Lovely looking Octy!

Do the Philips LED fog light bulbs cause any issues or warning lights?

Thanx! No, no issues at all.

As you will notice they have they're own resistors so you won't need to bother with VCDS coding etc.

They are! light output is ridiculous. Best price I could find was on ebay. Have a look there a few listings right now.

Am I right in thinking you need 2 pairs?

2 bulbs per side?

Got the FFRs are on - what do you guys think?

 

The AMGs even though they are nice and a classic design I feel lack the sportiness (best word I can find) that appeals to this car and also look small for the size they are.

Also they didn't poke out enough so I was considering to go for spacers but I didn't fancy adding more complications and weight to the setup.

Lastly AMG wheels are heavy as any other stock wheel. At 15Kg almost they cannot be considered performance wheels and I always favor balance between looks and performance.

 

The FFRs on the other hand sit flush, they are 10Kg each and the glossy graphite shade is great too look at under the light. More pics.

Love the wheels! I too have been looking at Ispiri wheels they have great styles.

[Rsrob]

The wheels look great on the car works well 

[JohnnyType2]

First thing I noticed too 

[JohnnyType2]

its more the colour puts me off 6.5K blue, its very hard to find 4.5K leds in h16 unfortunately.

The other day I realized that the Octavia Cup has sideskirts.  They are not very obvious and even though I had seen many press shots of various Octavia Cup spec cars only recently did I notice them. (old age I guess :P )

They follow the lines of the car nicely and I will be painting them gloss black to match the Rieger diffuser. Still on the hunt for a front lip to complete the set, I've seen the Cup one, the Reiger and the Maxton one but none is what I'm really looking for.

Will have to research more and make up my mind.

 

Will get you pics soon as I put them on.

Very nice they look good in gloss black 

[ahenners]

Those wheels look great! Suit the car well 

[32KOFDATA]

Took advantage of the good weather this morning at some twisted roads.

[T00mm]

Love the Inspiri wheels, Great choice!

[32KOFDATA]

Boys night out yesterday and I realized... I got a fat arse. 

[32KOFDATA]

Cup sideskirts are done. Fitment was easy as expected but some trimming had to be done where they meet the rear mudflaps but nothing major. It was probably designed like that because the cup Octavia's don't have wheel wells?

They feel very sturdy, like how they follow the lines of the car, they do not extend outwards of the car's floor but only a bit at the back and don't interfere with the car's jack points.

Overall very happy with the result, highly recommended. 

 

 

 

[Phillips]

Love how subtle they are but appear to make a big appearance difference, might have to look into these

24C today

Can you please share the code for the rubber mat in the trunk? I see that with the variable boot set to the lowest variant it still fits.
