A quick bump as this is rearing it's ugly head on several members cars again.

Got them back yesterday, thought I'd share a few photos of the new shade of chrome effect they applied! it was a brighter silver but they seem to have a nicer shade to em!

I think I like them!

The front seems to have settled on the Koni springs more too!

This is kind of a rehash on my post in the workshop forum...

I had my car valeted by oggy yesterday. I have to say, I was very impressed! I would highly recommend him.

Paul did a lovely job. The carpet is about ten shades lighter, the seats look fantastic - he also kindly kept the waste water from the carpet and windows to show me how much...

So i got my Octavia vrs on Tuesday evening in the ****ing rain (yes i no never buy a car in the rain ) and was well pleased by the basics of it so it came home ,Felt ok on the drive home no obvious problems so was more than happy .

Wednesday morning got up and it was still wet so started looking for tyres as i new they were all needing replaced...

Had 2 new tyres fitted today at 25K miles, the outside edges were fine but the centre section was down to the wear indicators. I had been running them a little hard I think.

had a crack in one of the foglights so thought while i was whipping the bumper off id change the sidelights and dip beam bulbs as well as the fogs, went for the ice blue upgrade from autobulbs.com, complete the look and dont make the xenons look out of place now, suprised how easy it was to get the bumper off, fitted some white 4 led sidelights...

Ok then, so one and a half weeks into owning my new Octy and what have i done and what do i think??

Well, i love the car :0) nice to drive and reasonable on fuel costs when your being sensible. Plus ofc the option to nail it and enjoy myself :giggle:
Changed from a Volvo 850 T5, which was also mapped and running about 275bhp, fair enough i...

Just fancy showing some pics of my Fabia vrs, bought totaly standard in may 2010.
Recently I've done a couple of subtle mods - Cupra Splitter, black grill, black fog light holders, tinted windows, chromed indicator bulbs, daylight headlight bulbs & new cd player with ipod connection!!
Wednesday 11th August - wheels are going in for...

Last week I stripped out some parts from the MX-5 and took them with me to work and while I was in the hotel at night I carbon wrapped them.

I just used the hotel hairdryer, and a craft knife with a little patience. The results are pretty good imho. I sanded all the components with some P1600 wet and dry first to give the film something to key...

I didn't order MDI with my car (i can't remember what the reason was) but i found SD cards not to fit with my way of working (itunes for podcasts) so i decided to retrofit MDI with OEM parts.

Parts...

Today I got the car in for it's tracking after fitting all the new parts and it was a mile out !
All sorted though and the steering wheel is straight again :)
Took a couple of pics of it on the lift, nothing special but thought I'd upload them anyways lol

My vRS






Trip to JKM

Hey all,
Ive had this car around three years now and it has functioned perfectly as my daily driver/family car but I have only ever done a few mods.
Ive decided rather than change car again Im going to mod it a little more and run it into the ground, allowing me to save for the weekend toy (probably a Supra) Ive always wanted, been meaning to get...
