[My_Yeti]

Hello all,

I see many familiar screen names already! Just joint to keep in touch.

Whilst you were not over at the other site, there was a random unprovoked attack on the handling of the Yeti comparing to the new Mini Convertible today - the topic was about the Mini Convertible on the general area and no one has ever mentioned Yeti, yet random Octavia owner started saying it would handle better than the Yeti....just because the topic was started by a Yeti owner....

Anyway, nice to be here!

Woops, forgotten to mention what I have.

A 10 reg 1.2 TSI S model in aqua blue with silver roof rail and wheel arch extension.

Interested in the wheelarch extensions.

How do they look?
What do you think of them?

Hiya, there you go: http://www.flickr.com/photos/591416.../[email protected]/5681161158/in/[email protected]/

I think they are great, make the car look chunkier - the main reason I had them fitted was because I had two dings one on each side of the arches behind the extension - and this hides it perfectly and also prefect future dings.

Hi My_Yeti!
I saw that picture (in another place) before I got my Yeti. Yesterday I drove mine in windy autumnal conditions and realised I need a grill like yours to stop filling up with leaves. The wheel arches I don't need; but I like!

There does seem to be a few chips on shoulders over there about the Yeti. Very sad. Pleased you've popped your head in.

My next Yeti is going to be a white one. I'm thinking those arch flares will look quite good with the contrast between the black plastic and white bodywork. And I am going to offroad it. so it'll keep more mess off the paint too.

Hi Bossfox My dealer has them fitted toa white170 demonstrator, and they do look good also has the side steps and chrome wing mirror covers.

How many years have you got to wait now

 

[BossFox]

Not too long.

We've been so impressed with our 1.2 DSG SE that it's going in part exchange for a 12 plate in March.
But we've had to order an Elegance to get the electric seat option as my wife and I are rather different in height.

But I was only allowed to change her Yeti if the new one was the same engine, gearbox and colour.

So I've treated myself to a white diesel 4x4 170 CR for work. Hopefully it won't be too far behind the red DSG, so we'll be a 2 Yeti family. (3 if you include my Mum's Greenline that arrived last week - bought because she was so impressed with my wife's !!!)

Crazy isn't it, you buy one and they multiply!!!

Wife insisted on black for my 1.2tsi and black again for the 110. I get to chose all the toys on it though

 

[BossFox]

Same here with the toys.

Hi My_Yeti!

Its not too difficult to fit the grille, there are two ways of doing it. I used mesh and cut to fit then cable tie it to the existing grille, or bahnstormer vrs (not sure if he's here) removed the silver bit and clap mesh into place.

Main reason why I fitted it is because there is excessive stone chip to the aircon heating matrix, apparently because the UK models doesn't have the plastic protector fitted....
