No picture but i’ve removed the ‘snow guard’ from the air box and replaced the filter whilst i was at it. Next job is to open up the passenger side of the air guide and buy the trim piece that helps direct more air towards the air box. I’ve heard it referred to as the P600 mod but i’m not sure if that’s right or not.

Cheers. 👍🏻 Not as far as i’m aware, it was purchased directly from DVLA.

Also gave the SE a clean and ceramic coating today…

My old Milltek downpipe/exhaust has now made its way onto the SE.

Alien Magic Car Care.

First time i’ve ever used ceramic coating…

Quick snow foam and wheel change…

This is what Skoda UK on Twitter told me when i enquired about Smartlink. I’m guessing i could actually have it actived then based on what i’ve read.

Will there be a National Meet in 2023??

Intriguing. Do you know whereabouts in Dudley?

I’ve no idea about that. So will VIP be expanding, moving or is he going into business himself??

No, it was VIP Autos in Gornal. It might be word of mouth if you’ve never used them.

Yeah, i’ve used them before for my old rear brakes and the Brembo’s i’ve got.

Refurbed 312’s and 256’s by BiggRed in Worcester.

They aren’t too badly priced unless you come across some on Faceache where they seem to think they’re worth nearly new prices. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I always knew Lofty was local to me and so was g3_automotive on Insta, i just never connected the dots. 😂 I followed on Insta after my local garage told me about someone doing a nuts and bolts restore on a Fabia vRS.

Only just realised i’ve been following you on Instagram for the last few months and never knew you were ‘Lofty’ off of here. 😆 Great build thread, love the attention to detail. 😎

Nice build thread and good progress with it. 😎

Another update from last year, added a boot lip spoiler.

Update from last year, set of Turini’s came up for sale with winter tyres on and i couldn’t turn it down.

***Drivers seat was sold and the rest got binned***

***These got skipped in the end***

Some Bilsteins and Eibachs found there way onto the car, along with a Jabbasport RARB and SEAT Sport front strut brace.

Wheels refurbed in a dark grey/anthracite and new wheel badges.

Some ‘dodgy’ wheel trims the ‘missus’ wanted as she didn’t like the look of the steel wheels.
