After a very long waith I finally have my Octivia home.

 

I've made one or two mods from when I collected the car. It's a 1.6 diesel elegance with a few extras. Coming from a 2011 2.0 Octivia I have to say the performace is emm average at best - speed is fine but torque is absent. Other than that I can't fault the car. Pictures below were taken in the rain so may not look so good. Thanks everyone on the site for the input, you've all being a great help when specing.

 

Initally the front grill looked like this... ( bonnet open )

 

 

I changed it to look like this, I was to late to get the black pack. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LED Rear lights ( again in rain ) - Will updload a video tonight when I get to make one

 

Booth insert is something worthwhile

 

 

 

 

Looks really smart, colour choice with the black roof works too.

 

It's no criticism but the side profile of the rear 3/4s is very Audi A6-esq - enjoy it!!!

Nice car, take it headlight washers are not on the Elegance spec in Ireland?

I actually thought they were included but after inspecting they only come the Xenon headlight set... Bit peeved off but I'll get over it.

Nice ride Is this normal or sport suspension?

It turns out  it's the normal suspension, had requested Sports suspension but ended up with heated seats instead. Somebody must know something I don't know about the coming winter

Roof looks very smart 

 

Out of interest, how hot are the police on window tints, those fronts look very dark, any potential issues with having to remove them if they're over a certain percent?

In Ireland the maximum allowed for the NCT ( UK MOT ) is 30 % . I got 35% on the front and 5% on rear. If I was doing it again I'd go 35% on front 25% rear. May look a little like a comercial

Well it looks lower than other Octavias with normal suspension that I've seen so far. Maybe it's just perception because of 18inch wheels or smth. At least you got some bonus with that heated seats not that you'll be needing them anytime soon

They look a lot darker than that from the pics. 

 

Looks really good with the darker fronts, grill surround and roof blending in to the rear screen 

that looks amazing.

 

why is there no fin on the back??

Looks really smart from the top shots with the roof, almost looks like its completely glass from front to back. Must admit it does look gorgeous front the front and the back !! Same colour as mine will be when  I get it in Sept, think it really suits it !

How much was the grill change and where did you get it

I ended up just getting the black wrap on the front grill. I was too late in getting the Black pack. The pictures don't do any justice to how good it really looks in the black. One of my favourite mods...

How much and where

Really nice in white .... Have yourself started checking more on white cars now than silver, which I also want.

looks great, enough to make me consider getting white

Which boot tray is that, I don't remember seeing that one in the accessories brochure ???

Very nice well ware. Them wheels are my favorite too.

Yep. That's the best looking Octavia I've seen yet.

We always get the good specs over here

Looks awesome. Love the black roof. Might get that on my vrs estate. Enjoy!

just to give an idea to everyone, this is what the car looked like before the windows were tinted and the roof was wrapped.

 

 

This is windows only
