Thought I would start a Project thread as I've had my vRS a couple of months now. I've had lots of cars before now as you can see in my signature, but my vRS is my favourite so far

This is how I looked the day I bought it

 

Downsized the alloys from 18s to 17s, Kept with the Zenith style but wanted Black wheels and prefer less of a low profile tyre.

 

Fitted

 

Bought some new style Skoda logo centre caps to go with them aswell

 

Tonight I thought I would crack on with Blacking the headlights

 

All done and Taped up until the morning to allow the Sikaflex to dry

 

Looking forward to seeing how your lights look!

How long dud you cook the lights for? I've got a spare set for my mk1 that I'm doing this with.

Looks good mate!

I had my Fan oven on about 180˚c and had them in there for about 4 mins in the end I think.

Headlights all done

 

Before and After

 

 

Next job up is to colour code the grill

Colour Coded the Grill and Fitted a new style Skoda badge Last night

Given the car a wash today

Very smart that bottom picture! Inspired to do abit to mine, did you just rattle can the Zeniths?

Easy to split and put back together the headlights?

++ what paint did you use for grill? And what for the headlights?

Thanks I bought the Zeniths from eBay freshly powder coated

 

Headlights are not too bad to do, I've done quite a few sets on various different cars so I'm quite practised at it. In the oven for 5-10 mins then a lot of careful prying.

 

++ what paint did you use for grill? And what for the headlights?

I used paint and lacquer that come in a pack together from Skoda, means you get a dead on match.

For the headlights I used some matt black plasticote.

You get the paint from dealer or from a site mate?

From a dealer, they ordered it in for me as it wasn't in stock but I had to wait for the badges to come in anyway so didn't really matter

Ahhh Kk mate cheers
