Octi - vRS Estate in meteor grey

Featured Replies

I've owned my Octavia Estate for a month or so and have began personalising it with some bolt on accessories. 

 

Here's some photos after I first got it:

Short term plans include upgrading the Canton subwoofer, shocks/springs, remap (tempted by the Revo) and a really good detail.

The car had done 18k miles when I bought it and had a few minor scratches on the rear bumper. I had thought about getting these fixed, but in the end went for a really nice carbon fibre protector:

underside - genuine carbon fibre

The boot on this thing is mega, but twisties don't really work with something in the boot. I've added some genuine nets to solve this issue:

@Auric Goldfinger looks ace. I'll also be retrofitting the black grille and perhaps the mirror caps. Cannot believe the original owner didn't spec the black pack.

Also 'upgraded' to this:

It's actually very handy and holds my giant iPhone. Sold the old one on eBay which basically paid for the new one!

^^^^  I too have this upgrade  ^^^

 

Your estate needs a black roof spoiler, mirror caps and a black grille

 

I too have fitted a black boot lip protector.

Hadn't considered a spoiler. I wonder if they make a carbon one?

Little Mini service today. The car had been serviced 2500 miles ago, but I didn't trust that the pollen filter had been changed. Judging by the colour of it, I was right.

only took 20 mins - next time it'll be half that as most of the time was spent mastering the glove box soft close latch.

These arrived in the post. I've fitted the boot and glove box ones so far. Huge improvement. I'll get some photos:

Most Pollen Filters are charcoal lined, so they start out as that grey colour.

These ones were from eBay. All seems to be well so far, I'll try and get some photos of the other ones fitted.

It was the fact that it was full of hairs and leafs that bothered me most.

Got mine from super Skoda. You can get from dealer but my dealer was more expensive.
