Hello Skoda Community

Hello all!

I just joined the forum after looking around the Octavia section; particularly the mk3-octavia-photos thread and seeing lots of little tweaks and mods. Lovely!

I will be collecting my new Octavia Estate/Combi on the last day of Feb. It is on the boat now.

My new Octavia Combi is the fairly recent (and probably short lived) SE Sport trim, 1.4 TSI 150 engine, Corrida Red, 18" Alaris alloys, tinted windows, and SmartLink.

The new mkIII facelift version has just become orderable (sortof), but my current company car has to go back at the beginning of March. And company cars have gotten to tax heavy!

I've already decided to order the black grill surround (from the vRS) as all the other trim and roof rails on the SE Sport is black. The silver surround jumps out a bit too much for my liking.

I am debating the non-vRS front bumper DTM spoiler for the , but I think I may leave that one alone for a while.

Once I get the car and swap the grill surround, I'll take some pics and post to the mk3-octavia-photos thread; if it lets me.

I look forward to chatting to you all

William
