Post your Mk3 Octavia photos!

Just needs lowering now (arch gap looks quite big on those photos)

H&R 40mm springs would suffice

@Jaco2k and @Petunet Your cars look great in the pics above!

Has anyone else found that they can’t load up iPhone pics in here any more?

 

“You are only allowed to load up to 737.28kb”

Looking shady!

Yeah I think my remaining figure is less. I couldn't find where you can delete old attachments though to free it up again. Anyone know?

Okay, so does that mean my pics posted are at a limit?

 

Surprising, because I have probably only posted 20-25 pics in 8 years on here!

 

I have PM’d Colin too to see if he can help. 

 

Cheers,

I could be wrong but I think standard members get a small allowance, and freedom members get a much bigger hosting allowance.

 

I've only posted a similar number but my max total size is now 0.11MB. Let us know if you find the answer!

Thanks, I'm looking at returning to Skoda and getting a Scout, I'm still undecided on colour though and these pics really help

I’m a newish member and looks like you start with 100MB of space for pics

Yeah, it should come like this really. Easy fit and nice fit too!

How easy are we talking? Might add it to the list but I'm generally cack handed when it comes to DIY

I was joking - don't be so serious

...but answering your question, most VRS owners have indeed lowered them and...

...your car in particular seems to have a bigger gap than most. Might be due to the angle of the photo or the way it was parked, but on that photo the gap does look huge.

 

If you were somehow upset by the joke, please accept my apologies.

So...I faffed a bit trying to get two bolts off on the underneath/inside of bumper which was impossible when the car is dropped 40mm

So...reversed onto some raisers/blocks - 5 central screws out underneath annd then just two side ones which you just need to get under and see.

Then prise the old plastic off. New one fits so easy and lines up so easy - screws in 5 parts underneath central section and just use a spacer for each then new side holes just need drilling into bumper then attach screws with 2 spacers per screw. Can be done within 15-20 easily once you do it once.

Cheers for that. Doesn't sound horrendously bad!

How much does it cost to lower?

It does look huge, smuggle some crates of beer in there - mine used to be like that  Then I dropped it 40mm

Another nighttime at Aldi looking sweeet!

Glad it helps!

 

Tho this is an extreme case, it is not this dirty usually however driving in snow storms and salt does this. Would not change the color if I could

I’m with you on this. Way better than the maxton design one I had fitted first which just didn’t fit properly even though I measured 4 times to fit only once. I do like he look of the maxton design one but the Rieger one looks more factory  

[Dubbsley]

Rieger diffuser is great, just get shorter plates & stick them on. IMO square plates doesn’t suit the car.
