Final Few for now

fell free to add comments.

give her a big mouth mate . but looks good so far. what are your next plans?

It looks very nice. The blue SE looks weird, either a lot of weight in the boot or lowered (or broken) springs at the rear. It could be just the camera angle.

nice pics mate

Well at the mo it's got a LCR splitter, tted headlights, new style badges, and a Stage 1 remap. Next up is a forge fmic, pd160 intake, lowered (dunno whether to go for coilovers or uprated springs and shocks) Black alloys(not sure of the style). I'm also painting the chrome grille surround black magic and getting the interior retrimmed in leather. There's a heap of other things but thats all the stuff happening in the near future. I'll keep posting pics as it progresses.

Forgot to post this earlier. I think it finishes off the footwell nicely.

is that the octy foot rest thing?

Nope it's for the Fabia. Got it off ebay for about 20 quid.

Looks good, think the front looks odd with the chrome grill and tinted headlights though? Maybe you should do the grill black aswell!

The foot rest for the clutch is nice, might go hunt for one now...

Looking good. Just brought one of the foot rest plates

Do you just bolt it on to the old foot rest thing?

yeah it comes with all the bolts, washers etc to do it. Just teake the footrest out, align the plate, drill the holes, bolt it up and stick it back in. Took me about 10 - 15 mins.

it says group buy if your from forum, anyone interested???

A really nice clean example of a fantastic car! Ive always liked black cars.

How did you remove the vrs front badge to put the octavia version on? Looks good...

Definately, try a feeler in group discussions...

I just prised the badge off with a wide pry bar. I put a cloth underneath it to prevent damage to the grille. They are just stuck on so it popped off pretty easily.

Used one of these

Just another quick question about fitting it, how do you take the footrest out of the car lol? car there hidden screws or something? i did have a quick look but it was dark and i could not see much lol

There's a plastic nut ( 10mm I think) at the top of the footrest. Once this is undone its just a case of pulling it out as there is a couple of clips there as well.

How do you go about giving the grille a "big mouth". I've seen it done on other cars and it looks good.

Looks like the footrest went down well!!! Lokks like I started a wee trend with that!! rofl

Anyway here's sum more pics

Feel free to comment, good or bad. ike earing your opinions guys!!

lower it !

Love it, im hopefully buying a black one on saturday, and i want the front end like that, but anthracite wheels and coilovers

good job mate

It is getting lowered but i'm trying to decide between coilies or uprated springs and dampers. I do alot of miles and i don't want the ride to be too harsh hence the hesitation.
