heres a bunch of photos with the new camera, take these as before shots i guess before i get the new stuff on. As some of you might notice, yes i have a crack down the front bumper and a missing fog, due to a little incident 2 months(ish) ago, will be repaired shortly.

some interior shots

what made you change it? i dont listen to cds anyways, i just wanted a bluetooth unit that plays from iphone or from a usb stick that was alpine because the kenwood unit i have just now doesnt quite match alpine

Still got it in, though the parrot astrix looks decent if i was to change

is it a good unit mate? hopefully the bluetooth works well as my current cd player gets an error with the connection for bluetooth and you have to reset the full unit, hence the change as im fed up re-setting

Only ever have a problem when the ipod crashes, which is a wait for it to go flat and recharge it. no problems with the unit itself. You need the bluetooth module to actually have bluetooth, its not b/t without it though.

also meant to add, new genuine front bumper ordered from skoda and a new passengerside fog light.

Scott are those the VRS stickers off Ebay ?

Was thinking of getting some but was not sure if they would be the right size.

PS Car looking good now, sorted your Dash cluster out yet ?

yeh mate got it replaced with a genuine one off ebay. eh got the stickers off a member on here, was the only ones he had im sure.

bodyshop just called saying it will probably be wednesday before i get the car back, not ideal but nothing i can do about it, so ive had to move seat surgeons to the following week, the 24th. :(

Curse of the leather. Seems someone doesn't want either of us to get our seats trimmed!

What's it in the body shop for mate? Front bumper?

appears so, getting some bits sorted on the bodywork and a new front bumper being painted

Other 2 will be done tomorrow.

Ok so heres the scoop. Car should (touch wood) be back wednesday! buzzing! heres my list of toys so far to go on:

• 312 Brakes painted black with vRS stickers
  
• Milltek cat-back exhaust
  
• alpine media headunit
  
• polk audio speaks (not arrvied yet)
  
• 2x35mm and 2x 25mm FK (5x100 to 5x130) adapters
  
• The Porsche boxster twist alloys
  
• booked for seatsurgeons Leather retrim on the 24th
  
• new rear vrs badge
  
• new wheel nut caps
  
• couple of little bits
  
• poly bushes for front arb
  
• whiteline rarb
  
• cupra console bushes
  
• new mintex disks and pads for the 312mm brakes
  

That leaves me to paint the rear brakes to match the front. Maybe get window tints, and hopefully that will be me for a while. Sub will get re-wired in and it will get a good detailing when the sun decides to come back.

thats a lie, im also awaiting a company getting (aftermarket) xenon headlights back in, (they look like stock but with black inserts) so i will get them and d2s bulbs and connectors

That's a healthy list right there mate!!

Looking forward to seeing the updates

ok had an unfortunate phone call today, the bodyshop called me instead of another customer by mistake so i asked him if the car was going to be ready tomorrow as stated.....no. fumes were due to come out my ears. said it will likely be friday evening could even be saturday. im raging! i wish he had told me it could take 2 weeks before i gave him the keys rather than telling me time after time it isnt ready. i cant do much about it as its incomplete. it better not go beyond saturday! ideally tomorrow would have been ideall to get it back but hey ho another 2 days on top i will just have to suss it out.

Body shops are all the same mate (decent ones) because they do alot of contact work (car dealers with minor jobs) and the contract works always gets done first because its repeat custom.

Hi Scott

By the sound of things ur car is going to be a head turner can't wait to c the boxster alloys on it.

A+ for commitment

Regards Whoosh

cars home

How does it look?
