Hyphons

And another from today, this time at Winspit Quarry

2 taken in Corfe Castle, I've passed the Wolseley plenty of times and finally took a photo

Guess we're skipping October then Tony 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

A few from around the Tyneham area yesterday, the photo of the deer was an accidental one, it wasn't until I had the photo up on the laptop that I saw him/her

The photos were 20+mb so another photo from yesterday, quite a lot of localised flooding as this quiet stream turned into a raging torrent very quickly.

One from yesterday after getting caught out in what was quite a biblical storm cell that rolled through Branksome

This is probably one of my favourite shots taken so far! A quick visit to Swanage to pass the time, walking along the beach and saw this lone Sandcastle standing tall despite the incoming tide and rough sea

A couple of recent shots A small boat run aground at Mudeford Quay after breaking its moorings the day before Storm Ellen hit (the photo itself was taken the day after its moorings broke) Lake Pier in Lower Hamworthy at low tide yesterday evening.

I do believe they did with the 1960's model

Something car related for a change, classic car dealer in Burley taken late yesterday evening

Another one from Knowlton Church a couple of days ago as storm clouds formed in the distance

Tonight's sunset from Sandbanks in Poole, I'd missed yesterday's so I was glad it was just as good as yesterday's sunset

Knowlton Church yesterday evening

A couple from a recent trip to Longleat, the remaining are to large to upload 🤦‍♂️

Cutt Mill just outside Sturminster Newton, this Mill has been around since the early 18th Century and ravaged by 2 fires, the first being March 1817, the Mill was rebuilt but its believed commercial milling ceased in the 1920's, the building was set upon by arsonists in 2003 and has lied in ruin since.

Check out this website, the owner is incredibly helpful and the parts will be packaged as if you've bought brand new, if you can't see what you need drop an email to the chap as he's often getting stock in https://vwupparts.com/

Bought a new light panel the other day, definitely a worthy purchase! I also snapped this one whilst balancing the camera on the window frame which I think came up nicely And lastly I got these 2 today of 2 different Robin in the garden.

Heko wind deflectors will stop water coming in, it'll also allow you to crack the window in the rain and keep dry, make sure you get a 5 door one as 3 door will be too long https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152301049582

Always good to share guides etc, hope you don't mind but I've flagged it and asked a mod to move it to the Citigo guides where it is best placed if you can amend the original post, maybe put guide in the title so future Citigoers can find it

2 different photos, these were taken yesterday, very much like how the Rolls came out

My above post continued..

Wahoo! I'm getting myself back into photography and invested in a new Nikon D850, some snaps over the last few days, I can't fit them all in one post so I'll add another one below. Sunset taken at Sandbanks on Tuesday. Wild horses in the New Forest yesterday.

