I'll be leaving here after not doing too much posting but doing alot of lurking thanks all for great posts and some great projects for inspiration. I sold my vrs with all intention of buying another but the desire for something a bit mad took over and got myself an i30n performance. Best of luck all with your motoring endeavours.

With sadness it's gone and unfortunately as previously thought i didn't end up getting another. Great car the octy and I couldn't fault it but I wanted something a bit mad so I took the plunge and got myself an i30n performance.

Now that you say it one of those once seen can't unsee things lol

Posted previous pics of this before (page 110 or something) added the Grill and discs since, it's for sale on Irish donedeal (upgrading to a 2017 one of these black again hopefully) Just said I'd post some pics before it goes for anyone idea hunting, I got all the bits from Superskoda, all easy to fit and minor jobs that do make a difference to the standard I think

First time logging in here for a while, didn't realise there had been replies my bad thought the tread had got lost and didn't realise was such an active forum, I have also been sidelined in a 3d printer build and a Yamaha Banshee build so times been tight, It's now for sale as I got myself a nice new job so upgrading to a BM....nah getting a 17 plate one of these cos hands down best car I've ever owned, few mods since last time main one being the front grill, which I love (Looks nice and mean). Hoping to get black again next time and follow a similar pattern. Also some added some drilled and grooved discs. There's a link to the add below (not sure if totally allowed here on this thread apologies mods if not) https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/skoda-octavia-vrs-low-mileage-2012-170bhp/16671355

Will get some better pics when I clean it up

Savage work man, great thread would get any petrol head thinking and dreaming about something like this, inspiring stuff. Looking forward to the rest.

Hi all, Got my first VAG car 2 weeks ago with this forum playing a big part in my purchasing decision and so far I love it. Have had a history of mainly Jap stuff and the odd BWM. Decided to open a tread here for some advice, suggestions, comments etc and just to show it off . It was completely standard when I got it aside from the black neptunes which I love (the first car I've owned where changing the wheels won't be top of the list). Added the splitter over the weekend and wrapped the eyebrows in carbon look but one blew off under "enthusiastic" driving today so I've just ordered another black set. I'm going to wrap the grille surround soon and add a rear diffuser. Other suggestions would be welcome and if anyone knows a decent place to get a map done in Ireland would be much appreciated. Some pics below and apologies I haven't gotten around to serious detailing yet. Looking forward to chatting with you all. James Also this car was an English import so wondering was it anybodies from here?

Hi all, New to the whole Skoda thing or VAG for that matter, just got my 2012 manual Diesel VRS in magic black a few weeks back, all standard apart from the neptunes are in black also. Not much planned for it to date just mean it up a bit, going to plasti dip the front chrome grille (maybe experiment with some glow in the dark there also ) smoke the lights and add a front splitter. Engine wise I may take it for a map in the new year and then other minor styling items. Car history to date in no particular order 1.4 Civic, 1.8 Vtec Accord, e36 316 coupe, e46 330d, Ford KA, Corolla, Yaris, Type R integra, Isuzu DMAX on 22 chrome rims , Thanks for all the great info here so far.
