[Gobsheene]

Well im now sold on Anthracite.

 

[Jordy]

[ferrett]

IVE TAKEN A NOTION FOR ALOT OF THINGS THESE BEING ONE .. LOVELY

 

[Gobsheene]

so I added a few bits for Dubshed,

some 19" BBS CH Reps
Blacked out the grill and lightly tinted the headlights

also added a set of 50mm H&R Springs a while back too, think it only dropped the car 35mm however.

 

[Steve]

Absolutely love that. These really do need 19s to fill those arches.

 

[G N K]

Excellent taste with the wheels , looks great. You didn't take advantage of the REVO sale?

 

[Gobsheene]

I'd loved to have taken advantage of the Revo sale but have my money tied up In other things at the moment!

 

[G N K]

Not cheap even with the sale lol, loving these octavias at the minute. Didn't like the facelift lights when they came out but have grown on me for sure.

 

[collyirwin11]

Looked great at the show, didn't realise it was yours because of the show plate. There is a similar example which I see regularly which has those wheels but in anthracite. Great example

 

[Lyons]

Very nice indeed Niall! I didn't see it at the show though .

 

[alan_c]

Looks the part Niall

 

[Gobsheene]

Thanks folks! Really enjoying it, at the moment.

Big thanks to Michael @ Polished Alloys and Alan @ CarSceneGfx for spraying the wheels ands making up the new centers!

 

[Crimson]

I could see myself going back to one of these in petrol at some stage, if the right one turns up.....
Im surprised I've never seen a limited edition one up on here TBH

 

[G N K]

Spotted you yesterday going past mine, looks great on the move

 

[Boydie]

Looks great laaaaaad

 

[neil#66]

always had a soft spot for this model, looks great lad, best colour in them IMO

 

[Gobsheene]

I'm contimplating selling it at the moment so if any one would like a look give me a shout

Fancy freeing up a little cash and getting something smaller again.

 

[Gobsheene]

Descided to hold onto the car for a while. Had a great wee day at Castlewellan on Saturday too

 

[ferrett]

megane 225 trophy cough lol

 

[veedubnoodle]

Car looked really well at the weekend @Gobsheene Glad you like the photo too!

 

[Gobsheene]

I toyed with the idea of selling buy I just cannot realistically afford anything else that I'd really like at the moment so i've just improved on what I have by added a few little touches to the car over the last few months.

The car suffered with the common lacquer peel on the spoiler so had that resprayed and the grill done along with it in gloss black. Also took the time to have the wheels refurbished in BMW Ferric Grey 2 to hide the imprint of every curb in Carrickfergus from the previous owner. All done by GMG in Nutts Corner, great lads!

I was given a little eBay carbon fiber aerial by a mate which I fitted, but the black anodizing turned red over winter so i wrapped it in matt black vinyl to take the bad look off it.
The same as this, but mine didnt say TRD

Jamesy @ Carnology, tinted the back three windows for me to protect my 4 month old from the 3 days of strong sunlight we get a year, as I abhor those stick on sun-blinds and wont have them near the car.

I added the facelift badges to the wheels and ordered some new wheel nut covers, unfortunately the locking wheel nut covers didn't fit

Due to have a demountable tow-bar fitted this incoming week so that we can use our new caravan, yes. I have become middle class as ****.

 

[Steve]

Wheel colour really suits it.

 

[Gobsheene]

Thanks @Steve, it's a hard colour to photograph, in some lights theres a bronze to it.

Really wasnt a kick in the ass off the photoshop I done earlier in the thread!
