New Centre Caps.. And with the now black wheel caps...

Apparantly so, verified when i bought a touch up stick!

Mine have now been replaced FOC by Robert Eardly & Son (Newcastle Under Lyme).

Ok, been a bit busy over the last couple of weeks. I've purchased new numberplates and stuck them on rather than screwed (looks neater) with GB Logo but no border. I have two kids and my previous car (Mondeo) had the windows tinted as i hate sun blinds. I've now had the windows in the Octavia tinted (Dark Smoke) on the rear 3 windows. You may notice in the pictures an eBay special CAI. I still have the supplied air filter fitted to it so need to upgrade that to something a bit more reputable (Probably K&N). I also decided to complete the N249 bypass so this is now done (with Black silicone hose to look as factory as possible). The wheels were suffering quite severely with corrosion. Last week i suffered two flats (one tyre binned) because the bead was broken due to the flakey paint. I really wanted some BBS CH replicas but i decided to stick as close to original as possible. They've now been powdercoated in "Course Metallic Silver", basically silver with LOADS of metallic flakes. Whilst they were being done i gave the beige/cream wheel nut covers a few coats of gloss black. Need to replace the centre caps and have ordered some replacement ones (Alloy, not Gel). I've also fitted some "Ice White" Front Sidelights (basically blue when off, nice and white when lit). I could have had LED's but they are a bit too close to the headlight bulbs for my liking and i won't be fitting HID's so wanted them to match nicely. On the subject of LED's i have fitted some white LED's to my rear number plate lights and the interior light, freshens it up a bit and the seats looks lovely at night when lit up by them.

Had it a couple of months now Tried to be fancy.. just ended up with a big lump of gate post Two previous owners, 58k Miles, FSH. Body work is pretty much immaculate as is the interior. Was quite pleased when i went to see it and saw a Forge Intercooler on it. Got it home and also found a Forge 007P (Recirc Valve) and a couple of silicone hoses too. Not much in the way of plans. Would like a new exhaust and then a remap. Possibly new wheels (although may just refurb these, undecided yet) and some decent lowering springs/shocks.

Has the exhaust 100% sold?

Has the price on the exhaust been revised since the DP/Decat have gone? I can only see the same price?! Cheers

2nd dibs on the exhaust/cat if Bowders doesn't have it! Pics if possible? /edit - Pics of the TIP too? Cheers

Hi all, not long been registered after purchasing this... Tried to be fancy.. just ended up with a big lump of gate post Two previous owners, 58k Miles, FSH.

My car is now booked in to see if the coilpacks need to be replaced. How can i identify myself if they have the right number stamp on? Cheers
