Red Octavia VRS mk2

@Redboy

 

Thank you, I took it off from the DSG and center console as it looks better just around the other parts, less is more etc.

 

It is just plastic moulding/trim addition....

Yes I agree, less is more

[HarleQuinn]

Headlights tinted, pillar wrap removed, replaced with the milotec pillar covers. Much better as they match the wind deflectors and shine from the glass. Also changed my wing mirror covers to black after buying and spraying a set myself!

The bonnet stripe has gone to a better place, the bin, I don't know if I'm happy or sad about it

 

 

[HarleQuinn]

Small update, finally had the bumper lip wrapped, thanks to @Dubbsley for the inspiration! It needs a little bit of aftercare as we lost the daylight but that'll be sorted next week.

Looks good fella, did you wrap it yourself?

Hi mate, no had it professionally done. The curves and angles put me off doing it myself!

[HarleQuinn]

New Kenwood head unit is in. There is a slight gap above it which I'm going to fill with something and it protrudes out a touch at the bottom but that's due to the curve of the fascia but the stereo being straight. I know the carbon wrap needs redoing, I rushed

Looks a lot better without that bonnet stripe. Where did you get the Milotec B Pillar covers from mate?

Thank you,

 

I got them direct from Milotec, costly but very effective and the best way to get the right finish on the pillars!

Small update, because it is plastidipped originally the red looks unsmooth but I quite like it now. Better than just black in my opinion!

Looks good mate, definitely better than solid black.

[HarleQuinn]

Thanks buddy, yeah I like it. I amy eventually try to get a smooth finish but it'll do for now!

Eibach Pro 20mm lowering springs fitted and Bilstein B4 dampers. Then some Lemforder strut mounts and Sachs bump stops and covers all round! Fitted Friday, didn't want to go any lower as it is a daily car and I am adding a front splitter soon...

Does it feel any different to drive now?

[HarleQuinn]

A little, ride is comfier and seems to go round corners with a bit more of a roll. Definitely a worthy change!

[HarleQuinn]

I still miss my bonnet stripe so something a little less discreet. Still not to everyone's taste haha...

20% VLT tint. Basically a light smoke 20% tint. Thank you

 

A little mod, not perfect but it needed some hand painting so not completely smooth as I'd like but I am happy, I am finally fully dechromed (apart from the exhaust) #SayNoToChrome

Updates are coming thick and fast at the minute...

 

Rear diffuser fitted, Small lacquer peel so I need a little respray with it on the car but I am loving the rear end now!
