Picked up at workshop color coded grill sorround for vRS, just need to wait for fitting on car

Also some goodies arrived for SuperB and wairing for fittment too...

Well after two years ive decided to trade it in after pricing a remap and clutch so sorry to say ill be leaving the skoda family guys :-(. Ill still hang around on here and maybe attend a meet or two for a catch up :-). Have to become a freedom member to sell my spare parts i have lying around. Anyways heres my new whip i pick up friday :-)

Dale I know a picture is meant to be worth a thousand words, but bearing in mind the thread title, the above means nothing, we can only assume you have sold it and bought the Seat?

The WHOLE bit!

 

only saw the post with the photo’s! 

Haha sorry it wouldnt post the pic of the car with the first post as i use my phone [emoji13]

Fitted ordered sunblinds into SuperB ,hatch (found on eBay). Delivered from UK brand new for price of 53 eur, and locslly at dealer price is 122eur

So THANK YOU UK!!

 

 

Were they a used set at that price or a new set?? Do you have a link to the auction or seller?? Cheapest i can find them on ebay is £50-60.

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Cheers

aahhhh They are the one's i had already found which are £50.... Would have thought they would have been more than 53 euro if they are £50 though....

 

 

Any chance you could take some pics from towards the rear of the car so as to see what it looks like with the side blinds in place but without a blind in the back window?

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Maybe I can try but my all windows are tinted also...so double protection (have reason why). Same as on a vRS also.

That price is best I could find, for new part. For a vRS I have paid 130 EUR locally at dealer (three years ago)

Looks horrible, doesn't it Ben? You look at that and wonder what the hell you have taken on. But so satisfying when everything back together, more satisfying when you realise there are no new rattles, and so much more satisfying when you find that you've cured that rattle you've been looking at for months!

Nice work.

Mike

Mike, I've done it a few times and also like to post a pic on Facebook as it looks horrific. Do hope I fixed the rattle, was thinking I'd need to try and find the post showing how to get to the can via the scuttle panel. Made sure I purchased some proper fabric tape they use for all the writing, brilliant stuff

Loaded it full of compost and shingle to do this

And another planter next weekend when it's built

Haha. It's worth it if you have the tools. Thankfully my Dad has the bits I don't.

Hope to have the full thing complete next weekend so I can paint it. I'll bore everyone in gen chat when it's done

 

Made a new thread for the decking here

Gave it a wash!! Took far too long according to SWMBO but I think it looks pretty good used most of the things I got in the Autoglym bag that came with the car and few more that I have bought separately!! :p

 

Painted the calipers (boring) black

Refitted the re-furbed wheels (black chrome) 

Washed it

 

Then it rained!

You've run out of things to tweak on it already then? :p :p

Not today, but yesterday, Bought it a bottle of G3 professional scratch remover and a sat nav.

Refilled the aircon, ready for a few days back home and my holiday in August.

Expect the temperature to drop now. :(

Took the vRS to Autohaus Dolby to get the seized rear nearside calliper replaced. And updated the maps on the Columbus in the Superb to v11.

Cheers

Treated her to an unexpected pair of Toyo CF2's for the fronts after one of the Goodyear Efficientgrips decided to fall apart on the way home from work.   

 

 

i drove mine today for the first time in 3 1/2 weeks had a knee op on clutch side so not too bad ( can rest it a bit ) so am happy

Gave it a engine bay little styling upgrade, on SuperB...

...and engine bay on a vRS..
