LE 487

[TerryVRS]

Thought I should start a project thread. I've owned the Octy a week now and love it.

 

Pictures from the day I bought it.

 

Decided to wash it straight away lol

[TerryVRS]

First little modification.

 

Also fitted led plate lights. They're really bright. I will be fitting the rear plate correctly.

Nice one I'll be ordering those soon..

[TerryVRS]

I'll try and get a picture of them on in the dark when I go to work tomorrow. They're really bright. It'll be 2am when I leave the house so I may still be asleep and forget lol

[TerryVRS]

Remembered to grab a picture of the light output.

 

 

Changed the 12v output blank.

[TerryVRS]

Wind deflectors have just arrived. Hopefully fit them this evening if I can be bothered.

 

[Smoloney87]

Pay day today.. Was going to but these.. Just curious as how u find them.? Are the overly bright..?

[TerryVRS]

They do seem a little bright but not too bad.

 

Received VCDS this morning.

[TerryVRS]

Treated her to a new stereo. Was looking for a Columbus but seen this advertised on here and couldn't resist.

 

As I was passing Stoke I thought it would be rude to not drop in to Autobrite.

 

Today I had a few spare hours so gave her a good clean, First was snow foam. A good dowsing with Just the tonic to remove all the tar spots. Then a good claying and finished with some Cherry glaze.

Very nice it looks in very good condition for its age

[jmattley]

Nice car mate, good choice!

[TerryVRS]

Decided to treat the her to a new steering wheel.

 

[TerryVRS]

Been a while since an update.

Mk3 wheel is fitted, Multi function not working yet as I have only just ordered the control unit.

 

Today I finished painting the front grill and fitting new style badges, I'm just waiting on the VRS badge from Superskoda.

Looks good does that!!

How come it's got a mix of preface and facelift parts?

Is that cos it's a LE model?

I had myself an 09 plate vrs at the time these LE's were new. At that time they had the FL interior bits for climate control and radio bits and externally the had the larger door mirrors, otherwise no other exterior changes.

Looks a really nice example here!

[Paulbrown]

Oh really I never knew that so the inside bits changed but not out side

[TerryVRS]

Not updated in a while, Painted a spare grill and fitted later from badges as well as a front splitter.

 

 

Wheels seriously need to go lol

[Tomote]

Looking very nice.

You won't get that steering wheel to work whit the multifunction from a mk3 Octavia.

It needs to be buttons from a superb mk2 facelift!

They basically put £1500 of bits inside, full leather, Bolero etc and the LE wheels, which were chocolate fireguards and flat spotted within days. Skoda denied any issues with them - prob a big thread on here somewhere, I changed mine to Zeniths which were way way better.

Still miss her terribly.

Thanks for the info

Are they a direct swap?

I still love mine now. The wheels are high on the list for changing. I keep debating on a set of OZ Ultraleggera.
