watching with great interest Ben, I'm a big fan of the stormtrooper look

Hi all.

I have had my candy white RS wagon for a couple of months now and I will soon start my 'stormtrooper' conversion which revolves around gloss white and matte black surfaces. Not sure where I got it from, but I just think the simple black/white graphic looks sublty mean. And whether its a Skoda, a Porsche or an Aston Martin, I would be doing the same thing.

I can't wait! But sadly, with work a bit slow, some of it might have to wait. My initial plans include satin bloack powder coated wheels, matte black wrapped mirrors and grille, black roof rack exchange, covering the red rear bumper reflectors in gloss white and a darkest legal tint. But I am hesitant to do any of it until its lowered - looks like a VRS Outback at the moment!

I'm, also considering trying to adapt the new Citigo black/silver badge to the front and back to get rid of the green.

Just be careful - it does state in the listing that these are not suitable for Octavia 04-12. I can only assume because these are a stick item rather than a clip in badge. The new Skoda 'design language' puts the badges (front anyway) off the grille and onto the bonnet.

Looking at the pictures on SS, the badge looks curved so it probably won't sit flat on our grilles or bootlids. Just saying...

If it works though, Superskoda also do wheel centre caps with the new logo - now they should be an easy fit. I've already changed the boot screen logo on my Columbus to this logo as well!

Some of the SS guys have put the new badge on the FL.
After my new years road trip I'm gonna take the plunge and get a whole set of new badges - including "Skoda"
I wanna remove all badging except the new Skoda, badges and vRS. until there's new vRS and Octy badges, ofc.

So, candy_wagon, any tips / things to watch out for when removing and replacing the roof rails?

Not really Cbay. I think you summed it up pretty well in your thread about removing roof rails. I couldn't have put it better myself.

But, I haven't done it yet and I haven't been able to find anyone in Melbourne wanting to switch rail colours with me.

So, I might be going the matte black vinyl route instead. This will still involve removing them though.

Swapped yesterday with Mysticality photos to come soon.
