Hi

This is my first topic on this site.

Looking forward to see what this site has to offer.

I live in sweden and I have just bought my second Octavia II.

This time it was an anthracite elegance.

Have search after pictures of this paint with black wheels or black grill.

Is that someting you could help me to find.

And what lowering staff do you recomend?

Any pictures of lowered elegance?

This is my old Octavia rs:

That rs is lovely. What wheels are they?

That rs is lovely. What wheels are they?

Look like mk1 Audi TT wheels...

They're not TTs but they are very nice!

Not sure I have seen black wheels on a grey octy yet... But I do have a black grill on mine. I know its not an estate but here's a picture anyway.

 

 

As for lowering I have just bought Weitec Coilovers. Other people on the forum are running AP's KW's and H&R Coilovers as well as a mixture of shock and spring setups.

muckipup's old car was black with anthracite, just the other way around!

 

A few photo's to give an example of the condition, need to take some more but weather poor today;

Here is an anthracite car with matt black grill:

 

 

 

And an anthracite car with anthracite wheels:

 

 

My winter steelies are black but I am not sure that would be the look you are seeking. It is not a great combination to be honest as there is so little contrast.

Not the greatest of pictures but you get the idea. Satin black Zeniths for winter. I also have some gloss black Neptunes for summer or black chrome BBS Pescaras. 

 

Hedge:

Please, take a picture on the side.

The wheels on my old blue car was Kleemann DS5
