that's what I thought! shame really , they could have added some kind of clips like the OEM (maybe I make something similar)

you could chop up the oem one and bond that to it. There cheap enough on ebay

I've managed to pick up so hubcentric spacers for the car off eBay. I've gone for 20mm rear and 15mm fronts just need the time to get them on. I've also brought some more mirror caps and I've got an idea what i want to do with them.

Fitted the wheels spacers this morning but I forgot to take a before and after pictures. I think you could run a 25mm on the rear

Looking good Ant. I've just replaced my Fabia vRS MK2 with a Octavia vRS MK3 so really enjoying your post. Done a few very simple mods to mine but disappointed by the sound especially compared to the MK2 Octavia vRS I've had previously. Can I ask where you got the vwr r600 induction kit from & how much it was?

Thanks buddy for the comments I got the vwr r600 off ebay. They come up for sale every now and then. I went for that one because I've used vwr before on my mk2 fabia vrs and it's made from the same plastic so it looks oem.

I've managed to get another set of mirror caps of eBay and hopefully be dropping them off next Monday along with the cup edition diffuser to get them wrapped in a genuine carbon fibre skin ☺ 

 

 

Bad news on the carbon update. I went down today and they said it would be too hard to do with it being the cup edition diffuser and also they would have been to many cuts and joins in it. Now I'm unsure on what to do. It's either hydro dipping in carbon or just painted in black magic

You got any other Carbon on the car? 

 

Personally I'd go black magic, but that's just me 

+1 on black magic, that's what I'm painting my cup edition diffuser 

Go for a gloss carbon effect with hydrodipp. There is great variety now and the carbon prints look very realistic.

A member from the forum posted pics a while back on the facebook page when he did his interior trim and I was seriously impressed.

From what I gather he did it himself, the company he works for does hydrodipping etc.

 

Check out the bt-design.cz page and have a look at the carbon trims they got. They really suit white vehicles.

I've seen some carbon dipped stuff and it looks ****... I think black magic it'll be. 

 

I didn't think bt design did the mk3 octavia 

So some more things have turned up for the car that I'm not modifying

 

I've got the neuspeed hi flo intercooler pipe and Apr boost pipes. Also I've got coming is the Apr coolant hose, mod you can do when running a induction kit.

 

I've also went to tps to get the manifold cover so the engine bay looks alot better.

 

I've started to prime the diffuser too

No they haven't touched the MK3 yet  - wish I could I find the post of that guy to change your mind.

So through car as been back in to skoda for warranty work again with the same problems as before. The centre caps have started to pitter already after only a few months from being changed and I'm still getting the water in the front passenger side. It hasn't got sorted because they couldn't find the leak and they've got to order some more centre caps.

 

Also I've managed to get the gfb dv+ from the golf r/s3. I went for this one because if i change the turbo to a golf r one it'll fit both turbos. I ran one of these before on my mk2 fabia vrs and they was really good. The Apr coolant hose turned up as well but I ain't got the time to fit anything. 

I'm now until subscribing from this thread as you made me buy an Octavia vRS and virtually spending my money.

 

Hahaha! Looking good mate!

Have they checked the rear washer feed under the A pillar trim ?

mine was really pinched by the A pillar trim from factory, noticed when I removed the trim to hardwire my Dashcam

I don't use the rear wiper or washer as I've removed the wiper. They are puzzled by it but it should be going back in when they call me

So this is happening.... 

VERY NICE
