    don't think so - the front grill is different. honeycomb (last year) vs slats (this year).
    unless ofcourse they reverted it back to the original stock grill.

    rego plates are the same & I can't see anything special/custom about them.

    Maybe they went back to stock grill because people wanted to buy the honeycomb & it wasn't available?

    buggered if i know really.

    That honeycomb grill is not that great anyway, I have seen a better version on superskoda.com - the one shown above does nothing for the Octavia, much prefer the slats.

    Personally, I like the new colour scheme better then the old
    MY10 Occy vRS \\ GIAC Flash Tune \\ 19" VMR v713 \\ It's a Skoda. Honest.

    That orange is a lot like the Euskatel Euskadi cycling team colours. IMHO they had the best looking support cars in last year's Tour de France. I reckon it's a straight brand recognition crossover thing: get the footy lads and bike nerds in one hit!

    More orangey goodness:

    I wonder what sort of sponsorship deal they're getting from carsales. Would be nice if they could get some extra brand presence on the carsales website.
    now: 2008 Octavia RS TSI manual sedan, yellow, Stage 1 tune, 185kw.
    before: MY11 RS TSI manual wagon, race blue, sunroof, tint, MDI
    '74 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 - mint
    '70 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina - project
