  1. Cahore, Co. Wexford today around lunchtime. I thought it was yours, that's why I posted. If it's not there is another person with impeccable taste in Skoda's knockin about.

    Tapatalk'd from my HTC SXE

    Ha ha, That's nuts... Not me I'm afraid.

    To make matters worse, a girl from work is after specing a mk3 exactly the same as mine... So much for being a little different.

    Thanks for the pic

  2. PEkoSI , Will make a video over the weekend. The signal are standard bulbs along with the fog light. The LED is only brake and tail light... 

    Folks - Really sorry for the delay here. Have a video that is on the other half's phone but it's 29MB in size so she couldn't gmail the file. I've tried to share with google docs and that didn't work.. Finally I'm going to get her to upload it to photobucket tomorrow. Any other suggestions? 

     

    Sorry again for the delay. BTW I Love them!

  3. Roof looks very smart  :thumbup:

     

    Out of interest, how hot are the police on window tints, those fronts look very dark, any potential issues with having to remove them if they're over a certain percent? 

     

    In Ireland the maximum allowed for the NCT ( UK MOT ) is 30 % . I got 35% on the front and 5% on rear. If I was doing it again I'd go 35% on front 25% rear. May look a little like a comercial

  4. After a very long waith I finally have my Octivia home.

     

    I've made one or two mods from when I collected the car. It's a 1.6 diesel elegance with a few extras. Coming from a 2011 2.0 Octivia I have to say the performace is emm average at best - speed is fine but torque is absent. Other than that I can't fault the car. Pictures below were taken in the rain so may not look so good. Thanks everyone on the site for the input, you've all being a great help when specing.

     

    Initally the front grill looked like this... ( bonnet open )

    Those are LED tail light strips for sure but you will have to make a video of other lights (turning them on/off) to show what they are. Standard lights will be dimming in/out (still quite fast) while LEDs will just turn on/off instantly...

  6. Have I mad one major error...

     

    My Octavia elegance in the garage which is now ready for collection. I asked the garage to drop it down to get the window tint carried out as I've had in my previous mark II Octivia. When I was there I started to talk to the guy that carries out the work - Before I knew it I had agreed to getting a black gloss roof along with the window tint

     

    The external spec is as follows - Elegance, Candy white, 18" Golus, Sports suspension, LED rear lights, No engine label.

     

    With the mix of Candy white / Black roof along with 18" Golus and tinted windows look OTT.

     

    What's the thoughts folks... It's not to late to change my mind on the roof.
