Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!

[Ozzy25]

4 weeks old today. Came off the slip road onto the motorway behind a Jaguar F Pace. Bang!!! Got home to find my first stone stone chip on my A-post 

[Redboy]

Get used to crying  it's our great roads. Skoda do a decent touch up paint. 2 windscreens within 2 years, a bird through the central lower grill dislodging the Front Assist cover within a month, I feel your pain....better than having your wheels mashed up by the increasing ammount of potholes I suppose.

Dealer pics but you get the idea

V12 Sports & Classics per chance? Had 2 cars from them now including my vRS. Always decent people to deal with.

They now do pre-painted ones, bit of a premium on them... but i'm lazy. £50 vs £25.

I love these eyebrows and am thinking about them but what is their purpose?

 

They will complement the LED eyelashes I suppose.

They're to flutter at other Skodas

Was thinking about getting the eyebrows, I have seen them on SuperSkoda's website, I presume they come unpainted? & do you mind if you can take a picture or 2 from the front of the car rather than at an angle, as they do really look smart but would like to see a full on front face picture, if you don't mind, Thanks 

These are ABS plastic ones from Superskoda - 20euros. Don't need painting. I thought the blue looked a bit weird when matching, so went black.

The first cut is the deepest!

 

I have some pretty harsh chips on my A pillar thanks to a tipper lorry losing some of its gravel in front of me. Cost me a new windscreen (excess) too!

 

Front end is also littered with stone chips on bonnet and bumper from motorway. You get used to it

Thanks @creamvRS I do like them, I wasn't that keen on them before in the past but I think that is because I have not seen the black eyebrows on the race blue Skoda   so if I buy them 20 euros same as yours above, they come already pre-painted black from SuperSkoda?

The only thing I'm not keen on is having to glue them on to the headlamps, that's the only thing I don't like but I suppose if that is the look you want! then It has to be.

Definitely think they look good especially more from an angle but still actually look good from the full front on view (suppose seeing them at a angle shot just makes them look more aggressive)

Kinda stuck on choice now between yours above & these:

But thanks for sharing  Also like the bottom lip spoiler, seen them before but roads in London would trash that bottom lip in no time  I think the wagon looks spot on with what you have done to it

Octavia III - abs plastic eyebrows AGRESSOR

Yeha these - They could be painted but it's black ABS plastic like splitter/diffuser stuff. - Fit's really nicely - Has 3m tape on the back so whip the protecting strip off the tape, I cleaned the lights with alcohol wipes provided then heated the strips up with hairdryer then went and applied.

And thanks for the compliments - Awaiting the Rieger diffuser and looking at powder coating my exhaust tips after seeing yours, I think?

They look pretty crap to be honest. Each to their own though

Don't you just hate it when the vehicle requires 3 hours of detailing fresh after delivery!!!

Tempted to ask the dealer not to give it a clean. Did it need a good machine polish?

There was some sort of coating on it but my work will protect much better. 

All done by hand! DA is available but its brand new paint. Lol

 Yeah, it was the Hinkley branch.

[SashaGrace]

Mine have both been from Hinkley as well. It's a trek from where I am, but worth it as the prices are good.

[Telf964]

Yeah the prices seem good. The car we traded in for the Skoda is for sale with them a good £1500 less than similar spec cars around the country.
