What were the first things you did to your Octy when you first got it?

I pick mine up tomorrow and my brains at 140 mph! Inspiration please

wash it?

Yep lol washed it!

Couldn't do anything to it in the first year as it was under warranty and my insurance was over a grand anyway.

I think I bought a few Skoda bits for it - VRS seat covers, door sill protectors, front mudguards.

First aftermarket mods I did were little things like a G-lock, Aquapel, S2000 aerial and Foliatec bonnet lifters.

Did a Briskoda handling day in it 3 months after I got it and its first trip to the Nurburgring two months after that

Took the compound and buffer to the pink rear spoiler,

Then full service including cambelt, tensioners and waterpump

First thing I did was to drive it home

^^^^^ hahahaha theres always 1!! I will be too doing the cambelt, tensioners, and full service when i go into work on thursday. I bought all that already and i aint even got the car yet! 3 self tappers in the SAI as its noisy, and a starter clean me thinks for me.

gotta convince the wife to let me remamp it too. :yes:

joined briskoda! Lol

changed the breather pipe due to it having a big split init then headunit and speakers

Took all the dealer stickers of the windows.

Sat in it and made noisy as it needed work doing to it

If you get it remapped, get the sai delete done at same time then you can remove it and throw it in bin

debadged it

Changed the sump after cracking it.

Then...

Tried to fill it up with diesel, only to find that Barclay Card had stopped my card due to a "large" purchase. That large purchase was the car. Cretins.

Once home, I washed and polished it

Drove it to weymouth

then everywhere else randomly trying to get my 1st 1000 miles

1st mod i beleve was my tsw kyalamis or it may have been some stereo or sorts

it all seems soooooooooo long ago

Drove it to weymouth

Did you have fun on the M5*/A303*/A37?

* delete as appropriate.

a slow not much fun run down the A37 iirc

i was nice a did like 500 miles under 2500 rpm then another 500 under 3 i think

i think it got smaller margins then like 250 under 3500 then i beleve that was enough of that

Feckin tax it.

Next a thorough clean, you never really know your car until you've had your hands all over it!

Over the last 4 months: Head unit, speakers, amp, sub

And this week an alternator lead :S

I think my Octavia was a complete bargain and had rarely been used by previous owner 😃 I got in changed the tax disc and drove it home havnt done anything to it as it seems pointless 😜
