as to the link, that grey vrs looks absolutely horrible imo, unlike the stereo install which looks absolute class. but still on a mk3...?

hello, cheers, very nice speakers, cost me £250 retail, and i threw in fast rings and wave diffusers, so got abit of a bargain, unlike the potential buyer of the coilovers he/she's listing, which are of questionable origin / quality!? the links you've sent are for a mk3? 2010 plate is a mk2...

hello, this is bizarre, had a pair of dreamline dl c6.2 components listed on an auction site for ages (decided against fitting rear component speakers, just rainbow el-w6 woofers and a low pass filters in the "s", it's an estate for the woofs/work, so a sub was out of the question), and they've just sold to someone in farnham (same guildford postal district) selling coilovers for an e46. i was selling the speakers to recoup money on the bilstein b14 coilovers going on next week. really weird, just sayin......

hello, no worries, you've done your homework. i don't have any issues with speed but mine's only a 1.6 tdi (sic), are you turning your car into the battlestar galalctica? yep, no crossover at all, good old vag fitted a bass blocker (cap) inline with the tweeter!, tried various caps to try to attenuate sound, but eventually saw sense, and having melted a few, went with aftermarkets.

hello, on head units - i started with a swing in my 2010 1.6 tdi "s", upgraded to a second hand bolero solely because it had a sd slot, i covet my cd collection so never used the cd, sound quality imo was better also have a 2012 blackline vrs, which came with the amundsen+, not much difference in sound quality between the bolero and the amundsen. tried an expensive blaupunkt (think the bolero is made by blaupunkt, maybe wrong) but was unimpressed on maps, very laggy software and sound was nothing to shout about. have you looked at android head units? again i'm only speaking from my experience have a look at xtrons (others available), i'm on my second, the first had slightly sketchy harness wiring (which i tried to modify. badly), however they have seriously improved in quality in this regard, and was completely plug and play. does maps. phone, equalisation, camera...all sorts of connectivity and the sound chip is good. however no volume knob! on speakers - even my 1.6 tdi "s" has component speakers in the front (none at all in the back doors). the woofer is not too bad, but admittedly in the wrong place, by your ar5e, and tweeter whilst in a semi sensible place by the door handle, is overblown. no crossover just a bass filter cap next to the tweeter. also sound deadening in the doors is abit remiss, i fitted some rainbow dreamline dl-c6,2 components in the "s", the beauty of these is that the tweeter fits in the stock location behind the grills, added some sound deadening behind the woofer. more than happy. on subwoofers - no idea soz play it loud sir

Hello! Once again an Octavia MkII owner
hello, as an addendum to my gripes, my octavia's headlights (our blackline vrs doesn't have xenon's either) leave alot to be desired, i've fitted aftermarket hid's, and they improve the dark weather driving experience immeasurably. have a good evening

Hello! Once again an Octavia MkII owner
hello, you've been busy! my 2nd hand 1.6 tdi s is a 5 speed manual of similarish mileage 130k, do about 450-500 miles a week and in the main she has been pretty much sound. here's my list of basil fawlty's air con pump never worked - expensive, but never used it and have since removed the air con completely fuel injector failed - but signed up for the ea189 engine fix (dieselgate) and was done free under warranty, now would be expensive. (yours could have had the ea189 fix done, might be in the log book?) egr cooler failed - expensive, as outside of ea189 engine fix warranty period. major gripes the 1.6 tdi is not blessed with the best brakes being fs-III's not the fn3 type, so any upgrades are expensive requiring a complete new front hub carrier and strut. my local skoda approved garage (service center (my ar5e!)) is effing useless (found a superb independent vag specialist), your experience however may differ. honestly, serviced annually and not used exclusively for short journeys, she should be good for many years yet, and then you can convert her to run on vegetable oil when the black stuff runs out! i don't plan on swapping mine anytime soon. all the best

25 mm Spacers on 19’ wheels
hello, each to their own on this one, correct offset wheels expensive, spacers cheap, loss of abs sensor pickup in the bearing due to bearing failure...… potentially fatal! your research free.....ho-hum just sayin..

hello, i agree to a point, increasing the wheel offset without changing the tyre width will act the same as a spacer. however putting a wheel on with the correct or model specific offset is not the same as adding 40mm to the track width by adding 20/25mm spacers. regards shear, that's why i run studs not bolts even on my piddly 5 and 3mm spacers. just sayin..
