I brought a multipack form a local car accessory place but got 5w - it think they look better tbh
Might have to look at a few different options.

Bulbs you need for the parking lights are W3W which are 3 Watt. Your cheap emergency set are probably 5 Watt.
Correct bulbs are readily available from motor factors as well as Amazon.
Cheers. I'm gonna keep the one I have in just now then replace the lot when I get a chance.

It's always easier in daylight
Have you got the new bulb in yet? I can't remember the wattage but the one I got was brighter (and looked better) so swapped the other 3 put for the brighter ones.
Yeah. Just grabbed a cheap emergency bulb set out of b&m. Gonna look into other bulbs at some point. Where did u get urs from?

Right folks. Feeling like a right plum. Went out and had a look at the rear cluster in the daylight and my god that was easy.
Oooops...
Thanks for the help though. Appreciate it.

Yes that what I meant - the top and bottom red bulbs are in the main holder, the 2 middle bulbs ( in the C) are in individual 501 style holders. They are a funny wattage from memory as when one of mine went the replacement I put in was brighter than the rest.
That's the ones I think. How did u remove the bulb? They don't seem to be that easily accessible.

If it's the one I think it is you just pull the holder out and pop the bulb out. It's just a push fit into the light cluster.
When you take the initial cover off and look inside it kind of looks like an old school Xmas tree light. Sorry I can't think of another way to describe it!
I'll get a picture tomorrow of mine if you still can't get it.
Just push where the wires connect to the bulb as there's 2 sets of wires going into the back of the cluster.

There's 4 lights that come on with your side lights. The middle 2 are in individual holders (a bit like the 501 bulbs) - is this what you mean'
The middle 2 r the indicator and reversing light. It's one of the bulbs on the curve of the 'C' if u know what I mean.
-
Gonna sound daft but it's not. Honestly. The top left bulb has gone in my passenger side cluster and that bulb doesn't come out with the 4 others. Anyone know how to replace the bulb?

Heads up guys. There's a meet in Glasgow on Saturday 9th June at IKEA... Come along.

A massive improvement from what I can see in the pics. Nice work.
Cheers mate. Really need to get my arse into gear and do the whole car.

Does anyone think this will ever look good being glued? I'm fighting for a replacement panel from the dealer...

I have had a go at the bonnet today. Went for the orange hex pad and madcow heavy cut. This is it yet to be refined....

few bits completed
front a rear mud guards up first - they state the rears don't fit the VRS with a bit of heat and a new hole drilled they do fit, slight gap underneath but filled it with a bit of clear sealant
Where did u get the mudflaps from? Needing some for mine as the sills on my vrs have taken a battering.

Didn't realise they mixed paint. Thought it was just wot they had in the shop. I'll have a look

Has anyone got any advice on where to get the best touch up paint?
I've got a 2010 octavia in black magic pearl 9910. Has a few stone chips I'd like to sort.

I'm just happy it will be done.

Yeah. Will hopefully be getting it all booked in tomorrow. Just glad it will be getting done.

Seems like the oil change hasn't been done.
but it will be done by them and they will cover the cost. So in a way it's good as I then won't have to do it for another 40,000 miles.
