Ive been looking for ideas for my Red VRS and I like the idea of the black grill and yellow fogs

No picture updates, but I fitted shortened drop links and now there's no rubbing at all from the ARB. Also replaced the tie-rod end on the drivers side due to a split boot and that's her sorted for the MOT on monday.

The drop links I ordered can be seen here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170831520629?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1978wt_1030

I have no affiliation to the seller but think this is a great buy for anyone with a car lowered beyond 30mm.

MOT passed yesterday 100%, very happy

Headed out with a friend last night and got a good few photos:

Cooler or hybrid fitted?

Looking good!

I take it you removed your under tray?

Haven't had the money together to go for the power upgrades, can't wait to finish Uni and have a bitta money to do these things! What about you? And yea no under tray.

Looks spot on mate, Is the rear skoda badge a stick on or clips?

Have the cooler fitted, good job, not sure whether to spend any more as not sure if I wanna change it or not towards the end of the year

This looks gorgeous! Spraying the front trims is next on my list aswell!

Yea I'm thinking the same,would love a MK5 GTI or a MK2 Leon FR but just not sure whether to change or not!

It's actually clipped in so if you wanted to remove you'd have to fill in the holes and respray that portion.

Thanks! Yea definitely spices up the front a bit.

Love it mate, looks classy

Just ticked over 71k miles so ordered timing belt kit, water pump and alternator belt off Eurocarparts. Used my Briskoda discount so got it all for £130.

This included £18 postage to Northern Ireland, which I'm not very happy with to be honest as there is a Eurocarparts store about 12 miles from where I live so I think postage should be free as it is with mainland UK.

That aside, I had a local guy fit it all for £80 which brings the total cost to £230 when you include the coolant replenishment. That's an awesome price for what I got and I'm well happy, as *hopefully* the only work I'll need to do on it now will be the yearly service.

Console bushes are knackered:

so getting replaced tomorrow with these ones: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400394566473

Nice pics mate. Thanks for sharing.

Update:

New cupholders!

Yellow fogs. My sidelights look uber blue in the photos, they're actually bright white LEDs.

That's a lovely motor mate, well done!

I've also just got myself a mk1 silver Fabia vRS after having to downgrade from a red mk2 (petrol) Octavia vRS. The first thing i'm upgrading is a new car radio and a K&N pannel filter to let her breath a bit better. Welcome to the club my friend

Thanks.

Update on changing the console bushes. One of the actual consoles themselves was knackered, it had been bolted to the chassis with an air gun and the threads were wrecked. So had to pay £100 for new console plus the £20 for new bushes - great.

Also replaced my driver side tie-rod end and both droplinks again - this is only 1 year and 12k after previously replacing them. Total cost £30.

So I need 4x new tires for MOT at the end of May then it'll be going up for sale! Gonna change to a MK2 Octavia VRS TFSI, so if anyone's interested and based in Northern Ireland then give me a shout.
