I am getting my new 2008 Elegance L&K 12.03.2008.

So i wanted to post some pics of my present 2005 Elegance with only 17000 km on the speedo, before i change it to my new one.

nice photography. nice car.

Will your new car have a DSG box too?

Nice,

I have spotted somthing different, if I am not mistaken this countrys octavia does not have projector headlights that we have in the UK.

No, not DSG because it`s only a 1,6 MPI Tiptronic.

DSG starts on 1.9 TDI and 2,0 TDI engines, at least here in Norway. :thumbdwn:

I`m sorry, but i`m not quite shure of this. :confused:

Bigger wheels needed I think

They may only be 16" but I do like the sharp 5 spoke design

I'd agree with that; I wonder why? Something to do with acclimatised for colder winters perhaps.

Photo is taken of the car with winter tyres

Too much rubber for my liking

I guess the smaller wheels have winter tyres on at this time of year. They look aftermarket, so my guessing is that come warmer weather the bigger wheels will go back on.

I am not shure if i want to have bigger wheels. :confused: The roads here in Norway are no good.:thumbdwn: This poor country have very little money to spend on roads.

Nice ride! A bit high in the air though (needs 35mm lowering like mine), but on Norwegian roads (even worse than UK roads) its a good idea keeping it high. Look forward to xenon. The night visibility is priceless! I've even fitted xenon-kit (4300K) on the long-lights as well - also priceless...

No. Please share when you have tested. I got my octy a month to early to order it equipped.

Thought there was something different about it... wonder why they don't have projectors, would of thought it would have been pretty standard, either xenons or projector.

Please show me a pic of what you mean by projectors ? :eek: :confused:

In the UK, you either have projector headlights or Xenon headlights. Externally they both look simillar. Heres the front of my car enlarged, you can see the projector lamps next to the indicators.

(click picture to enlarge)

It's the fish-eye ones for headlamps. I thought projectors only came with xenons?

That's at least how it is here in Denmark too: Xenon -> projectors and Halogen -> parabolic reflector.

One learns...

Look at my headlamps: Projectors

Just to add my car does not have Xenon lights, just normal Halogen ones. I had to change the bulb last week.

I have just arrived home after a little trip at my Skoda dealer, and there it was my new car witing for me.

I took a few pics of it for all of you to see.

I will get it on wednesday.

Thats even better, I spy Satnav as well.

Yes i am a bit exited about the new Satnav.

Have you spotted the parkingsencors ?

I spotted a new type of antenna on the roof ?

It's black and white - are you a taxi driver by any chance ?

No,no.

This is how it arrives from the factory, with protection on it.

the car is shipped by boat to Oslo or Drammen in eastern Norway and on train to Bergen, west Norway.
