Love the car and the colour....but then again I'm biased

Did you do anything about the mirrors fouling on the wind deflectors in the end? @Jonny5ive

 

I've noticed the same thing has happened on mine, apparently only on the passenger side though. Didn't realise until I saw a chunk of paint appears to be missing!

 

Cheers,

Steve

Yes I did. I took them off!!

 

(The wind deflectors not the mirrors )

 

Too much wind noise with them fitted I found.

[Wile7]

I have the same problem with the wind deflectors but did not modify them...the mirrors fold fine and just creak a bit as they hit the plastic on full fold.

 

Not noticed wind noise but tend to have windows or roof open much of the time....so already deafened 

[spk]

Hmmm...perhaps I need to check they’ve not moved in some way, at least on the passenger side...

 

Can’t say I’ve noticed wind noise being increased by having them just different. But that may also be related to what I think is quite a lot of noise from the tires that were on there when I bought it. That’s about to be sorted...

im Looking to replace all of the bulbs in my car, can you tell me what to purchase for ALL of the lights please?

If you find yourself near Narborough we could have a three Superb photo shoot with my Dad's 62 plate Mk2 estate 168bhp diesel DSG and my Soprtline Plus.

19x8.5j running 235/35/19 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo.

 

Tuesday = Moar Lower

[shyVRS245]

Looks better than the original multi-spoke Elegance 18" alloys IMHO. Thumbs up from me.

[Jonny5ive]

Isolating....

Chrome rub strips off, and now sporting 30 or so additional horses thanks to the team @UNIT18 Automotive with @p-torque.co.uk on the software. 😎

Yes, no Orange Wheels. Going for the 'Speedy trailer puller' look this time around

 

[Jonny5ive]

Oh, and a Maxton designs front splitter.

[mdk1]

That does look nice.

 

[JeSko]

Nice front splitter! Do you happen to have some more photo's for me? Considering this splitter too. 

 

Thnx! 

 

Beautiful Superb btw, i have the same, well almost, mine's 1.6TDI manual, but alsof Facelift, MoonWhite Station Elegance. Awesome car! 

[Jonny5ive]

....how time flies. The great white is off to tradeinsville today having served TeamThomas very well. 

 

A recent clutch replacement is the only major 'wear and tear' expense I've incurred and its just ticked over 96k miles. 👍🏻

 

Back on its original alloys and bearing its 2015(15) plate its off to EMG Kia in Cambridge if anyone is seeking a well looked after and reasonably rapid 😉 3T5. Any potential buyers are welcome to ask any questions.

 

I'll be picking up a 2011(61) 9 seat VW Transporter T5.1, and no it's not staying standard for long.....

[Jonny5ive]

That's all folks...

 

Here's the replacement bus.

 

I'm putting a few Superb 3T ancillaries in the for sale section, including K&N filter and a centre console armrest cubby tray if any current owners are interested.

That is actually a bus 😂, I’d love a t5 I think we all get a hankering as we get older. Enjoy it!