So, what is this project and why did i restart it? I kind of lost some motivation on the the first project thread and sort of gave up, the old topic was kind of messy, unrelated posts etc. and because I started the original project back in 2014 (nearly 2 years ago!) I know if I looked back through it, a lot of photos would be deleted or no longer visible, I'm going to lay out this topic in a similar way to the topic on Mighty Car Mods. When the topic first started out, I had no big plans for the car, how much the car has transformed over the years has been down to 2 main factors, Briskoda.net and Updown789, who I met through Briskoda just over a year ago, his help with the car has been huge and without him, the car wouldn't be what it is today. We've had our moments at times and disagreements, but we have always looked back and laughed about them. (I also mustn't forget Stormchaser, who has also lent a hand or 2 every once and a while and provided a few parts for the car as well as anyone else who has helped me and I haven't named.) Let's get into things.. to keep things short and sweet, I'll post all the major changes that have been made (so I won't bother posting about the Heko wind deflectors etc.).. i'll be honest too, during my time of ownership I have done some mighty **** looking modifications and made mistakes for choosing modifications that haven't exactly looked great.. it's all about learning from your mistakes though.. right..? This is going to be a mighty long first post. 14th January 2013, the day I bought the car, a standard Citigo SE model in Tornado Red with the winter pack (heated seats, electric heated mirrors) and 14" Apus wheels. 12th June 2014 - I crashed. (Not my fault, doing the speed limit and a deer came out and I had nowhere to go.) The parts damaged were: - Bonnet - Headlight - Headlight bracket - Bumper to side panel clip - Inner wheel arch - Side panel - Front bumper 18th July 2014 - Debadged the rear after being motivated to do it by Stormchaser. (Apologies I haven't got a great picture. Also this was done whilst the car was still being repaired.) 24th July 2014 - Finally the car was repaired, having 0 knowledge of cars and how parts worked, I fitted and sourced all the parts myself from eBay & Skoda, the wing I bought did need respraying and due to my lack of knowledge on cars, the person who resprayed the wing, didn't use the cars paint code so, it's not the right shade of red. The wheels were also resprayed black, by again the same person, this was also done on the cheap as I later found obvious runs in the paint and it was done with the tyre still on the wheel. 23rd March 2015 - It begins.. having purchased a incorrectly described headlight switch, which was chrome, I wanted chrome to match the chrome heater controls, turns out it was from an Up! so illuminated red and not green, however this prompted me to wanting to change all the lights in the car to red, as I liked the look and colour, so I got some Volkswagen Up! heater controls & buttons to match. 14th April 2015 - First of many big changes, H&R lowering springs. (35mm.) 19th April 2015 (An educated guess..) - Changed front grille over to a Monte Carlo one from the OEM Chrome one. (Again IIRC, this was originally Stormchaser's.) 21st May 2015 - After noticing my front numberplates were tired and worn I changed them out for some funky 3D effect number plates. 11th June 2015 - Without a doubt in my mind the worst modification I have ever done, I got completely fobbed off by an eBay seller and bought what I thought were genuine leather seats, which it turned out, was just leather sprayed onto the original cloth seats (if you think they look rubbish in the photos, just imagine what they looked like in person! :D) 20th June 2015 - Upgraded the speakers to FLI ones. (No pictures due to limitations on how many pictures can be posted to one single post on Briskoda.) 11th July 2015 - FLI Rear speakers added. (Had none in the rear from factory.) (No pictures due to limitations on how many pictures can be posted to one single post on Briskoda.) 17th July 2015 - Volkswagen Up! radio finally fitted to match the heater controls, also, this is gloss black opposed to the standard plastic look the Skoda Citigo radio has. 22nd August 2015 - Functioning autolights with coming and leaving home function enabled via VCDS. 28th September 2015 - Another addition to the red theme, W8 Interior Light. 2nd October 2015 - Actual leather seats! Okay, not 100% leather, rather a mix of both pleather and leather done by Seat Surgeons in West Yorkshire. 4th October 2015 - Following on with more leather bits, a Volkswagen Up! leather handbrake and Gearknob. 17th October 2015 - Said goodbye to the H&R springs and upgraded to KW Variant 1 Coilovers (secondhand) to lower the car that ever so slightly more. An up to date picture just after the coilovers. 17th - 18th November 2015 - Had the car professionally detailed and paintwork also corrected, 20 hours labour. 3rd December 2015 - Dewipered. (The plastic bung was soon replaced with a flush glass one.) 9th January 2016 - Continuing with the leather theme, MK3 Skoda Octavia leather MF steering wheel. 13th February 2016 - MY16 Skoda CItigo Monte Carlo cherry red centre console fitted. 23rd March 2016 - No photos.. however the car was remapped by EcoTuning with a map from Celtic Tuning.. what this started was a complete change in terms of what route I was taking the car down. 13th April 2016 - Chopped off the resonance chamber from the OEM intake pipe. Now with a remap, I was on the hunt for more power from the 1.0 engine, this one mod is what started a long road to find the best intake pipe I could make/find. 17th April 2016 - More attempts to gain power, with Updown789's help, we de-restricted the filter box. (This was of course smoothed.) 5th May 2016 - Redid the intake pipe with a Silicone bend. And also picked up some freshly refurbished Volkswagen Avus wheels found on the old Volkswagen Cabriolets, these wheels were originally in Updown789's possession however I purchased them from him and had them diamond cut and resprayed by Motura in Ferndown. 13th May 2016 - It turned out the silicone pipe was rubbing on the bonnet, so this was scrapped and using some intake ducting I bought of eBay a year or so back, I came up with a design and found a way I can have a pipe coming from behind the grille direct to the filter box. This will soon again change as this "design" so to speak was revised 3 or 4 times before being final. 17th May 2016 - Again, changed the intake pipe, got rid of the Silicone bend as it really wasn't needed. 24th May 2016 - Took the car again to Motura to have the OEM Skoda Citigo Sport splitter and diffuser fitted as well as a gloss black OEM Volkswagen Up! spoiler.

I had originally planned to have it show spec and pristine. I've had a theme of "Black and Red". Then moved onto having an "old style" theme with the old classic wheels and amber side repeaters along with chrome grille. As of current, the future plan is and will be to have the car as powerful as I can make it without damaging the engine and do as many track days as possible. We'll see where it takes me from there.
