Funny story about this first picture.

Some Skoda "fanatic" (*cough geek) had taken a picture of my car sat in the showroom, before I had even seen it sat there and bought it. Also before I knew her.....

And here it is now, after owning it for nearly 3 years, and having spent ££££ on modifications, repairs, new engines, turbo's etc.....

woah...do u drive through thick fog a lot? not seen a fixture like that before.!!! wicked man!

@ Gizmo, cheers for the tip. I genuinely didnt know that

No problem, I didn't want to come across as patronizing - just trying to be helpful.

Am I the only one who didn't take a photo of my car when I bought it?

Don't take this the wrong way but if you were in an accident, the drivers harness could easily end up breaking you back.

The passenger side is (almost) correct, they NEED to fix centrally between the holes in the headrest AND angeling down (up to 45°) to work correctly.

best bet would to be fit a nice burly rear strut brace and attach them to that? would also have a positive effect on the halndling, in a two for one type of deal

Not really no, the problem with (most) strut braces are they are adjustable = weak link, the other is it is only going to be as good as the mounting points of the brace.

When they are attached to the rear brace of a roll cage its different ball game altogether.

Shifty, don't forget harnesses are not road legal as you cant put them on / take them off with one hand (crazy law but true), so depending on the tester, will fail the MOT.

yeah, I meant a nice strong, solid strut brace with multiple solid fixing points (get your diagonals going) that's essentially going nowhere, rather than one of those adjustable ebay specials

I love those lights! Not for their looks, but for their awesome power. With those you drive in the daylight also at night:thumbup:

How powerful are they? 4x100W?

Thanks

4 x 130 watts I'm sure someone will point out the legalities, but i'm well aware of that. They do make progress down dark lanes much swifter though. Be safe - be seen kids

Are they from the Fabia rally car?

alright, alright, enough of the name calling!! lol! I was just testing my new camera and we happened to wander past woodheads and have a look!! haha!! It is rather an add coincidence though!!

Oh, and get that bloody seat heightened!!

This seems to have become my own personal thread. Maybe a mod could split it? or merge with my thread here http://briskoda.net/forums/styling-car-care/my-new-big-mouth-intercooler/104372/

They are a WRC item yes. The lamps are pukka PIAA ones

If anyone is interested in buying a pod like mine, I can get them at a reasonable price (without the lights)

Dave - how about a nighttime photo of those lights in action?

be uber-cool mate...

Only got these sorry Basil....
