Folks, thanks for keeping thread running. The standard grill has been back on a week now and looks like it is here to stay. Milotec grill up for sale soon....

You could always go for the badgeless grill insert from SuperSkoda...

Octavia I 00-07 facelift - front grill badgeless insert in OEM style : Skoda Tuning = superskoda.com

and paint the outside Chrome to look like the original....

Nice car - don't like the upper grill though - it's too thick framed...

Those pillars are cool too... Wonder what they'd look like on a black car

id have to agree here,think the milotec grill is to obese,large thick frame just looks clumsy IMO,standard one looks a lot more in-place with the front end of the car:thumbup:

for me its not the debadge thing as I think the lines of the bonnet need the badge to finnish it off.

thats why I made my own mesh one.

due to the mesh being flat and the grill not I think thats why ppl have cut the badge off and filled it in with fiberglass. I wanted mine to look std so it is moulded round and I think looks ace, pics dont do it justice though as its hard to see the mesh.

I do agree though that the milotec one is not that nice on an everyday car. jus my thoughts lol

Billy, I like your grill actually. Although it looks quite see through as you can see the front panel through it. Maybe that is just on a set angle?

I could try an fit the Milotec mesh to my standard grill similar to how you have done yours, as the mesh will all look the same as my lower grills. Need a spare grill for that in case it goes wrong. Looks a lot of work to me though.
