Nice. Always prefered red, even to blue. Get them handles and chrome grille colour coded and youll be on your way

Looks mint! Especially for an 05' plate.

Welcome to the Corida red club

nice motor

Nice. Actually seeing one like this in perfect condition makes me consider turning my wheels and suspension back to standard even more than I already do!

Seen this one on detailing world. Who detailed it for you again?

Nice looking car. He did miss the exhaust though.

Nice example. Paint's come up well

Does need a bit of polish on the exhaust though, makes all the difference

What's the small sticker on the left of the boot?

Can someone please confirm if colour coded door handles were an option or standard from a certain year?

standard i believe..

They became standard, quite late on though. IIRC it's the MY07 cars, so stuff from a 56-plate onwards should have coded handles as std.

I though so because my 07 plate has them but my 4 year old daughter noticed they were black on older ones.

Cheers.

These pics above were taken before dave worked on it, will get the pics off him and post them up of what It looked like after he had done his work

Red is by far the best colour! Your car looks good, even before the detail

Fair play, looks decent as it is! So look forward to pics

Ok so as promosed, here are the pics of the car being transformed. Into a very clean and shiny car

Produts used;

Generic apc

Autosmart smart wheels

Megs Gold class shampoo

demon shine

bilt hamber soft clay

blackfire gloss enhancing polish

bilt hamber hydra wax

autoglym glass polish

IPA

chem guys stripper scent

Bromoco rubber dub

Nanolex glass sealant

autobrite berry blast tyre gel

autoglym tar and glue remover

so to start there isnt many before pictures as the car wasnt that dirty but there was a few scuffs and marks and the exhaust was looking very bad.

spoiler slightly faded and dull

car being covered in apc to try and break down the grime before washing

car being pressure washed off before the wash stage

the claying stage as expected took a lot of dirt of the car

looking better after a clay but still needs a good polish

getting the owner to apply some demon shine to aid with drying as there was no protection on the car at all

finally some finished pics and the car looking a whole lot better

remember that exhaust, the little bit of dirt showing is from the drive to the location for the pictures

ok so its been a while since i updated this thread and to be honest not much has happened due to spending all my money on the girlfriend rather then the VRS, anyway here the few little things i have done in the past month or so

first all i got rid of the standard Skoda CD player and replaced with an IPOD ready Pioneer Head Unit

then after noticing the calipers were looking abit sorry for themselves i decided to give them a freshen up, seeing as you all know what the green calipers look like i wont bore you with pics from all 4 corners, i will just show you the worst one

Before:

After:

brakes are looking good, now all you need to do is get some bigger wheels and drop it

bigger wheels are next on the agenda, its also going for a few touch ups in the bodyshop beginning of june, also front splitter will hopefully be going on sometime in june

Good colour match on the brakes, What paint did you use??

i used hammerite smooth green paint mate

Good choice on head unit too. Got one exactly the same.

What's the 'control: iPod' option do? Override the HU so the iPod can be used as normal? Mine lives in the glovebox and I control it via the HU controls directly so never seen what it does when it's in use.

Cars looking good though - red IS the best colour too.
