So that's the starting point although I think I've put the wrong passenger wing pic up 😂 So gave the wings a wash and fitted them, more glue fun and games. And started stripping the door as it had come complete. So now I have a door shell I just need to get the taxi sticker off the outside😂😂 Also bought a 2016 interior off eBay having seen it's possible to fit this after reading someone's vrs upgrade. Swapped the airbag plug, was a bit concerned about the wiring but went for it. For those thinking about this I did brown to brown, black to white and blue to green. When battery reconnected and ignition on no warning light or accidental discharge of the airbag phew. And I bought a new steering wheel cover as the old wheel was a bit manky, this has also been fitted. It was a stitch on version Now the fun and games really begins. The rear seat base came as a single squab not the 60/40 split I have so I've stripped all the seat bases off and I will be modifying the seat base to fit. Watch this space. I also know the spigot the seat backs fit on are bigger on the mk 2 than the Mk3 trying to work out if filing the spigot or drilling the seat will be the best option, but for now here's where I'm at

Not sure if this should go here or in projects Ok so having decided on a Skoda Octavia 1.6 tdi and found one at a reasonable price, because it was damaged, I decided to sort the damaged parts out. I also decided I wanted a leather and alcantara interior. First pictures are before. Found the door and 2 wings at a place in chesterfield cheap but had to go an remove them myself, no biggie I've built a kit car and it gave me a chance to see how they came off. Why do Skoda use so much glue on the wings. Got them off and got them home.

I appreciate this is an old thread but I'm looking to swap my cloth interior for a half leather from a 2016 which I got cheap. Yes I know I need to swap the plugs but the wires are different colours, does anyone know which goes to which Mk 2 brown black yellow Mk 3 brown green white I'm presuming brown goes to brown but then what

Ok so after reading a few other threads and with a little ingenuity for testing the brake lights alone, it appears it's the high level brake light causing the issue. Using a piece of timber braced between seat and brake pedal I then went round the back an low and behold eye level brake light not working. Couple of taps on it saw it flick on and off. Going to try removing it to see if I can open it and resolder it tomorrow if not I'll be buying a replacement

I have a similar issue with a 2010 estate I have just purchased. The light didn't come on during the test drive however now I get a bulb failure light and the left indicator tell tale in the dash lights up dimly. Can anyone offer any ideas.

Ok so I bit the bullet and made an offer on the whole interior including doors cards. I suspect all the seat will or can be made to fit relatively easily bit any thoughts on the door cards please

I am in the process of buying a 2010 Skoda Octavia estate and the driver's seat has some damage. I have the opportunity to get a 2016 leather interior cheap. I know someone has fitted the mk 3vrs into the hatch I'm just wondering if it's the same with the estate
