Currently reading up on changing the grille out myself...any links welcome.

Headlights aside for the meantime (looks like I wait for replacement) I just recieved a lovely GLS package from superskoda *rubs hands together with christmas morning glee* - replacement passener side mirror indicator to fix the cracked one - 2 x smart holder hooks for hanging my laptop behind my seat between meetings - black new style ‘monte carlo’ rear badge - new badgeless front grille! ooooh baby

YO! Really hoping you update this thread once you recieve the package as am thinking about a head unit upgrade too for my non-sound-extra-system 2006 octa. Let us know how it goes Mr T

aha gotcha yeah - I was in a car club which had a stack of VW Golfs all over for errands it was cool but having your own car is a wonder of freedom

thanks - good time to recieve some warmth - I just sat down to do some overtime on a Sunday eek. Drive the firms?

Woops - did a double post, please will someone clever delete one of them...cannae see how to do it on me phone.

Ahoy thur! New Skoda new me! Haha. Sorry. Dad joke. I notice the little hat on my headlight that must have something to do with chucking the light around the reflector is loose and sitting in the front - kinda thinking it would be great to open it up and pop it back in but I looked around on the forum and see people cutting their headlights open with a soldering iron to paint the inside dark but hoping there is another way to solve this...any ideas? pic one light with bit loose on right Pic 2 - the little hat up close, doesnt look damaged pic three - the other side that is healthy so you can see what I mean if you dont get it already Light seems to look ok in dark but probs is lowering output so wanna sort it out...and loose bits are a no no.
