It didn't, was bog standard when I got it... Not even wheel trims

Picked this late summer. 2.0 DSG.

White wouldn't be my first choice for a car normally but that looks incredible.

I reckon the next Boards meet will be 15 white Skodas

Picked this up a few months ago and wanted to give it a proper wash and wax and get rid of the dealer plate surrounds before I put it up

Always wanted to drive one of these. What I could never understand is why they put the aerial midway over the drivers side of the car and not dead centre over the middle of the car, can't see any possible reason too?

They leave the middle free to put your CB aerial

Where was that and what were you in? It is the emergency number alright, its not a personal reg, just a random selection.

Can't remember where but remember the number plate and the Car. I'd say it might have been between Clonmel and Kilkenny, but I'm on the road everyday somewhere different. A6.

The first one didn't work out so well ... so got another one :eek:

My car is sick at the moment. Thought I may need to replace and another ST was sorely tempting...

Nice! Will you use the original one for parts or?

Silver one came first. Bought for peanuts - condition reflected price. Buddy (Ford trained master technician) went through it for me and came back with a list that would have been near 1300 to have it mechanically perfect. Would have been standing me over 2k then with poor bodywork and 200k on the clock. Suppose I could have just done the necessary and driven it through winter for less than 500 but I know myself I would have been constantly "sure I'll just do this ... and this ... and maybe this" and I would have eventually spent over the 1300 on it :pac:

So just bought the blue one instead in much better condition, viewed in better circumstances. And the silver is a spare should I need any bits (no, I've given no thought to what I'm going to do with it )

Hopefully won't need much out of it, but I'm tempted to take the chrome headlights and fit them to the blue one. Will swap parcel shelf alright as the mounts are damaged in the blue one. Might swap the boot carpets (black for grey).

Sorely tempted to take the twin exhaust off the silver one and put it on the blue. Probably be a ball-ache though and definitely require cutting bumper

Right now I'm not a huge fan of the black headlights (front seems too dark or something to me) but who knows. Silver one isn't standing me much so for now there's no pressure to offload it

James Bond Junior

The black ones look much nicer in the blue car though

Wondering did I see that blue st in tallaght or its twin during the week

Personal taste I suppose. I'm torn between them. Will be working for the next 5 nights straight so won't have the time to do anything with them any time soon. By the end of it I may not want to

Just have to get rid of the Donegal-spec plates tomorrow though - was already pulled by an unmarked car because of the yellow one on the back

Must have been a different one. We picked this one up in Roscommon on Tuesday and its been up and down to Cork each day since. :cool:

Best of luck with them/it, I had to let mine go as the injectors were on the way out. I should have just fixed them and driven on, regret not keeping it.

After my previous car died a tragic death in the gearbox and clutch department just 4 hours after passing the NCT, I got a new car

Ford Focus 1.5 TDCI Titanium. Drives like an absolute beauty.

Carstore indeed. Sound lads inside there and I'd recommend them to anyone.

I think that might be Henry Ford III's from here old ST.

There can't be that many red ST1's in the country.

I can almost see you from my house :pac:

John2009

Just home from there now and the bloody car was remapped already by the previous owner
I bought the car from a garage and they mentioned nothing either
The lads had a look at the map and were quite happy with it's parameters though did make a slight adjustment to lower the fuelling slighty

DPF gutted and mapped out
EGR disabled

They give it one run on the dyno to see how everything was and see what figure the car pushing out

I was quite surprised with the total figures and the lads were quite happy to leave it as it was as it was a smooth map with good bhp and torque delivery

Results below

almost 249 bhp??
Nice .
Was it Jarek did the mapping?

Jesus no way 249bhp, upon further looking at the dyno results it says the max power was 185km not sure wether that's meant to be 185kw but it can't be because the car is only a bloody 2.0TDI 140bhp standard

Decent gains from a 140 tbf.

So the far was originally 140 and now it's 249?
109bhp on it's stock clutch, brakes and box?
Seems way too much to me

It made roughly an extra 45bhp

I'd be taking it very handy tbh, using all that power all the time will probably end up causing you issues.
