MK1 Octavia Estate TDI - Something different
The following night I put on a "it's okay ❤️" sticker along the bottom of my windscreen, sprayed my grille black along with added the black and chrome style badges for a cleaner look then decided to stand on my bonnet for a picture 😂 The it's okay sticker is all about supporting mental health

That evening when we got back we decided to wrap my headlights in yellow tint as the clear borders when on looked daft and wrap my indicators in orange film as I couldn't find any orange film, I also fitted one new indicator unit as they was odd (OCD moment)

The front bumper looked like it had been run through hell and back so decided to take a trip to Wales and pick up a vrs one. Was an interesting experience as when we got there it fit in the boot perfectly but my rear passengers weren't too happy about having a bumper wedged between them (they was warned before we set off). Me and my pal ended up changing the bumper over in a dominos car park before putting the old one into there big bin, which we of course asked to do. Finally she's starting to take shape and look different.

Always liked the yellow headlights that were ran by countries over in Europe so fancied the idea of yellow LED headlights, boy are they bright! Slowly getting through all the bulbs only things that aren't LED are rears lights and indicators.

The rear boot interior lights were brighter than the front which didn't make sense so I got matching LEDs for the front interior as it was starting to bug me, I've also done the door/puddle lights as well but haven't taken photos of them

I noticed that my one of number plate lights had blown and had a spare so swapped it out like for like before deciding to take the jump to putting LEDs in as well as one bulb was lighter than the other as you can see

One thing that bugs me was the rear interior boot lights. I used to have to rummage around with my phone light in one hand the other trying to get my kit out. Not anymore I've replaced them for ultra bright LEDs. Hard to get the difference in picture but it really is night and day (no pun intended)

Very same day (day after picking her up) I decided to tint my rear lights as well as take off the dealership stickers ready for tints in the future, before and after

Plan was to originally keep these car fairly standard as it's a daily driver and will (is) being used to travel around 100 miles a day Monday-Friday. I say that every time I buy a car but it never happens. First things first I had to change out the broken headunit for something that actually worked along with Bluetooth for those long journeys.

As you do, first thing I did when I got home was take a photo as the original one was from the listing, excuse the dark and dents which are getting sorted out shortly!

Not sure where to start with this but on the 13th November I managed to pick up this beauty in need of a lot of TLC. £500 full service history, 12 months MOT and 158k on the clock. I couldn't be happier!

Hello everyone!
I'd just like to say hello to the community. I am a first time Skoda owner and very impressed so far, it's a good project (so far) and will be posted my progress that I've made in my month of expensive ownership 👍
