Adam's MK1 Octavia vRS

[Adamweal]

So... as promised ive started on the new vRS so thought i best start the project thread before it all runs away with me..

so got this yesterday

was looking really dirty.. but underneath the dirt for a 9 year old car with 104000 on the clock i think i found a gem body work is really good except for a dent in the O/S/R wheel arch and a dent in the O/S/F door other than that it has been really well looked after with a full folder of receipts from the previous owner and full main dealer service history.

Its already had the wheels refurbed in anthracite, it has a green filter, Rear Parking sensors, Bluetooth that did not work, Upgraded stereo

so inbetween having a visit from Gee (Gee@W8performance) in his amazing octy making me want more stuff already i managed to give it a half decent clean and put some new number plates on

amazing how much better a car can look with just a new set of plates!

So today i decided to take the wires out that was coming out on top of the dash

and then get the bluetooth working

Whey!

Turns out the wires had just come disconnected at the stereo but was a pain trying to figure out what wire was what!

and then i went into the garage to get a tool and heard "no! What are you doing get out of his car!" i walk back outside to find this

Stupid dog!

as you can see in that picture above i did start to run my amp cable but then decided to change it to the other side so i finished off running them cables

and then i started with the LEDs

ive got to order some more 501 LEDs to replace the interior one thats broken and for sidelights

More to come pretty soon!

Stupid dog!

I wonder why the dog has a sanitary towel stuck to its back!!

[Adamweal]

Was wondering how long it would take for someone to say that! It had an operation on friday so its a dressing! Aha

I think i have an OCD when it comes to my cars they always have to be in really clean and good condition! But when i see the dog i was a little shocked and then just couldn't help but laugh! Lol

[Adamweal]

So got the windows tinted today.. Would have got some pictures but it was dark by this point so i couldn't although im sure everyone knows what they look like i will get some pictures up tomorrow

Got a cupra splitter today so will fit that at some point maybe tomorrow or later in the week, headlight tints will be here tomorrow so will get that done tomorrow if all goes to plan

Car is booked in for body work on wednesday so may leave the cupra splitter till after that but undecided lol

just realised you said this Lloyd, straight swap?

[Adamweal]

So have not really done much been working on the furby mainly and also because things did not arrive in the post, i hate waiting! :( haha

anyway here is a picture of the tints still in the dark because i forgot to get them in the light and please excuse the extreamly bad quality i was in a rush

[Dark_Hero]

Looks good Adam :-)

Should get a citigo badge and some carbon door handles like mines

[Adamweal]

Really like the citigo badge but dont like the fact it dont fit in the front grille without moding it :( i think colour coded handles look quite good too haha but like the look of your car there!

[Adamweal]

So.... its the waiting game car is now in the bodyshop but im still waiting for bits in the post plastidip, and key arrived today still waiting on headlight tint and bulbs :(

[sesachc]

i was going to do my own project thread but got carried away moding and not taking pics when i got my bits and fitted them, not bad for a tdi eh?

[Adamweal]

wow.. did not even realise it was a tdi! haha

[sesachc]

all the looks and none of the running costs, only thing vrs related i have left to do is the interior carpet everything else is done really

[Babs]

You're gonna make all your locals think that vRS's are really slow!

[sesachc]

Hardly, not the way i drive the car mate, i dont slow down for corners haha and sit about 90 on the motorway

[Adamweal]

Cars back...

Sub is fitted in

new coilpacks courtesy of skoda recall

and then fitted the splitter

Really happy with the look now!

still waiting on the headlight bulbs think they are at the post office depo so will pick them up tomorrow, headlight tint has not turned up still, plastidip is waiting for me to stop being lazy and take the grille off probably this weekend

oh and started doing my new key took the actual key blade to work to make it fit properly and then forgot to bring it home :( so here is what my key looks like at the moment :(
