The Octavia taxi

[Taxi_G]

So bought this back in March it's one of the taxis I've liked and will keep it for a few years.

As it was delivered to my garage, in for full service, timing belt & full set of disks n pads and pre taxi test

Found a cheap VRS wheel on here to get rid of the terrible plastic standard one

Then I colour coded the grill

Rear Tints

And new wheels are currently in transit

17" Superb Dolomite's, 15's are too small and I also wanna do a 312mm brake upgrade so needed bigger wheels

Future plans

312mm Brakes

Suspension upgrade ( Eibach emergency services springs, heavy duty front n rear kit, to stop rear end sagging with weight )

Remap as its too slow 1.6 105 :-(

Retrim the interior with a heavy duty leatherette

So after a nightmare with a seller on EBay, paid for wheels and never showed I found another set of 17" Dolomites silly cheap without tyres, condition I'd say is 7/10 but I'll get them refurbished over winter.

Pics don't do it justice, really love how they look on the Octavia.

Fitted with 4 new Uniroyal RS3's on 225/45/17's

I'll grab better pics soon,
