Crater+50mph = FUBAR Tyre and possibly a buckled rim.

Gutted mate, not good. Tyre is bad enough but damaged rim too is awful.

Dislike :(

Subscribed, interested in seeing what you do to this....

Gutted, but an ideal opportunity to now do something different with the wheels

Great minds....

All cosmetic tweeks for the time being.

 

OEM mudflaps. You've ALL seen a set of flaps before now I'm sure........  

 

 

They do what they say on the tin, albeit a pain in the posterior to fit.

 

LED's interior are Osram w5w equivalents fitted to all internal overhead cabin lighting, and red/white marker lights in bottom of door panels.

Boot lid: good God they're bright!

 

 

 

 

After attempting, failing and generally getting annoyed with trying to replace halogen bulbs with LED equivalent in the numberplate fixtures, I sourced some very reasonably priced OEM LED licence plate bulb units that are 'plug & play' (almost)

Halogen unit to the left:

 

Fitted and coded so no errors on the dash

 

 

 

Onto foglights - I've always had 'a bit of a thing' for yellow fogs and with previous cars tried a number of stick on films without any resounding success. Clive NZ100, a fellow Roomster owner recommended these which I used in my Roomster and now the Superb. Circa £13 from eBay

 

 

OEM look, but light output is yellow. Difficult to portray in pictures, but you get the idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Team Heko wind deflectors:

 

May be getting the Dremel treatment as they foul the folding mirrors slightly

 

 

 

 

 

Number plate surrounds from a very generous German dealership group Auto Thomas

 

As is standard with any used Skoda Superb the umbrella stashed in the N/S passenger door was missing and knowing it wasn't there irked me!

 

After checking with Mike (he's in the Briskoda parts thread) to find the item now obsolete from stock, I took to eBay and found an overpriced item from an Audi dealership in Germany. Circa €50 lighter this arrived two days later

 

 

 

Yes, I know, I was had. You'll note the above item is for the 3V Superb not the 3T 

 

The good news for you lovely folks missing their umbrellas is that this item fits the 3T, moreover it can be had for a little over half the price I paid in GBP - no need to thank me. 

 

 

 

To cheer myself up I spent a further £11 on one of these bad boys

 

 

You know you're getting old when you get excited by a bin for the door pocket..... pretty handy though given its nowt more than a clip on frame that holds a plastic bag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In quick succession the last 10 days have seen a de-badged tailgate

 

 

Some high level service action at UNIT18

 

 

A Brodit pro-clip fitted (awaiting postie with cradle)

 

 

......and lastly a costly trip to the tip lastweek whereon this happened and I swore. A lot.  

 

Picked up a fecking great stone chip in the windscreen on the way home Friday GRRRRRRRRR! 

Initial ownership not going too well - back light cluster and now a windscreen!

Feels like it is one thing after another at the moment for sure

Three things now. Wouldn't worry all done now!

I had some LED modules leftover from the boot lid install and was chuffed to find that the footwell lighting uses the same module, along with glovebox.

 

They took a little fettling to fit as being copies of the OEM unit the plastic housing is/was slightly fatter. Some furious filing later, they're in.

 

 

Additional units now ordered for the fronts and glovebox.

 

I sourced some pre-owned SuperSkoda sun shades from a fellow member and fitted these today also.

 

 

Pleased that they have a one piece rear shade as this was most annoying on the wife's Touran 

 

 

£150 cheaper than getting tints.

Those blinds look good 

Very nice indeed - Love this J5!

Hi Barrie, car looks really good, could not be more different from the Roomster. Bit OTT (for you) fitting mud flaps. Ha Ha.

Nice car Jonny what's next??! 

Have managed to spend some decent time giving the Great White a good spruce up this week. In truth, the first in depth clean in my ownership along with an inspection service @UNIT18

 

Wheels off gives an opportunity to say.....

 

"Potholes are bad Mmmmmmkay...."

 

The rim cracked when being straightened and required welding 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways @j0hn popped over in his fathers lovely #NotBrown combi, so we went for a drive and took a few pics.
