Looks great! Didn't know you Danish neighbours needed winter tires, do you get much snow and ice?  :p

 

Kudos to the winter ride hight tho!

Very nice car, great photography too.

H&R are a very nice set up - i had monotubes on my last vrs and was very impressed.

Oxboll, your car looks fantastic !

I was trying to find some pictures of Bentley wheels on a Skoda Octavia 3 and discovered your car and Briskoda.net.

I searched a lot on the forum but didn't find an answer to my question.

Regarding your RS front bumper, which parts did you changed ? Are the mounting points the same on RS and non RS O3 ? Did you had to adapt something in order to fit it on the car ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi 

 

Thank you for the kind words, I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out. 

 

The RS bumper is plug and play. Everything fits except you need to redo a little wirering at the fog lights - the standard 5E only has one bulp in the fog lights and the RS has two 

 

I have a complete list of parts needed to do the conversion somewhere. Let me dig it out for you in the next couple of days. 

 

As with the Bentley wheels, you will need to adjust the camber for it to fit if you want to lower the car.

Thanks for your reply !

 

Regarding the wirering, no problem ;-)

For the Bentley wheels, I found someone in Belgium selling them but yes I want to lower my car and with a 9x19 ET 41, the person told me that I have 2 options; adjust the camber OR work on the metal inside the wheel arches... I don't really want to do that.

Regarding the camber, here in Belgium there is a procedure to follow in order to pass your car at the inspection when you are lowered, if the car is not in the limits you are refused and you have 15 days in order to present the car again.

I bought a few days ago Audi S5 wheels (19"), wheels looks great for me but with the actual clearance between wheels and arches, it seems to me like I drive a Jeep :-p.

If you can provide this list to me I will be very happy ;-)

 

Thanks again.

Love it mate, looks awesome!

I`m planning to go vrs bumper convertion on my 2015 octavia front and rear. Are you consider a vrs rear bumper? Would have been nice I think.

I was suggested to bring the car when going to the Post Office! Great idea and good to have a “stationwagon”

 

New SRS-Tec Wide fenders arrived, should give some more clearance in the front :-)

Nice! Really looking forward on your review of the quality on those fenders. Could you post some pics of them before prepping and painting?

[Oxboll]

Finally got the summer wheels mounted. Bright silver Bentleys with polished faces for the rest of the year, but will be back to titanium grey for next summer - This is a bit too bright for my taste, but I just can’t be bothered changing color on the wheels for the few months left of Danish summer 2017

 

Next on the list is mounting the SRS-Tec Wide fenders.
