm stunned you just woke up one morning and decided to throw it all away and break it for spares. Did you have a good offer on specific parts beforehand ? As for the black rather than chrome look I'll happily stand corrected if the end result looks anything like the Leon . Someone near me has attempted it with a new-ish Passat , the car is already black , he's sprayed everything that was silver / chrome black including the wheels and to my mind it looks absolutely s  te , I'll try and sneak a few pictures next time I see it
