Bigger/better brake update.

Having seen this in the flesh, it is an absolutely awesome car. White was never in my mind as a colour choice but it does look great on the Octavia. B)

Not sure on smoked rear lights. But everything else is spot on!!!!

Looks good. Needs to be lower I think.. ;)

Suggest you talk to j0hn before you buy the B14's.

Interested in what you plan to do ref skirts/ diffuser etc.

I like your knob, so to speak ;)

Where did you get the vRS badge from?

Indeed it does I've never really notice it being over high until I saw a lowered one next to it and thought somewhat lacking. I've picked the B14 for budget/and as it will go down a bit lower than the eibach pro's. Ideally I'd got for the KW DDC option but at the thick side of £2500 fitted its way out of the price range.

Once I've had a chance to wash the car I'll post some test fitting shots.

Today I was mostly doing this

Took the grille apart ready to spray. Top tip to help get it apart is leave it in the bath of hot water for 30-45 mins. This will stop the tabs breaking, worked a treat but still broke one as the grille got cold.New grille, well first coat of black needs a few more coats then cutting and top coat. Not 100% sure about the vRS badge, also it will not be the standard badge as show (just placed for mock up), I think I will get the new style badge for this.

I also had a quick test fit of the "side trims" to the pillars (yes I know the car is dirty!!20130226_165856.jpg

Not 100% sure about them at the moment, I like it at the rear but not sure about the post between doors.

Been a while since I've had time to do anything to the combi.

 

List of items to be fitted and completed but awaiting time and funds to complete!!

 

Now fitted the 19" Extreme's......I personally like them but maybe not to everyones taste!

 

Not the best pictures.

I love it on the extremes. Needs to go a little lower thou I feel.

I like them a lot, especially against the white.

Those wheels look bob-on. As jim carrey would say

I like it a lot!
