Recently bought this used, Has most options on it including the Panoramic sunroof and the heated windscreen. Originally i wanted the elegance spec and anything on top would be a bonus. 

 

Key Specs:

2013 Yeti Elegance

I used to have a Vauxhall Meriva B, Which was a nice comfortable drive and had a fair amount of space, however as I'm a photographer as well as other things i wanted something that i could rely on in the wintery conditions when i like to be out the most. But also fancied a change in the car and always had a sweet spot for the Yeti.

 

 

The Meriva had a fair amount of spec, but really wanted something with Xenons and heated seats. 

 

Really enjoying it so far, will be applying a few tasteful modifications to it in the coming months. I do like how there is a much more wider community of modifications and help than there was when i had the Meriva.

So Ive had some great few months with the yeti so far, Still thinking up a name for it too.

 

I bought a Carista and enabled a few functions inluding the speed in the display and having the Foglights as the welcome home lights instead of the xenons.

 

I bought some Sound deadening to add to various parts when i get round to them, Not much noticeable difference but a much nice sound when you shut the various doors like the bonnet and the boot lid. 

 

 

 

I made some custom looms for the Footwell lights, i Tapped into the interior lights loom and used some Footwell light panels from AutoBeam. Fitted to the front and rear, Dim with the interior lights too.

 

 

Fitted the Yeti Door lights from Superskoda too...

 

 

As well as other purchases from Superskoda i got some Chrome covers for the lower bumper as well as some Chrome mirror covers, Small upgrades but makes it look a lot better, and really liking the car even more than before

.

 

 

Led Sidelights with no errors too from Autobeam.

 

 

 

Not picture but I fitted the LED numberplate lights from the Facelift and got Robin Yau from Rocketwires to make some looms to connect to the existing loom. Just need to get them coded in now.

Custom Tuned 214BHP & 452NM
Performance Gains Of 46BHP & 96NM

 

All confirmed on the rolling road too. 

 

Pulls so much better and made it more flexible and the fuel economy is a lot better.
