Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!


Recommended Posts

Changed from a '60' plate Silver vRS 2.0 TDI Manual with 57k last August to a '63' plate Rio Red vRS 2.0 TDI Manual with 11k and some unusual 18" alloys. I was initially shocked by the low MPG compard to my previous car but now it has done 20k it's much better - thankfully.

 

It was the colour that made me change.

Rio Red also made me change from a stream of black cars.

Led VRS. Me thinks we have the best colour in going for Rio Red but no doubt others will have a different opinion. Enjoyed seeing your pics. Black pack for me with the Gemini anthracite wheels but liking the chrome and silver as well - difficult choices there but not in going for Rio.

The Pictoris are great to look at but a real bugger to keep clean - so it's a brush and Megs Wheel Brightner mixed at 10:1 to keep them clean.

 

When I picked the car up the colour wasnt as good (flat looking) so after spending a few hours and some elbow grease, I stripped off the showroom wax and started with Megs Cleaner wax then 2 thin coats of Meg's Gold Class with Carnuba.

I prefer the deeper looking gloss finish.

Thought i'd post a pic of my 230! Did originally order it in Meteor Grey but the wife hated the colour and she pulled rank!

 

 

Well your wife nailed it, Meteor Grey is beautiful but the Corrida Red on Skoda is the equivalent of Audis Misano Red and is just stunning!

Nice motor mate, I will keep an eye out for you around the area. I'm near Garstang and often Preston way.

Here's one I took 1km up a mountain close to Malaga. Car handled the ride nicely with the DSG adjusting accordingly to the very steep drive.
