Re: Race Blue Stage II vRS, now on Helios

Thanks for the comments lads, really happy how it looks,

I'm hopefully getting coilovers for it soon, sitting a little too high as it is on the H&R cup kit,

The Twintercooler came brand new in black, it could be got in silver also, but I wanted black as it's more discreet and you can't really see it through the grille in the bumper,

Anyway, forgive my (lack of) skill with a camera, here's a few other pictures I took!
Hopefully the suspension will settle down a bit when I drive it, only drove less than a mile to take the pictures, so we'll see!




I'm surprised at how comfortable it still is on the 215/35/19 tyres, was expecting it to be a back breaker, I'm old and like my comfort!!

What do ya think!

Thats the money shot for me, look fantastic, great work.  :happy2:

That looks top dollar Mark the Octy looks like it should have come from the factory with them wheels, pure porn on any Vag but look so right on your Octy.

Enjoy it now mate.

Thanks a lot lads  :happy2:

I've got a set of H&R twintube coilovers to go in soon, so hopefully it will look nicer a bit lower, hoping it won't totally ruin the ride quality I have now on the 45/50mm H&R cup kit!!  :jumpmove:

Thanks Matt!!

Anyway,

Got this box in the post today, was waiting on another box aswell but it didn't come today!



Here's what's inside!





I got them from superskoda, ordered them on Sunday, got them today.

The fit is perfect, the bonnet release lever has to be cut down, but it is easily opened, loads of room to put your fingers through the grille to open it.

Here it is compared to the original grille



Here's the bonnet release before



Cut down



Both upper and lower grille's fitted






Delighted with the results!

Took around an hour to do the both of them.

the only problem with the honeycomb grill on the Octavia, is that silly looking bit of metal up the middle that you can see through the grill!

Thanks lads, yeah Darren, I need to paint the blue support behind the grille black when I get a chance!

I got these light's the other day,



Just test fitted one of them to see what they look like!



They look really well from that angle, but from the side the indicator being clear ruins it I think



I'm going to lamin-x the indicator with light tint to make it all dark,
