on fenders above side repeaters and front grille:

It would be easier if you used something like photobucket to link your photos, even I cant be arsed viewing them all

Final summary for Octy I users:

You should only use:

CITIGO

1ST 853 601A AUL - Front

for the front grille and rear trunk.

It fits perfectly, convexity is the same as on the trunk and grille..

Rear one from CITIGO is plain-so no go.

RAPID one has convexity slightly smaller than one on the grille and trunk, so no go to.

Hope this helps Octy I users to upgrade their badges, pics to come soon.

In a word beautiful

In a word beautiful

Tks very quick car! Was stored after a respray in 1989. Body was mint but paint required correction and detailing. Oil in the engine ad separated and after I put a scope in found rust internally so. Pulled the engine and rebuilt it with my mate (who served his time at Cosworth building F1 engines, etc.). Block was pickled so that the casting was completely clean and the heads were converted to run on unleaded. New race cam, rings, bearings and 750 Edlebrock performance carb and away you go :-). Putting out about 380 bhp

Is it a 7.2

Guys, nice words but lets s get back to the topic

Some more pics of new front grille badge on the car as promissed:

I know its not to everyones taste but i now have the new citigo badges on my Silver Octy & to me it appears to be a lot smrter than the previous coloured badges that had white worm & the car is only 2 yrs old.

At least these wont go the same way as the old ones

Please excuse the slightly dirty car but the current snow / rain & grit doesnt help the photo, the grille came off & was thoroughly cleaned before putting the replacement on, & the rear was also cleaned & clay barred before sticking the replacement.

Looks good , I thought the topic had died a death, not got my Octy anyway now

Yea meant to ask what the heck was going on with that profile pic?? Tell me you haven't been hit by financial crisis and had to downgrade to the poor mans Skoda??

Kay need to change your signature

Yes right an R36 is a poor mans Skoda, well actually yes, tax £460 a year and 20 mpg round town, but I love it !

and if I changed my sig noone would know who I was, and it is still blue, and did not want to shout about it, dont want it nicked

WOW you posh traitor! The tax may seem high but in the Netherlands its about €150 a month road tax on a 1.8 petrol (emissions based)! So think yourself lucky money bags! I must have missed this on a previous thread do you have any pics of her then? Saying that I am still tempted to get an M5 but I really really don't even need the Skoda so it would be silly for me. :(

I will pm youwith pics, a mate had his nicked the next day posting on here

Holy smokes! I hope it was just a coincidence, did he get it back ok?

No he never saw it again, it took him a year to find another nice one, I went out with him a week b4 xmas and said I have got to get me one of these, so did xmas eve , Tracker locate on mine

Lovely choice of car. I see one now and again on my daily commute

Seemingly the new badge is due for the Fabia and Roomster around the 10th feb. Direct replacement which will fit the Octavia with the correct guide pins, no mucking around with badges from the ****tygo. Well hold fire tell then I think.
