Hello

Well i thought it might be a good idea to start a project thread about my car.

It was a standard petrol VRS 10 months ago when i bought it, i am currnetly the 2nd owner from new.

My plans are to just improve on the things Skoda have done.

So far i have instaded LEDs where i can, Carbonspeed intake with K&N panel filter, Audi caps in engine bay and a few other little bits

Heres the pics

Should point out that its been washed polished and waxed today

Number plate surrounds and checky bum shot

Engine bay and carbonspeed intake

 

Extra sound deadening under bonnet

Inside shots now

Heres some fancy stuuf i took (not that great but trying to show the shine off)

Nice black and white shot

Very nice,black looks great when all polished up. 

Sure does mate

Just a FYI had a email today saying that my whiteline bar is on its way!!

Have my new mtec brakes front and backs to fit AND stainless hoses

ALSO when i return from my hoildays i will be ordered my Miltec

Happy times are coming!

Looks fantastic fella, and some nice spec with the HU, climate and maxidot (which I have none of!)

 

Will follow this thread with interest

 

Cheers

The dealer where I got this from said the chap who had it was a ex skids

Bloke and was a demo car with just about everything added well please really

Right so the list of parts/stuff needed doing is growing!!

So far it's

Front and rear discs and pads to be replaced with MTEC dotted and grooved discs mintex pads

Stainless brake lines

Forge turbo inlet hose

Finish the carbon hoses

Whiteline anti roll bar

Miltek cat back res system to fit

New pollen filter

Oil change

MOT

:-/ dreading the bill for all that but should be worth it when it's all done

Also hopefully ordering the rear defuser from superskoda this month too as it looks way to plain at the back

RIGHT

well i took delivery of my new white line ARB today so thats now in the pile!

AND just ordered my Miltec but now have to wait 4 weeks :(

Looking amazing! With regards to the extra sound deadening, have u just doubled up on the insulation material?

Cheers

How does the engine cope with the sound deadening?

Not really its a standard thing on the diesels and some other models plus it tidies up the underside of bonnet

Well I think it has helped the noise on tick over but it's not that loud any way

Also what about the extra heat it keeps in. Thought petrols worked best when cold?

Well just a small update....

Just come off the phone to Al at GTI and my miltec here!!!!!!!

Just ordered some R8 packs

SO

That means I can get car booked in now for everything fitting and sorting now

Which milltek did you go for res or non res?

The res one I didn't want it balls out noise :-/ I am a bit old for that now!!

I got the res one and its just right.

 

Slightly deeper on tickover, nice and quiet when normal driving and sporty sounding when you put your foot down.

 

Good choice

Cracking finish on the Black Magic paint  :sun: 

 

Nice upgrades there too!

 

Only comment on the project thread title - should it read 'Pre FL' instead of preface?
