I must point out if you do it, it still has screws holding it in place!

Brilliant update. Keep this thread alive.

Thanks mate, I'll do my best!

I dont have a part number as I bought it from a member on here. It's an armrest from a mark ii fabia

You can get mark II parts simply by calling ip Skoda though, no reg or chassis no. needed.

I'd strongly recommend this over the golf 4 setup a few members do. I had this previous and it never felt solid.

as a side note however, there's nothing to suggest that the golf 4 armrest can't be mounted in the same way.

Pastyboy badges have arrived. I went with smaller-than-the-usual retro design in green.

Time will tell what I think of them, initial impressions are that I should've perhaps gone with OEM design...

Also fitted my breather finally, which completes the catch can setup, Have waited a while for this to be delivered. Keen to give the engine bay a clean now!

What size pipe did you use for the catch can?

[TimVRS12]

22mm, you could get away with narrower though, maybe around 19mm?

The thing you have to look out for is that at the top end, 22mm fits nicely, but catch cans are usually a max of 15mm, so you normally have to add a reducer.

Ive fitted 18mm right angle connectors though (which dont come with the can) which can just about get away with using alongside 22mm piping.

If I was to do it again is go with 19mm piping.

Love your catch can set up Tim. Do you have a link to the hose and connectors etc?

[TimVRS12]

Thanks mate.

The hose is this stuff:

As mentioned mine is 22mm, but you could get away with 19mm.

You can get the bung on there also (25mm), but I found it cheaper on eBay.

The connectors are from Kenny (kenny130pd)

It's been a looong time since I've updated this. But in fairness I haven't really done anything with the car.

Done a few motorway miles this summer, and the front was looking a little chipped. So had the front bumper resprayed, and adjacent panels to blended. Had a couple of scratches on the rear bumper also, so had that done too.

I haven't really posted pics since the new wheels went on either, so here are some before it tipped it down.

Will prep the car for winter in October, good clean and a service. It'll probably be up for sale next year also, as I need something bigger for work! If anyone has a Octavia vRS estate TDi or A4 S line TDi they want to swap let me know
