Think they may look just right for my Octy RS.

Like them - do you have a price on them ?

A few things I've tinkered with on my 09 vRS TDi DSG

1 -obtained a compatable quadlock plug from a guy off Briskoda in UK and have run an oldschool Nokia CK-7W into the Bolero headunit.
Mutes audio, pauses cd etc and volume control on steering wheel is nice.

2 - fitted my triple TDF airhorns behind the bumper. stealth mounted a switch! (wanna be team car)

3 - had an old CB radio lying around. Got that under the passenger seat with cig socket to power it. very large PA horn speaker mounted behind passenger spot light (accessed and mounted from wheel arch - again wanna be team car)

4 - cig socket hard wired under dash to power GPS and iphone chargers.

5 - LED driving lights (mounted in blanking plate alongside spot lights - got them cheap on ebay and are perfect fit... dont use them much!)

6 - rola racks and bike carriers (for the surf boards and bikes)

7 - original owner had DVD fitted, I've sourced antenna adaptor leads so the RF audio modulator now works through radio

cheers
Drew

Nope not yet but they'd be pretty darn expensive by the looks of them.

Here's my list of mods on my Black RS Wagon:

1. ECU Upgrade + DSG remap
2. Darkest legal tinted windows
3. APR Carbonio Cold Air Intake system
4. Honeycomb Grill from superskoda.com
5. Bridgestone Potenza Adrenaline RE002 Tyres
6. Skoda badge valve covers (on tyre valves)

I've also bought eyebrow but need to get them spayed before I fit them.

MORE TO COME!!! Watch this space!

How did you like the APR Carbonio CAI? I've eyed it off a few times but it is quite expensive isn't it.

I reckon it's my favorite mod so far! Highly recommended!
Just the sound of the turbo spooling and popping makes me smile every day.
I've barely turned the radio on in the car since I installed it. PLUS the OEM exhaust now has a throatier note to it... Its awesome.

Boost has lifted a bit too, you'll defiantly feel the difference in S mode. Not great gains in power, but you'll feel the difference in throttle response and power delivery.

I paid $480 (for stage 1) during the APR Easter sale, just down at Melbourne Performance Center. the install is a piece of piss too.
But trust me mate, it's worth every penny.
