I think I may of located my rattle from the front, on closer inspection, underneath the taped to protect the adjustment threads, my front nearside coilover strut has been weeping a bit of oil. I suspect its fubar
now thing is they are only cheapy cheap ktec coilies so I don't want to be...
I trial fitted my liner from the phase 1, the under arch clips fit and it butts up to the arch/bumper at the side but doesn't really fit properly, I have just secured it in place with some self tappers and zip ties, it'll do for now
I have sourced a second hand set of liners now so will fit...
cheers chap,
I have since refitted the front bumper and arch liners. all I need to do now is re-seal the exhaust and the cars good to go on the road, so I will get some decent pics up with any luck :)

looking meticulously clean as ever chap, i would love to spend time making my car shiny, pretty much spend most of the time fitting new gearboxes to it however :)
dragged the bumper to couple of bodyshops, looking at couple of ton to get it sorted so its going to wait till next year, i dug out the touch up pen from the boot and just slapped some paint on it to cover the marks, it aint pretty but looks okay from a distance and better than the black platic...
Another little update
whipped the bumper off and found a few things, bit of rust on cross member where the bumper has rubbed. putting this down to the fact the bottom bumper brace to the subframe is missing so bumper can flap about a bit at high speed.
also ripped off the old skoda...
tried a search but too many hits :(
