Bought my mk1 octavia vrs last week after the torque converter went on my previous car, Bmw 330d. Previously had a Fabia vrs and couldn't turn down the opportunity of owning another skoda.

After seeing this on the net it was ideal for me at the moment, big car ideal for chucking the kids in and plenty of room in the back for the amount of traveling I do.

So far been really impressed with the car. Few little things need to be sorted but will get around to them. She has 124k on the clock. Good service history.

She has I believe Audi A8 18" wheels fitted, maybe wrong. And from looking under the car she's been lowered but only springs I believe. Rides really nice, little bumpy on some back roads. Car sits really nicely.

Here's a few pics anyway...

Have a few mods I will be doing....

Changing front and rear badges for new black ones

Painting front grill surround black

Having alloys refurbished and painted black

FMIC And remap

Big mouth mod.

Only downside at the moment is that a few people have said it looks like a taxi! Lol it soon won't...

Few updates and pics. Have had the alloys refurbished and sprayed black, totally changed the look of the car,

And looking a little dirty parked up on my lunch break at work

Also sprayed the front grille and badge black. Have also fitted some coilovers and painted the caliper said yellow

Also fitted a rear wiper delete which looks a lot better. Only did it as some scumbag snapped my rear wiper arm off so decide to go for this instead.

Next up to do is get the arches rolled to give me a little more clearance and fit some spacers. As well as get the front bumper booked in for a respray and repair once I have don't the wide mouth mod and get the boot sprayed as it has a few rust patches near bottom of window and remove all badges from the rear. Then onto a few performance mods.
