Thought this deserved it’s own journal even when it was only bought as a ‘work shed’ 

 

I part ex’d my MKII Superb Elegance Combi (bought brand new but during the last 12 months it was sitting at work all week gathering dust and not getting the use it deserved) for this 2006 Superb Edition 100 (a ltd edition to celebrate Skoda’s 100th year of car production, think of an Elegance spec car with more toys thrown at it!)

 

I have previously owned a 2004 Deep Sea Blue MKI Superb Comfort with the same AWX (PD130) engine and manual box:

 

 

 

Anyway back onto the Ed 100

Before I got the car:

 

 

 

The day of ownership of an Edition 100 arrived,

Next to the Combi:

 

Combi being driven of by it’s new owner:

 

   

 

The car was in pretty good condition for an 8 year old with nearly 74K miles, there were a few areas that I wanted to address though:

 

 

Change the interior lights / sidelights etc for LED’s:

 

 

 

 

All of the badges were showing a fair bit of white worm and the green was also fading:

 

 

New wheel badges / bolt covers fitted:

 

 

The wheels whilst in fair condition were not as nice as I like them, but as it’s just a work car they were good enough!

 

The leather just wanted a good clean (Dr.Leather cleaner) to be expected from light coloured leather.

 

The front o/s calliper was juddering slightly - previous owner thought it may be sticking slightly, so I decided to replace the full set of discs and pads... this cured the vibration.

 

The paintwork was generally very good, but I intended to give it a light detail to remove the swirl marks ... just because thats what I do to my cars    :

 

 

 

The Edition 100 came with a sat nav as std, but I have never really liked the small screen sat nave so it ‘had’ to go   :

 

 

 

To be replaced with a Pioneer app radio:

 

Nice work Martin

 

Some nice alloys would set it off a treat

I ‘had to’ fit my winter wheels for a week: 

 

 

Because despite me saying they were good enough, I wanted better    :

 

 

 

Refurbished by Lepson’s in their ‘Black Chrome”

 

 

 

Next up was something I hated on my previous MKI... crap instrument lighting, so a PM to Charlie saw him do his stuff on them:

 

 

Much better 

 

 

Then I had an itch I needed to scratch, something I intended doing on my Combi if I had kept her... Bilstein B12 kit:

 

 

The Bilstein’s have totally transformed the car from its worn OE Koni’s ... it also looks better as well

 

 

Next up was the reversing lights, before:

 

 

 

After (CREE LED’s):

 

 

Oh and I also did the rear numberplate lights as well!

 

 

So for a ‘cheap and nasty’ work car I have got a little carried away, but thats all I’m going to do... honest    

 

Watch this space 

 

I did consider new wheels, but decided I wanted to keep it as OE Edition 100 looking as possible, the new colour is subtle... but bloody nice as well.

Somehow mate, I don't believe you will be able to stop yourself from doing further mods

 

I once bought a Zafira, to cure me of my modding addiction.

 

My missus was so pleased I had finally seen the light.

 

2 weeks later, it had a full bodykit, power flow duplex exhaust and big alloys!

 

You can't fight the modding gene, resistance is futile

 

So for a ‘cheap and nasty’ work car 

 

Oh and If Ray is reading this... the car is anything but ‘cheap and nasty’ 

Looking very nice, and I'm sure a few more "little" touches will find they way on

Very nice

Just been going through the pictures of my old ED100.  You've done a good job and it looks the business.

 

I'm missing the old girl but hope to look at the suspension on the combi soon so may have to pick your brains for advice.

 

ps The Combi tows a treat and I sometimes have to rein myself in when towing bot solo it pulls like a train.

Cheers Ray 

 

I would certainly recommend the B12 kit

How to change lights on dials? Tnx for answer

PM Dark_Hero

Ring Xenon Max (H3) main beam bulbs fitted and adjusted (they were very low)

Fizzmo LED numberplate bulbs fitted as I got through two sets in as many weeks (failed after approx 10 miles!) 

Hi,

 

Can you tell me what LED lights you used and where you got them from? I need to change my sidelights and others. 

 

Thanks

Couple of minor cosmetic changes done to her bum:

 

 

The best LED’s I have found so far are from someone on Facebook (Kevin Larkin) they are not cheap at £6.50 each (+VAT and delivery) BUT they are pretty impressive.

Another subtle OEM+ mod:

 

So subtle, took 5 mins to see it!

Looks good.

Sneaky!

Quantum Tuning map removed (it made the car quite peaky and IMO ruined the drive).

 

Full service to be done today when the temperature drops a little outside (also replacing the gearbox oil whilst the car is in the air)
