What is the offset required? I'll ping them a message to confirm the details before ordering

Anyone able to advise on suitability of this one? Not sure about the different tyre sizes Cheers https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F391464979053

So picked this up on the Friday before Christmas, covered about 800 miles so far, really pleased with the purchase No real plans for mods at the moment as still got 12 months of manufacturer warranty left... seat covers, hatchbag rubber mats will be the first things!

Sounds good you might need to remind me about it at some point right enough!

Absolutely no idea, if you cover the postage that would be fine tbh, or enough to buy a couple of the silicone key covers!

The choice seems to be estate low floor, estate raised floor or hatchback! I've emailed them to ask but they're not open until the second...

Yeah, looking to get one of the hatchbag thingies so there's three variations for Octavias!

Trying to find a suitable liner for my 2014 vrs but not sure which version would be the right one? The boot is standard as far as I know but don't want to order the wrong thing! Cheers

This thing?

Let me get a photo of it to make sure it's the right thing...

I've got one of those with the new car if you want it? Won't be used by me

You mean one of those wee bins for the door pocket?? I'm going to try and get rubber mats, rear seat covers, a boot liner etc!

So, whats the best site for picking up a few OEM bits and pieces?

I've looked around a fair bit recently, I like the look of it, but it's not really a deal breaker either way - although I've seen a few white ones with black bits/tinted windows etc which do look sharp!

Now, those key covers i can get on board with a bit more than the chrome!

I'm used to a big plastic Volvo key so anything will feel better than that!

That sounds good actually, hate driving on the paper plates!

Brilliant, thanks for that detailed reply, it's the petrol engine I've got, best option would obviously be the full alloy but I'd take a space saver as a get me home, the gunk has got to be the worst idea I've seen! I guess it's for people who have never had a flat... I'm going to put a full waterproof liner in the boot so no one would notice if it was lifted a bit, but I guess I'll probably go for a space saver if there's a suitable one that fits neatly.

Haha! I'm not a chrome person tbh, will be attempting to remove any shiny bits in future!

So I've not picked mine up yet but I know it's only got the can of gunk, so first addition is going to be a spare in the boot, is it possible to carry a full size wheel in the recess or will it only take a space saver? And is there somewhere recommended to buy the jack/brace kit? It's the vrs estate

got the deal done - pick it up on friday, prepare the forum for stupid questions!

The cheapest I've seen a new Octavia vrs petrol was about 23k so a bit more than a small loan away, would much prefer to put my money into owning something that's already taken a good hit off its value than taking on extra debt for a brand new one only for it to depreciate quicker than the loan!

That's pretty impressive, you must not drive around like a hooligan!

Why would you always buy from a dealer?

Sounds like a cracker! How much does the power increase kill the mpg?! Would love to do a remap but it'll be more than powerful enough for my better half!
