What were the down lighters like to fit? Downlighters easy I needed to trim the recess with a knife but they are plug and play but springs harder than I thought , lining the rear hub back up was awkward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the fronts would be the hardest , apart from my well used spring compressors giving up the ghost they were fairly straightforward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Oddly enough the book time on the front is higher than the rear..... Not sure how they worked that one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Might have a better way to get the hub to line back up to get the bolt in, took me two jacks and a lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liner33 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Its nothing as dramatic as that lets be honest here , they are like the Audi ones , but the main reason I fitted them was they are black rather than clear , also got a set for my Octavia as a kid driving too fast on a country road about three years ago clouted the mirror and cracked the lens and its started to let in water and turn green, its cheaper to buy a pair of these than one Skoda one !   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Couple of little jobs The car went for its BMW service and mot last week (Its on a service plan paid for by previous owner so only had to fork out for mot) , it had pollen filter, air filter, spark plugs and oil and filter (Wouldnt have liked to pay for that lot) The car had a factory fit phone kit , the type that clips your phone in , I was never going to use that as it wasnt for my phone and took up a lot of space in the centre console , so removed it all (First couple are library pics and not mine hence LHD)    Leaving this (First couple are library pics and not mine hence LHD) A little jiggery pokery with the wiring to fit an extra usb for my ipod , I made a little foam frame to hold it securely  Then made up a cover and trimmed it with black audio cloth  Voila , no cables and more space  Next up fitted a new set of number plates and detailed the paint  Light correction with PO85RD and Rupes Green pad Wiped down with Envy Filler Killer Polish again with TAC Total One and Rupes Yellow pad Applied two coats of TAC Moonlight       Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Wow...... It's a hard call to perfect perfection but boy have you got a keen eye..... I'm tempted to ask how much but in truth it doesn't matter because results supersede price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
