  2. Hi mate what did you go for in the end I've got a MK2 facelift Skoda Octavia estate and wondered the same thing I've seen splitters but reading forum the car uses amplified Aerial but then I see it has a rear quarter antenna so not sure if that's also amplified it's all above my pay grade lol
  3. Anyone ? Any help greatly appreciated
  4. Hi Phil I also have an estate and want to add dab to the car . So it's the side with the Aerial on is it rear pillar by the boot or the one by the rear door hope that makes sense!
  5. Evening guys sorry if this has been asked before etc ! My colombus nav stereo has died so have just purchased on eBay the Kenwood DNX525DAB what's the easiest way to get dab ? I've read here somewhere about the Alpine Kae ‐ DAB1G6 which goes behind the c pillar and replaces the current module (if that's the right name) with the new one . If so would that module be on the same side as the window antenna on the back quarter window ? Would I even need to buy that ? My car is a 12 plate MK2 Octavia vrs estate. Thanks in advance for any help!
  6. New shocks and springs on the back yes . And I know I need to get the front end sorted out next few weeks. I was asking if it looked high at the back for a Skoda vrs as they weren't Skoda parts fitted . KYB parts were put on and obviously the front still being lower doesn't help I agree . Handling wise it seems ok haven't ragged it about lol
  7. I'm the 2nd owner and got the car from a Skoda dealership . It's definitely been lowered and its only the rear I've changed atm . I'm seriously considering getting the eibach springs that lower it 20mm I know it's not alot but for me that would be a good compromise between the old springs and the new ones fitted on the rear . I'm no expert but I can't see the rears settling that much more hopefully someone can put me right
  8. Evening ! The fronts I haven't changed yet just wanted some opinions before I change the rear back to something lower! Not massively but just abit
  9. Afternoon all Quick question as I'm a bit confused ! My local garage has fitted some new shocks and springs to my Octavia MK2 vrs FL TDI estate . It was banging loads on any potholes and scraping speed bumps when I had people in the back ! So I asked him to fit stock type for vrs back on thinking the gap between top of the tyre and wheel arch wouldn't be too bad . When I got the car back it looks like its a 4x4 . The shocks he fitted where KYB ultra SR (354006) which when I search online seem to be compatible with the car but with the springs again KYB RH7021 I get different online spares companies tell me it's either compatible or not compatible ! I rang KYB tech support and he said that they are correct for my car so I'm really not sure ! For me the gap is huge unless I'm used to seeing lowered but in my mind I can't remember seeing a vrs with such a gap before ? Will attach a pic in a bit showing the gap any help or info greatly appreciated as I don't know much about these things lol
