Some do, most don't.

Thanks mate Unfortunately I've never seen any in black. Don't know if they ever came out in black. Get yourself a grey one and paint it satin black. No one will know.

Boys night out yesterday and I realized... I got a fat arse.

I don't speak Czech either so I browse and translate if necessary with google or chrome, find what I need and for the rest i.e. payment/shipping etc I contact them via email for an invoice.

My latest find is this place: www.spoilercentrum.cz situated close to the Skoda factory and Benet offices. If you cannot find what you are looking for email them with your request. Chances are they will find it for you and they are super quick. That's how I got the spoiler. Couldn't find it online, attached them pics, they got back to me with a price, wired the money, they shipped the item and it was here in almost a week by courier service.

Took advantage of the good weather this morning at some twisted roads.

I think I should stop digging around for parts... not good for my wallet. Being wanting a Benet diffusor for ages but never had the chance to find one at a reasonable price. Well here it is in all it's carbon fiber glory. The lightest piece of bodykit I've ever had the privilege to hold in my hands. Impressive... What troubles me now is if I should do a couple more exterior parts in carbon fiber to match it. Will also need to re-think my rear fog light mod.

The other day I realized that the Octavia Cup has sideskirts. They are not very obvious and even though I had seen many press shots of various Octavia Cup spec cars only recently did I notice them. (old age I guess :P ) They follow the lines of the car nicely and I will be painting them gloss black to match the Rieger diffuser. Still on the hunt for a front lip to complete the set, I've seen the Cup one, the Reiger and the Maxton one but none is what I'm really looking for. Will have to research more and make up my mind. Will get you pics soon as I put them on.

Thank you very much Ads230 appreciated you can start off with parts from the Octavia Cup

So nicely designed and machined.

No issues at all with clearance unless you want to get your car lower than mine in which case I wouldn't know still if you would run into any issues. At ET37 the wheels sit almost flush with the front fender, a bit further in at the back. At first I wanted ET42 but I was persuaded by the Ispiri rep that ET37 is best, and he wasn't wrong. Car seems wider more aggressive still you need to lower the car otherwise with stock coils will look odd. My 235/35/19 tires are not suitable for this wheel. They stretch a bit and will not protect the rim adequately. I'm going for 245/35/19. Soon as I get them on I will report on those too.

ISPIRI FFR1 19x8.5 ET37 - Carbon Graphite

Got the FFRs are on - what do you guys think? The AMGs even though they are nice and a classic design I feel lack the sportiness (best word I can find) that appeals to this car and also look small for the size they are. Also they didn't poke out enough so I was considering to go for spacers but I didn't fancy adding more complications and weight to the setup. Lastly AMG wheels are heavy as any other stock wheel. At 15Kg almost they cannot be considered performance wheels and I always favor balance between looks and performance. The FFRs on the other hand sit flush, they are 10Kg each and the glossy graphite shade is great too look at under the light. More pics.

They are! light output is ridiculous. Best price I could find was on ebay. Have a look there a few listings right now.

Thanx! No, no issues at all. As you will notice they have they're own resistors so you won't need to bother with VCDS coding etc.

And to make things worse eh I mean interesting another set is waiting patiently for when the time comes to make a change. More on that later.

Well the AMG wheels will not last long as it seems...

Here are some night shots highlighting the leds in the cabin, rubber mats, footrest, puddle lights, reversing lights, number plate lights and fog lights. Indicator leds have been installed too.

The wheels were given a matte varnish thus giving the impression that they might have a white edge when in reality it is a matte silver finish.

And here she is... for now

Eibach Bilstein B12 Kit Suspension (E95-15-021-08-22 45/35-40) Time to go low and give the car more performance. Booked the car in for a remap and car now produces 184>210hp and 37>45Nm. I could have chosen to go higher but had a talk with the programmer and decided not to in favor of consumption and other minor factors. Love the torque that these diesel engines produce, so much fun even at 5th and 6th gear. Very happy for now with the results.

AFFALTERBACH hub caps for the AMG wheels. The key was not well kept so I got myself a new shell and transferred everything over. Got a silicone cover to keep it nice and a key ring made of steel like the one I got for the Fabia.

So excited that the Yeti will hit the track again!

Is it true that if I remove the bumper the Adaptive Cruise Control "eye" needs to be re-calibrated by a Skoda dealership?
