JamieP86 Is your Vrs lowered in that picture?

never fitted the rear lip spoiler although its here staring me in the face. Ordered the s3 subframe, upper strut brace, lower brace, and waiting to find tt fwd coupe hubs. need new wishbones so ordering cast wishbones and will get it up on the lift and get it all sorted :clap: :clap:

Found them on ebay !!

That looks cracking. literally just went on the website to check there returns policy on my milotec boot lip spoiler. Couldnt seem to find those corner splitters tho?? not on the website anyway. Your car sits perfect :clap:

Pm'd

got a price of 20 quid for the lower brace off a breaking s3 on ebay mate. good luck with the sale

Its a 2002. Ill be uploading pictures later as I removed the lip that was on the black painted spoiler and also managed to remove the black paint without scratching the red paint under. I also removed the carbon roof sticker and resealed the gap between the front windshield and roof. In two minds now whether to put the milotec lip spoiler on as it looks good OEM with all the SHI*TE removed.

I meant to say can I run an amp through a pre out from the head unit to power a 4 Channel amp in the boot. Then bridge 2 channels to power the sub and use the remaining two for the speakers can this be done from one preout on the head unit?

At the moment I have a terrible sony cd single din head unit and the standard speakers. Im trying to achieve the quality of my mas F10 BMW 5 series standard sound system, maybe a bit louder but im happy with the sound quality. the sub could seem like overkill for my needs but since its wired up already from the previous owner why not??? I'm getting the Pioneer mvh-x580bs which I'm waiting to come into stock in Ireland next week (it has 3 pre outs not 2 like at the top of the thread). the mossfet amp 4x50watt 14watt rms two front speakers are in phase sxt1335 5.25" 230watt 40 rms which i plan on running from the power of the mossfet amp that is with the head unit. two rear speakers are in phase sxt1735 6.5" 260watt 40 rms still have to order the Amp and Sub. can I wire the 2 rear speakers directly to 2 of the amps channels (to achieve better sound quality) then bridge the other two channels to power the sub? will possibly be interested in some soundproofing also. any advice or help would be much appreciated

Does s3 wishbones got directly onto the Octavia vrs 1u ?? Mine have packed in and need replacing. Looking at getting the upper strut brace too. Thanks

how much for the brake lights?

nobody?????

Changed the wheels, sorted the trim and fitted the clear indicators with led bulbs. Waiting on the milotec lip spoiler from Germany and some Skoda centre caps for the alloys. Should look decent with the bumper repair, lip spoiler fitment and a full buff. will keep yous updated!! Saw a hybrid k04 turbo for sale but seems to be too much hassle after looking through the forum... Also theres some mk5 gti brake calipers for sale, would they be a upgrade on the standard vrs alloys or is it worth it?

Meant to say Can my Drivers side locks and/or whole electric mechanism be replace by the spare door and will it fix the fact the drivers side currently wont lock with the fob??****************

I forgot to ask about the central locking issue. There is an octavia available at the moment with a driver side door and full electric mechanisms inside. Can my passenger locks and/or whole electric mechanism fix the fact the car wont lock with the fob?? Thanks again

Im not savvy with electrics and all I know is what I read so It'd be great to get some answers and advice on my questions!! :clap: :clap: I was advised that unless your installing a major sound system upgrade, the re-wiring of new UPRATED speaker wires from a 4 channel amp directly to speakers is a massive pain. (obviously removing trim and fitting, soldering wires, refitting trim) etc.. My car is already wired up to the boot with preout cables, a power cable to battery, grounding wire and another cable I think that is a speakers cable in the boot. I was advised to put a pioneer head unit with the mosfet amp and power the front 2 speakers through the head unit. I want to know that if I install a multichannel amp in the boot ( wired with the existing uprated wiring mentioned above) then bridge 2 channels to power the subwoofer, CAN I then use the other two channels to power the rear speakers? CAN I then directly wire uprated wiring to the rear speakers FROM the amp in the boot? is this done with the remaining available 2 channels from the amp? Or is the rear of a head units preout strictly for a subwoofer and not able to be connected to a amp to power all 3? In the picture below it says pre outs for sub and other pre outs. does this mean I need to wire another RCA Left & Right cable to the boot into the amp to then wire the speakers directy into the 2 channels? Heres a picture below of the rear of the head unit with preouts Advisors (Icesecurity Dublin employee and another well known alarm and ICE system technician Dave Robinson) Thanks for any advice!!

Mate I wish I had a pic of it with the canards on it.. the cars look is wrong on so many levels Only 3 owners before me and the fella I bought it off only had it a month (picked up 6 penalty points in that month) The only logical explaination is one of the owners was a blind man/woman

Just seeing this now hello! mines in a bit of a state now but will be good to bring it along to a meet when its ready! Sound lads

So this is more or less how I bought the octy last week. MINUS the canards and some of the paint that I managed to peel off the trim. I've ordered the clear indicators which are coming Monday. The milotec boot lip, cupra splitter and the holes which where left from the damned canards, are getting fitted and repaired to the car on Saturday. Whilst the carbon style roof vinyl is getting removed tomorrow. Those advans are wrapped in toyo proxes. Anyone know how much they go for ballpark price?? in very good nick just minor scrapes on two of the rims

Got the idea of the lip spoiler from @TrevorB33 and his hybrid sleeper. I think it looks class. Is that the octavia 4x4 lip spoiler?? Heres another angle

New to the forum, Ive had a mk5 gti before this and it was a nightmare. Thankfully this occy is solid mechanically. aem intake, forge dumpvalve (debating whether to replace with the revisioned dv) turbo intake pipes, catback exhaust and a remap. Problem areas - driver side central locking, wishbones need replacing, it has BLACK side indicators, Red paint fade, carbon roof sticker vinyl, wrapped black spoiler and extra msport black style lip glued on top Just took the canards off that were screwed on with 6 screws on both sides of the bumper Also want to replace the wheels, there anthracite ADVANS and i DONT LIKE THEM... Looking at rs4 alloys but the fitment of them are 18" et35 8j 5x100 and from reading the forum Ive heard it can cause scrubbing at the back. 225/40/18 seems to be the tyre of choice for 18s but Im not sure about the whole 8j size. Car wont be lowered btw So first call of action is too unwrap the car, get rid of the holes in the bumper and buffing with paint correction!! Then stick on my cupra splitter. Its going in tomorrow for that. Was debating whether to remove the spoiler and put a msport style colour coded lip spoiler on the back. Only concern is I red driving at speeds of 120mph the car becomes unstable.. but I also was told by a mechanic it doesnt make a difference in these level cars. Hopefully can get some replies and help and I'll upload progress pics. Love the VRS so far

Hello everyone.. so have myself a clean RED octy vrs with a weathered red paint job. Had canards bolted on which i took off and a carbon roof sticker with platidip painted pink over the trim thats getting removed during the week. to make matters worse the spoiler is wrapped in matte black too. plan is too remove the spoiler and put a lip style, more subtle spoiler over the patch welds from the spoiler removal. all sprayed in octy red. hopefully can get some info/advice from everyone!
