Phil's Octavia vRS estate build thread

[pip_vrs]

Removed the Brembos as my new wheels didnt fit on the rear, and was made an offer i couldnt refuse on the fronts.

Refitted my R32/S3 brakes and painted them back blue.. Miss the braking power of the Brembos though.

New wheels.. Rotiform IVS 19" 8.5j et33/35

Split them down polished the dishes and got new polished bolts as didnt like the gold ones. Centres satin gold.

Next update shortly, just got to finish tapping four M8 holes and spraying.. Can you guess what it is?

Few updates seen as i havent added any in nearly 5 months.

Ive been toying with the idea of a facelift front end since i got the car, but getting headlights etc would have cost a fortune. So i bought a facelift bumper and set about fitting it. To get the lines all correct it wasnt possible really, so the bumper was chopped in half, welded to the top half of the normal bumper. Then smoothed off..

The outcome..

Why do you have two build threads ? Car looks amazing

[pip_vrs]

Dont have a clue. There was one in the octy section. And one in the freedom bit.

Splitter didnt last long.

Caught it on a cats eye on tuesday which smashed the bottom off, then today ran over a branch to finish it off. [emoji23]

Caught on a cats eye?? That is low

Great pic with the stick poking out. Looks like it's got a cigar

[pip_vrs]

Luckily that stick stopped on the intercooler and not peirced it.

Haha, thanks mate, I was looking over it at lunch time why's almost every post been double posted?  

[pip_vrs]

I have no idea, it wasn't when I used to keep it updated.
