Black magic Octavia Mk1 VRS

Featured Replies

I picked this VRS up a few weeks ago, so far I have gave it a few runs with my DA and Merenza compound to get the car shining.

The car has had cruise control and centre armrests already retrofitted and theyre quite handy I have to say. The bump strips have been colour coded so that will save me dressing them all the time and having runs of the product.

Had 2 new Kumhos fitted and the plan is to fit another 2 next month, other plans include more cleaning including the arch liners and remove the front indicators to remove Moss. I have a full set of genuine green Skoda badges but unsure whether to fit them or not as I'm coming round to the new style badges fitted. Thinking of getting the wheels refurbed in a darker colour and dechrome the grille. Also hoping to get a nicer reg for it maybe a VRS one.

Going to grease the starter as it grinds slightly on start up, a common fault on these it seems, other than that I will continue to enjoy driving it.

Not the most exciting update but got some time to go over the VRS. Cleaned up the tailpipe with some Autosol, cleaned up the edges of the headlights and indicators with a brush and soapy water.

Still can't get the CD changer working after using a lens cleaner kit so a new head unit might be on the cards. Needs a new wishbone bush for MOT after that fingers crossed it will go through.
