Hi all,

since my car is about to turn 3 years old, thought id do a few mods to freshen up the looks.

after a year in the planning i finally got round to painting the chrome grille black to match the bodywork, removing the front badge and again replacing it with a colour coded version.

lower bonnet vents were replaced with the milotec versions to simplify the looks of the air intakes.

milotec rear deffuser was painted and fitted to the rear bumper too.

and finally, the car was swissol'd from top to bottom.

Let me know what you guys think.

Looking good kenny, can't seem to make out the rear diffuser though in the third piccie - a bit dark....

You got that car Jabba'd yet btw

Looking good. I do like the black grill and the milotec lower grills.

jabba next week mate

Good man. Can't wait.....

Your car looks really good, Kenny, and should be nicely run in by now for Jabba treatment. What's the mileage?

Smart, Kenny!

Kenny that looks in stunning condition for a 3 yr old car

cheers guys, Denis the mileage is 21k

I hope my Black Magic looks like that in two years' time... :thumbup:"

Wasn't all too charmed by Milotec's stuff but it looks good in black - especially the lower grille! I wouldn't have replaced the Skoda badge, though...

Mmm, shiny shiny.

Like the grille and bumper inserts - but can't see the diffuser :confused:

Oh, and is that a personal plate I see ?

How many mice does it take to fill a sand quarry with water? And how much Stella do you have to buy them in the process? :naughty:

PS car looks very shiny Kenny - mods all reasonably pleasing but have to agree with Mattijs - are you ashamed of your Skoda? Otherwise, why get rid of the badge? Can't quite understand why black paint is more fashionable than chrome but then again, I'm old .... perhaps I should be looking for a rubber bumpered MGB to replace my old fashioned (late lamented) chrome bumpered one...? :confused: :P

not sure on the badge either, personally think it would look better with the standard badge in place...

the rest is looking good though, cant see the rear diffuser either but i know what they look like...

the only reason i dont have the skoda badge on it is because the black one is a spare grill and had no badge, ive got the original chrome grille so i can put it back on if need be(selling it etc)

Swissol -

Black Grill -

Diffuser - (what I can see of it )

Debadged rear -

however....

Would prefer standard badge, and think the milotec lower grills look a little plain.. but that my opinion and it's not my car!

Nice!

Mmm' date=' shiny shiny.

Yes, but how many hours before it was back to Mud Grey Magic?

i think the black grille looks cool, just would be better with the OE badge... IMO of course... i REALLY like everything else.

btw... what did you pay for the swissol treatment ? if you dont mind me asking.

i did it myself using the wax wizared starter kit

i might still get a skoda badge, i just didnt want to touch my original grill and with the other on i got not having a badge i just thought id give it a try. looks better in the metal than the pics tho

i wonder what next, maybe a subaru bonnet vent??

Kenny,

Ya mota is lookin sweeeeetttt! I'll have to put some of my pics up when I can. I was recently using some Meguiars Quik Clay. Man that stuff is awesome. I thought I had a brand new car when I finished.....and it smells fantastic.

I highly recommend it...might try some of their polish.

PS Quik detailing clay gets all the road crap of your paintwork and the shine it leaves...... :smokin: :cheers: :woohoo:

Looks mint Kenny.!

I like it all. No problems withe the missing Skobadge on the front. Who'll see it anyway? All they'll get ta see is yer ass....

The front lower grilles might look better with a pair of driving lamps a la Fabia (The curvy ones)

cheers mate, a few folk have asked if someone has stolen my grille badge tho:D

looks cool did you just spray the original Skoda grill?
