Work in progress, but what do u all think, am i heading in the right direction ??????

Nice :thumbup:

I like your paint -- lighter colours don't normally go deep like that.

What are you using on it?

p.s. wheels are cracking too

Its not been washed for 2 weeks, but I gave it a good going over with turtle wax extreme, nowt extravagant.

I am pleased with the finish tho.

not feeling those wheels.

I'm not very keen on the wheels either, sorry.

I think next you should buy some vRS door rub strips and spray them silver and ideally also colour code the ones on the bumpers.

Personally, I thought they looked pretty good and went well with the silver and black on the car. There again, I've just been slagged off for liking the aftermarket 'devil eyes' headlamps mentioned in another thread so I may not be the best 'yardstick' of good taste.

Not a fan of the wheels at all, but each to their own.

i like

Well muckipup we must kind of think the same then cos I quite like the devil eyes as well . N I know the wheels are different but I dint fancy silver ones, I'm pleased with it so far.

Looks nice, what you got it lowered on ?

Its on the spax rsx coil overs. Still set at the highest settin only fitted yesterday so still playing with settings, but don't think I dare go much lower.

I like that idea, the black rub strips stand out a bit.

I don't normally go for black wheels but these aren't completely and don't look too bad. Badly needs a boot spoiler off a Sport or vRS though...

imo a well presented "normal" octavia. like the wheels (would probably look ace on mine) and i think a spoiler would ruin it. it's not a vrs, so why would you want it to look like one ?

Because it needs one imo.

Wheels look good on the car. vrs spoiler would look ok

thats the nice thing about opinions ... everyone is allowed one

i think sometimes less is more ..... if you want a vRS, then go buy one, if you want a well executed standard car, do something like this.

mind you ... if i owned this, i'd have privacy glass and maybe the rub strips sprayed silver.

I'd love those wheels for my Furby SE, not sure about them on the Octy :S

perchy .... i noticed the chrome tails on your exhaust ... did you chop off the turn downs at the end to fit these ?

btw - I vote no spoiler.

see.... a man with taste, and i'm loving the capt picard pics pmsl.

The exhaust is a custom build from the cat back with centre box replaced with a straight pipe, a very good build from exhaustsuk.

Privacy glass is on the list of things to do, but thinkin a re map might go on first, just wish my money tree would grow quicker.

heh ... i know what you mean pal i went the other way and got the map done first and now i have no spare cash to get nice wheels etc so mine is a bog standard classic with crap wheeltrims that just so happens to go like a scalded cat
