Great work so far - what a Project! This reminds me of one I saw for sale a few years back (Classified Ad. seems to have disappeared, however found a few old photos from when it was in use by Kent Police) - note the light bar! https://www.google.com/search?q=mk1+skoda+octavia+police+car+gn53+loa&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwi-lcbiirv8AhUvUaQEHTc-DwMQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=mk1+skoda+octavia+police+car+gn53+loa&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoECCMQJ1C5BFjgKGCLK2gAcAB4AIABQogBqgSSAQIxMJgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=bVi8Y_6qMa-ikdUPt_y8GA&bih=937&biw=1920&rlz=1C1GCEA_enGB931GB931&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=IiB_f5SJABLIxM

RE: Part no. for Rear coil spring bottom mount Hello, I need to replace both rear coil springs on my 2003 MK1 Octavia vRS Estate, and have already sourced the top rubber mounts, however am struggling to find the bottom mounts (even main dealer can get this for MK2 onwards, but not MK1). Many thanks in advance of replies

Stumbled across a comprehensive Library of "Press" photographs from the Official Skoda website: Skoda Storyboard Some of me faves from this below (from the RS and 4x4 selection):

Thanks - can't understand why Yellow would be so rare / un-popular (such a "distinguished" colour IMHO!!!) Great to see some others on here - great looking cars!

Here's the ballistic banana! Still going strong!

Hello peeps! Just changed the front tyres from the budget ones (which were on the car when I bought it), to a nice pair of Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 92Y XL (225/40/r18) http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Dunlop/SportMaxx-RT-2.htm Only £75 each all in from F1 Autocentres, and what a difference in all round performance!

Looks like a handy info from Lyminton and Nige8021, however if you don't fancy forking out for an exhaust pipe just to get the tip, good ol' eBay might yield something second-hand?

Not 100% certain, however I think that you can't buy this as a separate item (have to get it as part of the exhaust pipe?) Either that, or you get someone who's good at welding???

Thanks!

Ohh - sounds really "Secret Agent"-like!!! (is that for the anti-braking / proximity?)

Forgot to ask - anyone know what the clear plastic bit on the grille is for? (just below the badge)

Great video - many thanks for doing this - very informative!!!

I'd love to get one of these (just the lack of funds stopping me!!!)

Yes, that'll probably be a good idea (did search for previous existing Threads before posting, however yielded now't)
