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.

 

 

 

Sure thing! Not sure why it has got 2 numbers.

That looks like a VW Golf part number to me! Might be replicated as its used on others (which would make sense!)

[alextz]

Used the first code and bought it. Thanks!

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

hi!
How did you made that amber/orange side light? 

[32KOFDATA]

I just happen to have the hazards on and snapped the pic the moment they were on. 

There is a way to have them on all the time, US style. The info is somewhere on the forum but I can't remember where exactly :(

[BlackOctaviaRS]

There is an APP, Carly for vag, that has all kind of coding, Skoda included. I had Carly for BMW full version and i had my BMW running usa Style

Nah I wouldn't bother paying as I got VCDS - from there on it allows you to tinker whatever you fancy.

I did loads of changes based on the guide here: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/299424-octavia-iii-vcds-adaptations-tried-and-tested/

I can get it cracked full working for free. But Will give ir a look

It bugged me from the start the fact that all vRSs come only with sealant fluid and a compressor rather a proper spare and tools.

Soon I'm off on a long trip and I don't want to take my chances so I tracked down a used 18inch spare which is common in the VW Group (5K0601011AA).

You might find it with slightly different part numbers but essentially it is the same 18inch space saver spare with a Continental tyre on. 

 

 

I also tried to find a used spare wheel kit but no luck. So I bought one from Superskoda as the dealer had no idea about price nor availability.

The kit comes with a screw-jack, wheel bolt wrench, a screw for fixing the spare wheel, wheel fastening strap and lifter handle. (5E0093860C)

 

 

 

Notice that this polysterene box has four fins that help keep the boot's floor steady and level. No other box will do with regards to the vRS, combi or hatch.

 

 

 

 

 

Ι transferred a few things from the other set, the compressor, tow hook etc and other minor things that will sure come handly.

 

 

 

 

Also on the side pocket it is the perfect space for a fire extinguisher of 2kg. I used the strap for the med kit to hold the extinguisher in place.

Thanx - yes it is the Reiger one in gloss black. 

[32KOFDATA]

For I while now I've had the Rieger front lip but didn't bother posting about it as I wasn't happy with how it looked on the car.

The double step put me off, wanted it something far more minimal and further more I had clearance issues every now and then since it adds quite a bit of height.

 

 

 

 

 

So the plan was to make it into a single step lip which would follow the line of the side skirts and be more practical.

Took it to a recent acquaintance of mine that does wonders with plastics, he cut it in half, removed the middle part, glued the two parts together with plastic and resprayed it.

No one will ever know.

That's very good! Looks better your way

[jaygemson]

Gotta say that does look really good!  Much cleaner.  Nicely done!

[T00mm]

Looks like it should of come from the factory like that.

Awesome photography too! Look forward to the further updates

[32KOFDATA]

Had the front of the car resprayed as the bonnet and front bumper resembled the surface of the moon. 3 harsh winters and roads full of salt really took a beating on the car. That is Germany for you.

While I was at it, I installed the led indicators so no fried egg effect anymore and also installed a Milotec rear wing completing the set of exterior modifications.

Last but not least applied a set of vinyl stickers I got from ebay on the vRS emblem to match the whole black and white theme going on.

Today I received my dynamic led turn signals. There are a few vedors on ebay and AliExpress that sell these, mainly Chinese. The ones I picked up have a light tint. Quality and fitment is good and they work flawlessly for now.

Blind spot area lights up too but due to the tint is not as bright as OEM. As a whole though they are by far much brighter (even during daytime) and more visible than OEM which I always found weak by design.

 

The only negative I find is that they could be stealthier. The white diffuser inside is visible. I would like it to be much darker when off. I'll probably play around with some tint film and see how it affects the light ouput but to be honest its not a serious issue. To notice it you have to know where to look at.

 

Got some pics and video for you to compare.
