New wheels are on. Just need to wind it down a bit more and put the centre caps on.

So drove the VR down to Newcastle on Friday and back on the Sunday. Had the wife and soon in the car so was nice chilled drive but the ride was great. 3 hour drive with the car being lowered on the ST coilovers was great. Update with wheels. Should have some new wheels Wednesday if everything goes to plan. Also hoping to lower the rear more (might have to take out the rear adjusters) and also the front to get the stance sorted. Next on the list I think will be a new rear diffuser in gloss black then a front splitter.

Ok new question and set possibilities. 18" 8j et 35? will this be to close to the arch???

Got my ST coilovers fitted today. Over the moon with them. need to let them settle and then get the stance the way I want it. Not much left to lower on the back mind you.

The Old Maritime Museum Building, King's Inch Rd, Glasgow G51 4BN Renfrew, Renfrewshire is any one else going to this?

Cheers dude. Seen some audi Norwigan winter wheels a quite fancy.

Still waiting to get my coilovers on. Still looking for wheels. Done some photoshop, probs wouldn't be as low as this.

Thanks very much for this guys. Not it going to be getting the wheels now. Seen some other wheels mind you. So would a 7.5 wide rim with a offset of 40 work in a VRS?

So 70mph VRS and a pidgin going in opposite direction don't end well. Wing mirror cover still in one bit but the glass popped out and cracked. I had had to pop it back in to place to keep driving. Qestion is, where can I get a replacement bit of glass and how to get the old one out. 2013 VRS estate is what I have. Any help would be awesome.

Hi guys. I have found some wheels that I like the look of. Not to sure if the width and offset would work. Ive got a VRS estate with 18s as standard. Wheels that I am looking at Front. 18" x 8.5 et42 Rear. 18" x 9.5 et40 Tried having a look online but still not sure with it all. Any help would be awesome.

We bit of a update then. Plasti dipped the Skoda badge on the bonnet and both VRS badges. Will probs need to redo the VRS badges. Put on some gel risen number plates. (A like the look of them) And also got some ST coilovers from DMP performance. These should be going on next week I hope.

How does this sound?

Not the cleanest but still a photo. Should be getting some lows next week.

A will check it out! Dude did did you need any droplinks or anything else for dropping the VR? Got coilovers waiting to get fitted and just don't know if a need anything else. a had a wee mk7 polo on bags. Miss it so much.

Got any pics dude? Am thinking next year a would like to bag the VR but still need the use of the boot.

Dude as a said in Facebook it looks awesome!!!

So today I fitted some rear mud gruards and a black magic grill surround. Just need to get that front badge blacked out then decide what am doing about the VRS badges. Also so waiting on some coilovers to get a nice stance. Also on a wheel hunt.

Ok am looking in to what coilovers to get. For me it's more for the look of the car and not being able to go around a corner faster. Ive had AP coilovers on 2 cars in the past and couldn't fault them. Some places look to sell them for my car and others do not. Even the AP website doesn't have a listing for the model but other websites show them. Was also looking at ST coilovers (made by KW), has anyone used these at all? My car spec 63 plate Octavia VRS estate manual deisel a think this would would make them the 55mm strut size but not sure on load weight to the front and rear.

Yea a read this after posting about it. Sucks! Going to try my best at plasti dipping it this weekend. Lots of masking and take my time. If it doesn't work out a will buy the black surround.

So today I had some free time. Removed the Skoda and Octavia badges. Also found some old plasti dip and done the rear badge Matt black. Will most likely need to do again as the weather went ****. Still not not sure if a will keep the VRS badge on or if a will do the Matt black also. ohhh does anyone have a guide to remove the front grill???

Cheers guys. Its a diesel and also a manual. Got so much I want to do to it haha. Money doesn't grow on trees.

Hi there guys. I just picked up a VRS estate the other day and being by first Skoda am loving it. I have had other VAG cars but not of the same spec by any way. A will have loads of questions that I will be asking am sure. Looking to be doing some mods that other may and may not like. So here are some pics

Hi there. Just picked up a 63 plate Octivia VRS estate in sliver the other day. Loving it.
