My first Skoda

Featured Replies

Hello!

About a month i was searching a new car, i didnt want to hurry up with it, so i ended up to testing differend kind of producers like audi, bmw etc..

And the last call was Skoda.. and have to say, i cant be more happy right now! :) Drived with this thing a week now, and im still getting this smile to my face.. already planned to do all kind of modification inside to outside..

And my model is: Octavia -98 SLX 1,8 20V (if i remember this right :D )

Couple of photos. New mirrors and front grill already coming.

Here again..

Some updates: Changed front grill/mask, tinted and still tinting the back windows, removed octavia text from the back and covered some interior stuffs with carbon fibre wrap ;)

I tried to change mirrors too, but well, adapters s*****.. i was having the "right" adapters for octavia. But no, it wanst working at all.

Some images about those mirrors :S Mirrors pointing to the skies.. cant see anything.

front grill dont look right imo.

To be honest, it looked really strange for the first time..just needed to get used to it. There wasnt nice grills at all for this model. Really hard to find.. i decided to buy this one becouse there just wasnt any other options (black masks). I was thinking to paint that outest list/trim to same colour as a car. And i was thinking, what colour my car is? :S is it Dynamic Blue Metallic? plz someone give me the right colour :)

Just a thought, but can you swap the mirrors over from one side to the other and leave the adapters where they are?

LH mirror on RH adapter etc.

Would that work?

The sticker with your pain code should be stuck in the boot next to the spair wheel.

Well thats were my one is.

Some new pictures :)

I was thinking to paint the front lights and front indicators to black from inside. And remove the current black paint from the indicators.. the paint is in the surface now.

Also changing rear skoda badge to "black&white", and maybe buy some Lamin-x "gunsmoke" to the rearlights :)
