Hello everyone. A super-nooby here! I seem to have caught the rear bug known as: Skodaitis
I really fancy picking up a 1.9 TDI variant for the Mk1 Fabby Estate, and ditching the PCP'd Hyundai I have at the moment, but you naughty devils have turned my head with all the modding you have done on the titchy estate, so I need some pointers.
Very sorry if these questions have been asked before (Might help someone else, if they're all in one place.......) I'm sure I've forgot a few - I'll add the others when the penny drops!
- What 'static' lowering kit (shox and springs) would you all suggest for everyday use? (I do a LOT of town driving and have a baby on the way!)
- Are there any decent uprated brake kits available for the 1.9 estate? (My friend got four grooved and drilled rotors and Mintex pads for his MX5 for £135 off ebay - is there anything similar around?)
- How hard is it to colour code the front grill on a Mk1?
- How hard is it to colour code interior trim? (Such as heater vents and radio surround etc)
- What sizes are the Skoda badges (front and back) on the Mk1? (As I'd like to install the newer version on the Skoda logo.....)
- Is it hard to fit a double DIN headunit in a Mk1?
- Can anyone suggest some good wind deflectors for the estate?
- I'd like some number plate surrounds, as I want a set of pressed metal ones - I've bought these before (for my Mk2 Golf) and they were poor quality........
- Where can I find some custom-fitted 'logo'd' floor mats for a good price?
- Is it hard/costly to paint/wrap the roof in gloss black (a'la the newer Skodas......)
- What other mods would you suggest?
Where's the best place to go for insurance for a modded estate? (I'll need business use, as well - one saving grace, I'm 38 next month!)
Many, many thanks in advance
