The superskoda one looks more aggressive, or is it just the angle the picture is taken at?

What are peoples opinions?

Yeh it does look more aggressive but i know what one i would have and thats the genuine (supposedly) skoda one at £208.

The official Skoda one linked to is for 2009> only, i.e. FL only?

Have a look at this

aye seen that, looks good, its to go on a FL. thinking about getting it in black. I checked what my insurance would and wouldnt allow, the diffuser they wouldnt (tinted rear windows, black alloys and a small/med spoiler were all OK) unless it was purchased and fitted from a dealership.

WTF? It's hardly going to make it any faster??

I know (quite the opposite) its purely aesthetics, it doesn't alter the air intake to the rear as it isn't big enough. the underwriters still said they wouldn't cover it.

i believe the official skoda one is not compatible with the vRS models, whereas the superskoda one is specifically for the vRS.

speaking of superskoda, they have 2 versions - i however can't see any difference between the two.

- Octavia II RS - rear diffusor STUDIE RS+ v2.

- Octavia II RS - rear diffusor STUDIE RS+

They'd argue that it makes the car more attractive. I can think of another reason but I'm too polite to say - each to their own.

the difference is at the end of the defuser. the RS+ V2 has erm "fins"? at each end where as the RS+ does not

HTH

What's the point? It serves no purpose?

purely looks. im undecided i do think it fineshes the rear off nicely, dunno if looks that good for circa £300 tho!

i came across your blog last night, like the pics. useful insight into the springs aswell, something else im think of. i have a white vrs estate on order.

IMHO, you'll get ten times more satisfaction from an upgraded RARB & a Whiteline Anti-Lift Kit for that £300 :yes:

Thanks.

As has been said, 300 quid would buy you some other mods that could be argued as a better way to spend your money.. suspension upgrades or a re-map.
