You are doing it right! The big Skoda Octavia II picture thread!

[blueR36]

It does look nice especially with the green highlights, not sure of the praticalities though, we have had 10m visibility on Baildon moor every night for 2 weeks, and green fogs would be useless, and an estate that`s not able to carry stuff( no clearence in arches) is like a chocolate fire guard, looks good as a show car though

Could be air ride...

Nope, H&R coilovers. Nick posted it yesterday.

Agree with the comments about practicality, that'll be on the bumpstops if you put something in the boot or carry passengers..

I picked up my car on Friday night (11th) and have already got a long growing list of things I'd like to do........

First thing is I have a set of 18" RS4 Rims that were fitted on my Dad's 06 VRS from New but he's had them in his loft for 2 years now when he sold it so I'm taking them to get them refurbed.

Secondly i REALLY want to lower it, it sits very high at the moment so desperately needs it.

Thirdly I may be putting a performance exhaust, full system on the car with a sports cat but depends if I can convince the Wife.

Lastly cosmetic stuff I am thinking I may possibly go for:

Carbon VRS badges for the Grille, rear, wheels, steering wheel etc.

Light tint for all rear windows

Carbon wrap the pillars & possibly mirrors, roof bars and maybe front grill - can't decide on this.

Think that would see a huge improvement and leave it looking much nicer, plus I run a Detailing business as a weekend thing and think the car would look great if it stood out a tad from standard, plus being an estate it's ever so practical haha.

Mine, picked it up on Friday;

^ Looks like you live not far from me. I have an 09 LE estate.

[kerrbryan]

I think we're drifting again - I thought this thread was pics of modded cars, as opposed to "I've got a Mk2 Octavia", but I could be wrong

[Nick P]

Yup, oh well. LOL at the arch gaps on those though. They really aren't a nice looking car standard are they?

[nickg123]

Didn't realise it was a modded thread only!

It'll be a good reference point for me to come back to after a few bits have been done on mine though!

I can't stand how high the car sits, it looks like a 4x4 at the moment - I don't know if it's because the Estate is desinged to have stuff thrown in it but it is just way too high as standard!

You bullies.........

[Harry_vRS]

I agree the octy is fugly standard. With a few choice mods though it can look a lot better

Looks jacked up to me, perhaps the slope of the driveway not helping at the front. Don't understand why they don't come properly lowered from the factory.

[Baker21]

Perfect.....

Yes driveway slop... and one above looks a bit tooo low IMO.

Whats happened to your white winter wheels Stamaas ? you know you can get matching wheel nut caps in that colour, I have them

[Stamsaas]

The white 19s Are sold because they rubbed too much in front. They where 235/35-19. So I bougth 225/40-18 wintertires and got the Zeniths painted in Audi Daytona Gray with the grill Im afraid the nut caps will scratch the caint? :no:

I Think mine have a darker color?

And my question was going to be what colour are those?

the rims are painted in Audi Daytona grey, a gray that have quite much effect, and gets bright and shiny in sunlight, and very dark in night light

[magic62]

Love that colour

[Brimma]

Love that colour

You took the words out of my mouth

Probably THE best colour I've seen on a wheel, apart from gold maybe

How about the above colour with a Gold Fleck , that would be truly awesome
