So the proper offset would be?

Imho, they will look about right, without knowing the spec' of your current wheels I can't guess what the difference will be, but if you use an OE vRS Zenith as a bench mark, the Audi rims will extend out a further 16mm, I have 8J ET45 wheels on mine which extend 12mm beyond the Zeniths, I think the front is about perfect but the back could do with another 3-4mm. If you were to slam the car on coil overs then you may have an issue with the wheels fowling the arch, but at the ride height you are at now, tractor wheels wouldn't rub! :p

Hopefully the picture below will give you some idea - the car is -30mm from vRS OE ride height......

Agree - rear will be fine

Front will be tight - 8 inch et45 is just ok - 4mm extra will poke but should be ok

Thanks for all the info.

Now for the real question, how much more uncomfortable will it become

From what you're used to, the ride will be disgraceful......

One pic here also, more in the projekttread

The FL has grovn so much in to me that I started to prefer the FL, and when I had to Get a new frontend, it was the golden oppertunity to Get the FL

Looks great IMO. Any info on exactly what's needed to go from Pre-FL to FL?

Dainot did the other way ,

got the pic up now

Looks great IMO. Any info on exactly what's needed to go from Pre-FL to FL?

Don't do it Harry :no:

A Mk2 should remain a Mk2, anything else is an imposter

Looks great IMO. Any info on exactly what's needed to go from Pre-FL to FL?

Quite alot.. need to swap all from the doors and forwards. And some brackets etc.. Only the hood kan stay, but I have new hood also. The headlight dont fit directly and need to modify the bracket a bit. and the electric contacts dont fit the lamps, so need to make some adapters to get light.. quite a job but well worth it I think

I much prefer the FL to the Pre FL and would love to change mine but I have to draw the line somewhere

That Grill Looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the grill myself

Some more to put in here. I was in Wörthersee in to weeks an came home on monday. There Skoda have there own stand

They also had a free Tiestö consert

There was not so many Octavias in the streets, but some. The most was stock vRS, but this one I really liked!

It was on KW coilovers and had a nice poke

Very nice that white one.

White one sits nice, and the orange works. Fake rusty bonnet is gash though!

Sorry cant post picture other than link as I'm on the iPhone - can someone help?

Here you go I like your darkened splitter, you need a black grille to match though

Cheers fella

Time to confess... The splitter is a photoshop of what I plan doing

Can't make my mind up for dark grey or black

Grill - might darken it too with clear smoke - black is too much.... errrr black IMO

Forgot to add - the wheels are 18x8 et45 oz ultralegra and springs are eibach pros (estate specific ones direct from eibach opposed to Skoda)

Not very radical I'm afraid but still looks quite good.

Looks good. Are the mirrors photoshop too? BTW my matt black mirrors are just a set of unpainted items from the dealer (about 50 quid IIRC) so easy to swap back to the white ones when the car goes..

Oh if you have not done it then, do your mirrors in grey and your grille the same to match, it will look cool chic
