In other news, ordered a new drivers seat base foam to cure the final issue I had with the car, in on Tuesday, so I'll be attempting it some time next week!

how much did you pay Babs if you dont mind me asking, as my drivers side one has sagged abit too,

£85, tried TPS (same price), tried other places (couldn't get it)... there's a very helpfull guide on here I intend to follow!

That is a lovely lovely car!! Jealous of the low miles!!

Thank you muchly!

Tried to find the best one for sale when I was looking and this was it

Yeah you dont seem to find many low milers

Mines has 65k and when i was looking it was the lowest i could find.

Im going to cherish mine and bring it upto show standard. (not with bling just keep it as clean as i can)

very nice mate. Red is deffo the best colour. wish mine was that clean.

Needs a damn good polish, caught it under street lights earlier!

Some more goodies... although much needed ones!

Had to pay some Child Benefit to someone:

...and got my seat foam from Skoda:

Hopefully will get this fitted on the weekend

lol @ child benefit!

Wow... it's been a while, but finally got the foam fitted! Not had a sit in yet as I've cleaned and conditioned the leather throughout but I'm never doing it again! My fingers are in agony :(

hi babs could you tell me how much the seat foam was please

!!

£85 from Skoda

will say it's a complete #@£$%&! to fit!

pics or it didnt happen!!

if its that bad to fit i might not bother then lol

Skoda quoted me £200 all in to fit it...

Well, got my car back from Simpsons yesterday after some more warranty paint work; the hatch was starting the rust just below the handle.

To my surprise they've painted the entire hatch! So as well as that rust being sorted, the scratches have gone, my spoiler is now non-chipped, red and lacquered, the rear wash pipe has been reconnected, and I have a new Skoda badge! Top marks for effort for Simpsons!

Since the badges were on less than 24 hours I decided to whip them off!

Fingers are hurting now, but it's all done

So, finally got me a new camera, some shots on my first day out with it last week:

noooooooooooo!! I would love this! mmm red!

Well, well, well... has it really been this long?

I guess life has just taken over. I've not really done much just put fuel in it and drive it! Oh, and paid some more child benefit. Crystal must have had another kid since last time as it's gone up...

Currently just ticked over 55,000 miles and is going very well. I'm hoping to spare some days this summer to give it a much-needed good polish. Just need to find the time!
