Owned it a week now and loving my first Skoda!!

Matt black wrapped grill surround and fly eyed headlights, fogs and mirror indicators.

Osram cool blue bulbs fitted too now.

Happy with how the grill looks!!

Decals fitted on calipers

Next up windows tinted to tie in the black/grey look!!

Very nice looking car the black grill is way better looking than the chrome

Cheers Rob. Few more bits planned for her. Work commitments stopping me from getting the time though. Booking in for my tints tomorrow then be looking on refurbish and going black gloss on wheels also. These LE alloys are growing on me as never ever liked multispoke!! Think they'll look spot on when brand new again!

The tints will look good on the LE I'm on a fun of the LE alloys much rather have the 18" black Neptune alloys but they may look good gloss black

Exactly my thoughts on the neptunes to be fair. Lovely alloy. I'm going down the route of audi alloys too just waiting for the right set to come along for a bargain ha.

Booked in for next Monday on the tints so will get pics up.

Wheels wise ill wait nearer the time and see what available when im ready to tackle them

Looks good mate, some new Skoda badges would look spot on next to the black grill surround.

Agreed mate been to my local dealers and they wanted exact part numbers so gonna fly back down there soon as I get the chance and get them on

If you haven't got them already, these are part number you need for the hatchback

 

1ST 853 601A AUL - Front (CitiGo Front)
5J0 853 621 A AUL - Rear (New Fabia Rear)

I just bought them from the Skoda parts portal online.

Cheers pal. I decided to get the new vra style badge for back as portal you used only has front badge for grill.

Called my local skoda dealer and they want £22 each badge. I'll try my luck on ebay now as they alot cheaper.

Here's a pic of my rear end at the min with new badge.

Tints done now for some wind deflectors next few days!

Booked in at MIJ in Walsall Thursday for a rear section exhaust. Add a little grumble to the old girl. Keeping the OEM look though.

Anyone else used MIJ before?

Also waiting on contact back from longlife too with a quote as last min option, they're closer to me time wise!

What kind of system you going for? I've got a dpf delete and a dpf back exhaust and it's still pretty quiet :(

Keeping the cat as don't want to ruin mot even though I could get a pass on it really.

Chopping out middle and rear silencers on advice from longlife mate. He says it'll be a nice sporty note but not ear bashing.

Mine will still pass MOT as the actual DPF box is still there it's just hollow now

How did your note change once ya done it mate?

Dpf delete was done before I bought it. I already thought the standard system sounded quite throaty I put it down to the DPF delete.

It's a fair amount louder now with dpf back exhaust but still relatively quiet I think.

Well it is silent at the moment. I'll be happy with a grumble/throaty increase but not ear busting sounds to be fair. Will get a video up once I'm back tomorrow.

Will chopping silencers off give increase performance with a remap do you know or are we talking cat and manifold changes etc?

I noticed a difference in mine with the new exhaust! Revved a lot better for sure.

Excuse the sideways picture haven't a clue why it's that way!!

Sally is in for box delete and new tip. Hoping she sounds alot more sporty!

Well the jobs been done. Not what I'd hoped for to be fair. She is a little throatier but guy at long life said my dpf is holding back all the noise. Looks like I'll be gutting it soon too to get what I'm after!

Long life middle and rear box delete and nice shiny new tip on the rear.
