I've been thinking about getting some of these:

Any opinions? Anyone fitted them? How scary is it cutting the bumper?

Really scary

I've not got them, but what you should do is start with drawing the outline onto the bumper, then cut it out with a dremel a good piece smaller than what your hole needs to be. Then use a file/sanding paper to fine-tune the size. Nothing is worse than having a small section thats cut out to big and shows underneath the vent.

jimvrs has some on his yellow vrs.

Check his old thread in the for sale section

Cheers guys.

Jim's don't look like the Milotec ones..

But I do like the look. I'll have to get 'em painted of course!

whoops looks like i lied about them being Milotec.

Least you get an idea of what they will look like though

Got any pics of them and/or the fitting?

I ordered a set from superskoda.com

Well they arrived this week - VERY quick serive from superskoda.com

I haven't done anything with them yet - need to get them painted.

I just got mine from super skoda also, im thinking of leaving them Black but I dont know.

Is this of any help.

I thought about leaving them black too but I think body coloured will look nicer.

That does help Des, cheers

They're painted at last. now for the scary bit.

Take your time, mark, check, check again and go slowly.

Good luck, And take your time so as to do a good job..... And don't forget to post some pics once they're on.

This should do the trick...

HTH

i like the look of them, will see the finished product when posted.

Of course it'd be a lot less hassle to get rid of the octy and buy a furby vRS instead with them already done. :rofl:

And check a third time to be sure to be sure , man I dunno if I'd have the balls to start cutting the car like that , best of luck with it.

Do they serve a function or are they purely aesthetic?

Looks good and a comprehensive pictorial how-to there aswell!

Mainly aesthetic - but the intercooler lives in the front of the bumper so it should vent it a little better.

And the air filter from my CAI lives in the other side (you can see it in the last pic)
