Hello everyone,

 

I decided to make myself an account on here, having read a few useful threads and thought it would be a good place to post pictures of my car whenever I get the urge to take some snaps of it. I've certainly gained some inspiration for some mods.

 

I am a relatively new owner of a 2018 (68 reg) Mk 3 hatchback in SEL trim, with a 1.5 TSI 150BHP engine and manual 6 speed gearbox. I love the colour - Race blue!

 

I bought my Octavia as an approved used vehicle from my local dealer back in April, it had just over 4k miles on the clock. I love it, its a wonderful car with a big interior and the trim level gives it a nice smart feeling inside. My girlfriend is always commenting on how I have a nice fancy car now. I upgraded from a 2007 Vauxhall(Opel) Astra which had somewhat regular problems with the engine. So after saving a lot and keeping my eye out for a bargain, I got my Octavia quite a lot cheaper than a brand new one would have been. So i'm very happy and now looking into subtle cosmetic Mods to make it my own. 

 

Here are some edited/ filtered pics I took of it from the latest bank holiday weekend, after it had a darn good wash.

Very nice car, hello and welcome. My first mod was mudflaps to try and keep the Oct clean. I do like a Pipercross panel filter too, that went in too. 

Mine came with rear mudflaps, might think about ones for the front. In the pipeline I have lined up: Genuine rubber floor mats, Sport pedal covers and door sill protectors. Also thinking of the boot tray that hangs under the parcel shelf, and maybe some gas struts for the bonnet.

Was there any noticeable difference once you put the filter in? Is the stock one a cheap cost saver or is it decent enough?
