The ST XA coilovers are still available for anyone with a mk4 VRS who is looking to lower their vehicle and maintain a brilliant ride plus adjustable damping.
 

PM for details of interested.

Out of curiosity, what did you go for? Guessing you were not happy with the MK4?

How quick did the compound work for polishing? Would you recommend a heavier cut?

What wheels and colour are those?

Sorry just logged back on to here, I bought an F30 340i as the mk4’s replacement. I’ve tinkered with it a little… Currently running 500bhp

 

yeh I loved the mk4 for its colour and the exterior look, still think the front end looks great, it was a good drive although lacking any exhaust note. But the issues I had with the car ruined the experience, had to hand it back in the end for my own sanity.

For the mk3?

 

I did a 2 stage polish I think, took a full day to do the whole car and then ceramic coat it. The reflections and gloss levels were amazing though. I think it could have done with the first stage using a heavier compound though to get the deeper marks out of the paint.

Well in a roundabout way I’ve ended up back in a mk3 VRS 🤣. Sold the 340 pretty quickly and jumped into an F80 M3 Competition which is one of the best cars I’ve owned. However, due to changes in the wife’s work (teacher wanting to drop hours to spend more time with our son) this ultimately had to go to support the her… so I’ve inherited her Rallye Green FL 230VRS which to be honest I’ve always had a soft spot for. I miss the big power and acceleration / handling of the M car but to be honest it’s difficult to beat the capability of these Octavia’s, proper solid all rounder IMO.

Here it is having a bath, Titan Ceramic Coating working strong! Better photos to follow once I’ve finished tweaking it 😎

Little update since the weather allowed it…

Front splitter on to sharpen that front end look up. Went for Reiger again, nice and clean look to it. 😎
