That's reminded me I have two pre-FL upper grille covers in the garage

That's reminded me I have two pre-FL upper grille covers in the garage

Tell more me....

Ordered two in late 2013 I think, for a mate and me. But that winter ended up being pretty mild from memory, then we both changed cars in 2014

 

It's this: http://www.e-heko.com/en/Marka_Model/SKODA_OCTAVIA/II-2004.html

 

Seem to work well and are well regarded, by our more northerly cousins in Scandinavia

 

Give me a shout if you want one of them, and we'll sort something out.

What do they do?!?

They warm the car up faster in cold weather, as you're limiting the airflow flowing through the upper grille.

Well haven't update in a while so here goes my mini update

First off I have some gen skoda vrs mats

Also had fitted a dash cam which so far hasn't captured any bad drivers lol

Then gave the old lad a full wax and polish

Looks brown in that pic and looks swurlly but it's not :-/

And even cleaned up the engine bay

Comments and input would be great

I have my rear spacers to go on tomorrow

Looks great, I don't know if you have seen I'm doing a rolling road day on 19th March in Leeds bud
