Is it just me or does it look too similar to the new Kia Cee'd from the front?!?

Are the aerials an easy 'self-fit' item or are we talking dealer fit only?!?

Peugeot's answer to the Octavia Scout
Jono76 replied to 900000's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
We had the saloon version as a hire car recently in Spain - very nice car to look at and well-specced. Very comfortable and reasonable to drive, although forward visibility is impaired by a huge and poorly placed A-pillar. Definitely not a 'drivers car' but I could see the appeal and made a nice 'cruiser' for a fortnight However........during the 2nd week the in-built sat-nav and media system started to turn itself off when you were driving. Not very good if you're trying to follow the nav in the middle of Barcelona or using the parking sensors I'm sure Peugeot will tell you that their quality levels are improving - I'm yet to be convinced!! -
As I've got a lot going on at home and a holiday to pay for I've decided to have a clear out of my 'Boys Toys' :'( The following are listed on e-Bay:- Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S Clubsport Edition - inc Carbon Fibre Paddle Extensions SOLD!!!

Nothing we don't already know The complaining cabbie will also be breaking the law when he jumps a red light, speeds and uses his mobile phone when driving!! -

" How many Hours a Week do you Work "
Jono76 replied to Auric Goldfinger's topic in The Roadside Hotel
Oh my god no..................................................he's not my type I've only been with the company since May 2010 but in that time I've had a pay rise, a paid night out for my family and numerous other perks -

I'm a member of that club too - thankfully in my case although I am not paid for the hours I do extra I am rewarded in other ways -
" How many Hours a Week do you Work "
Jono76 replied to Auric Goldfinger's topic in The Roadside Hotel
My working week is Mon to Fri - 9am to 5pm, however:- 1) The latest I've got into the office this week was 8am 2) We don't get an official lunch break as the company buys our lunch and we tend to eat at our desks 3) I take work home and probably average 1 hour a night answering e-mails 4) We have offices in France, Germany, Spain, India, Middle East, Australia, USA all with their own working hours so my mobile can ring at ANY time 5) I still love it and get very well 'looked after' -

Currently the type of headlamp/bulb is not part of the MOT test - only that it is functional and correctly aligned Unfortunately, it would appear that there is an increasing possibility that it may become part of the MOT test in the future - however this has not been confirmed or any timescale put on this (as far as I know). At the end of the day 99% of us are aware and understand that aftermarket HID kits are not road-legal and take this in to consideration when deciding whether to fit them. There are plenty of people on here that would happily birch you to within an inch of your life for fitting an aftermarket HID kit - however these same people would probably quite happily break the speed limit -
ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did you have to post that pic again - I'd only just got it out of my mind from last time Now those horrible and expensive thoughts of wheel changes are back again - anyone fancy a set of genuine 19" BBS CH's??

DPF Removal and ecu upgrade with JDS
Jono76 replied to bertie1249's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I took my PD170 vRS to Shark for the DPF removal and re-map - excellent service and a completely different car once the work was completed Ben doesn't tend to quote Bhp figures, which in the case of 95% of tuners are misleading anyway, but I can definitely vouch for his map. The engine now revs like a petrol but with the diesel torque and the car now goes like stink!! Give Ben a call - you won't be disappointed -
As far as I'm aware there isn't an alternative?!? I'm sure yours looks great and you're obviously happy with it but I tend to follow the OEM+ route when modding my cars - therefore unless there's something that looks 'right' I won't bother, rather than look for the 'next best thing'!! At the end of the day I struggled getting on and off my drive with my Octy I with the splitter and she wasn't lowered - if I fitted the splitter to 'Ruth' she'd probably not even get close to the drive ever again
-
Yep - I believe Ben is getting rid of his beast to concentrate on his track weapon and he also needed a van. I would have had his Porsche brakes as well but bankruptcy and divorce would have been a foregone conclusion :'( Eric will be fitting the sidelights at the same time and hopefully 'activating' a few extra features
