Just found a couple more from last weekend at DC and Players

 

Nice one by Savage photography

 

 

Found this one on Slam Sanctuary's show review

 

 

Getting a decent clean tomorrow as its long over due one haha

[skodalad]

Went the dub fiction monthly meet the other night, quality was brilliant and a great little meet! I recommend anyone making the trip. considering it 10 mins from my house its great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well happy with the pictures! 

 

Side skirts tomorow!!!! Been waiting ages but the painted and going on TOMOROW!!

 

Plus the front bumper has sank again so its getting ripped apart and fiberglassed. 

[skodalad]

It's been a while since i updated this really, been quite busy!

 

So one of the main changes i have made is the r32 side skirts ill chuck a few pictures up to show what it entailed

 

 

To get a better finish i had all the door shuts blown in aswell so it blended better

 

 

The finished article

 

 

Subtle but I'm so happy with them!

 

 

and one from fitted uk which was an awesome first show!

 

 

Just got it back today actually, Had the front bumper redone, fiberglassed so it can't sink again and baked 3 times.

 

 

 

Also got a new double din head unit from m9yty! Brand new for a fraction of the price!

 

 

and the fitting kit

 

 

Ill get a few more pictures when its fitted

[Dark_Hero]

Looks awesome mate. We're the r32 side skirts a direct fit?

[skodalad]

Thanks man! Not at all. They have been cut down about 6 inches, had the end cut off and fiberglassed back on, then the angle of the curve made tighter, and then screwed in and loads of sealer. 5 tubes to be exact haha in all it took 22 hours to do the side skirts.

 

You can buy the polo ones which are smaller and apparently a direct fit, but the flick at the end is a lot smaller and more subtle 

[Dark_Hero]

Thanks mate. May have a look at the polo ones then

[skodalad]

If you don't want to die early from stress  i would suggest so haha

[skodalad]

Big changes coming, just sourcing parts atm, emailing companies, getting the storage sorted, and my WHEELS ARE FOR SALE!!

 

New wheels.

 

Boot build.

 

Engine bay getting some love.

 

Changes in the interior.

 

Performance maybe...

[Dark_Hero]

About time there was an update

The changes sound good. Look forward to some more pics

[Titanium_Man]

I try to avoid this thread as it makes me sad that my silver one doesn't look as well :(

Wasn't sure about the skirts but they've grown on me

[skodalad]

Ha it has been a while, i have bough another car as my winter, then messing with ideas.

 

More than likely going onto 18's.

 

More leather work, custom parts.

 

Some octavia parts aswell.

 

haha jars. You have to try something or you will never know, i would rather try and fail

[skodalad]

Currently in the process of ripping out the interior, ready for a few upgrades, going to find some material tomorow hopefully! 

 

Its looking sorry for itself, can't wait for things to come together

[skodalad]

Went up and started taking the fabia to bits tonight, Headlining, A,B and C pillar covers are off ready to be trimmed up!

 

Went and bought the material today, it is a tan/beige suede, lighter than my seats as i don't want it to feel dark and cramped in the cockpit lol 

 

[skodalad]

The fabia is looking a bit sorry for itself now its being stripped apart!

 

 

cleaning stuff in the dishwasher haha 

 

 

Taking pictures so i remember how things go back together after chroming.

 

 

Me being slightly organised ha

 

 

Cant wait until the plans come together

 

[skodalad]

Few more updates on the winter progress, I wanted my headlining done and after returning to my trimmer and getting quoted £500 for a headlining there was no chance haha

 

So I went and bought £20 worth of material and some industrial glue from work and gave it a go myself!

 

 

here is how it turned out, for my first attempt it came out okay!

 

 

here are the other parts that I trimmed aswell, happy with how they came out, on the picture i haven't tucket the material round the back on some of them 

 

 

I have also found my new wheels for next year, they are 18", 8j and et20 all round. Your welcome to have guess what they are, The were only made by 1 company in 1 year as an optional extra for 1 car. 1996 being the year.

 

love the look of 18's on this fabia, this with air would look sick  :clap: 

 

 

more to come!

[Alex529]

Looking forward to seeing it on the car! Thinking of doing the same kinda thing to my headlining but different colour, is the headlining glued onto the roof and how easily does it come off?

 

Cheers

[skodalad]

Me too man! Sounds good mate, what colour you thinking?? Just take the A,B and C pillars off, then all of the grab handles, and the sun visors (they have a fragile cover on them be careful) then the roof lining will just slide out.

[Alex529]

Probably just black, as mine isn't the vrs it's a cream colour atm, okay cheers for that

Deposit has been put down on the wheels! Collecting on the 28th, very exciting 

[skodalad]

Also started piecing together my new parts, New expansion tank, new bee sting ariel, new double din surround OEM one, new bonnet latches top and bottom then next month I am sending a huge amount of parts off for chroming. 

 

Then project wheels start, i know exactly how i want them to look so i will be splitting them straight away and sending bits off! Its all getting pretty serious

[skodalad]

Things beginning to move very quickly now! 

 

New wheels collected

 

 

 

and split down!

 

 

 

Another recent purchase for the interior of the fabia has been placed, should be here soon but going straight off to the trimmers for some TLC!

 

Activities with g23 are moving forward and will be getting done at the start of 2015 also will be contacting Only Charged Dubs for a fresh install 

for next season, can't wait!!

[connor-smith]
