Got my car back from coach builders after a skip lorry reversed into front of my Octy Elegance 61 plate.  Before signing off had a look at what has been done.Lifted up bonnet and thought that is heavy, no wonder the grill is now attached to the bonnet?.Also I can see a large opening where the grill was.Next my head lamps no longer have the Skoda logo on them, just plain ones.It seems I am told that the 61 plate is a A5 and the parts fitted are A7. I am not sure whether I like the change yet. What do you think?.

The grill has always been attached to the bonnet on the MK2 Octavia 

 

As for the headlights, they probably haven't used Skoda headlights. Those are an aftermarket/pattern part which is why the 'Octavia' wording is missing.

 

Personally, I'd push for the correct headlights to be fitted although I doubt there is much functional difference.
