Left in sport mode because I prefer the slight improvement in throttle response 👍

Rieger V2 front splitter fitted, nice and easy installation. I think it sets the front of the Octavia off nicely, a little bit more aggressive look but not too much in your face. Next up Maxton side skirts.

Evening all, i've been meaning to put a little blog together for a while... just getting round to it now. Picked up my 2016 vRS TDi up back in December after a change of job with an 80mile round trip commute each day left my little mk7 Fiesta ST drinking my salary in fuel. It was a great little car, absolute riot on twisty B-Roads, i'd got it up to stage 2 with Collins Performance, but sadly the long motorway commute just ruined the experience with it. This isn't my first 184 motor having had a mk7 GTD stage 1 with Revo three years ago which sadly lost its life to some idiot oncoming driver up north of Ullapool, Scotland, shame really as that was one great all rounder. I'd always had a soft spot for the mk3 pre-face lift plus the practicality makes a huge difference both on commute, for chucking the mountain bike in the back and getting up to the trails . First thing it definitely needed was the tyres sorting out, it had one PS4S on the front and then three completely different tyres on the other three corners. Previous owner clearly skimping out on traction before chopping it in to dealership... This made it feel disgusting on greasy roundabouts in December. So it was booked in straight away to have three other Michelin Pilotsport 4S's fitted. This is the second car I have had these tyres on and I can't stress enough how good they are! So like most of us who modify our cars the bug didn't take too long before I started making the change personally think makes the car that little bit better than standard. Work done so far: Tuning Box - Currently DTUK tuning box fitted although i'm not entirely satisfied with the delivery on any of the settings. Lowered with H&R 40mm springs 15/20mm H&R Spacers front to back On Collection: Lowered and spaced: Future Plans: Next steps I would like just improve on visual appearance and the handling: Looking at rear diffuser maybe the Reiger one as it is a little more subtle that the Maxton ones I've seen Maxton skirts I think really set the side profile off so these could also be on the card Maxton front splitter also being looked into, bit on the fence on this one still Rear anti-roll bar - although I am unsure what is the go to here, any advice would be great! Braided brake lines and possibly some higher performance discs and pads It may also end up at Revo...
