Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!

Getting mine next week and agree that the 19's a sweet but had to stick with the 18's for Because I live in a country area of Ireland and 19's would be destroyed by some of the roads I have to travel. And probably my back! :D

19's are no longer available in Ireland (or at least they were taken off the list of options in Ireland back in September 14 and I'm not sure they're back on)...Living in a rural area of he Midlands in Ireland I had the same concerns about ride quality etc but I was willing to overlook them...Had my decision made for me though

[MidVRS]

Your real name isn't Dan Martin by any chance is it.. living between Ireland and Brum....     and with a castelli top on, I hope that bikes got campag on it rather than shimano or sram...

No, not Dan   And its dura-ace on the bike..Have been a Shimano guy since the 1980's with Shimano 600

I ride Shimano on my race bikes, as Im likely to crash them, but crashing my record group would probably make me cry.... I had shimano 600 on my dawes equinox.. lovely bike.... reminiscing....

 

Back on topic, once it defrosts here in Sandford (sic), Ill redo my plasidip badges and photo the car for the thread...

I (where of course its not dangerous) turn off the auto lights to stop the washers keep going off.

Only saving grace is that as soon as the washer warning is triggered the headlamp washers deactivate until refilled leaving you with approx 1 litre of fluid that lasts quite a while if used sparingly.

That's very nice!! Of course the view does help :-)

Are they standard steels?

Look a bit like the 17 t5 wheels, but the pcd is wrong :-/

The colour did not seem to excite too much the bulls

What engine is that? the radiator grille is closed. The greenline TDI?

Here's a few of mine with roof wrapped

[Bowiesst]

Looks awesome. How much did it cost if you dont mind me asking?

[butchvrs]

I've ordered a Race blue hatch with the option sunroof, and I'm having the remainder of the roof wrapped to match the sunroof surround, because to me they look odd having a mostly black roof and a small amount of the cars colour on the remainder.

 

And yes that does look good.

[iain tb]

Cost me £110

My vRS with it's winter wheels on looking quite glossy for being washed 3 days previously 

 

 

[crazyviolindude]

It's come to that time I need to get the duel action polisher out.. It's between microfibre and foam pads. Any suggestions?

[Guest Cossiecol]

I like the Hex-Logic pads with Megs polish they offer a wide range for correction and finishing.

 

Been tempted to move to the MF pads but I'm too comfortable with my current set up.

Is that a euphemism?

My head is fried. Race blue or black. Both with black pack and full leather. I drive 200km a day so the black won't stay clean long. I have a 2013 in race blue. Arrrggg. Need to decide today.

[Gromle]

Race blue!

Was never in doubt when I ordered my car.

Amazing colour, and at least here most cars are White, Black or some shade of gray. Race blue stands out.

[Bowiesst]

Sometimes I think I should have gone green. Theres a mk 2 round the corner from me in green and always looks cleaner than mine after a drive.

[aidangill]

With having a race blue it's putting me off a bit.
