Skoda Modifications

Can you tell me more about the Koni FSD & the Springs? Also, the ALK has me intrigued.

Very interested in the cons (increased NVH?, excessively noticeable by others in the car, not a good idea for a P-Plater?) as well as the pros.

Have my Octi finallly! Loving it so far

Already have my eyes on a few little tweaks and mods.
I have enabled the fog lights turn assists via VCDS, upgraded firmware on the RNS510 to 3970 in anticipation of hopefully being able to integrate some custom POIs via the SD slot and PoInspect0r.
Invisibleshield protection package
Tints

Have the following parts on order:
Custom number plate brackets from Larkin
LED interior lighting package from Superskoda
SSD to retrofit into the RNS510

Considering an ECU upgrade if funds permit
Will look at improving the sound insulation in the boot
Maybe Whiteline ALK as I hate breaking traction in a front wheel drive car. Am kind of missing the off the line performance of A3 but we all have to grow up some day

Very nice! I am also considering the WALK in the future but next on my list is to get a bunch of LED stuff plus some neat little trims from superskoda...maybe even take the octavia off the boot.

Definitely get the tune, the difference is amazing

A few things I have found this morning..

Guide to fit Lights in Footwell!! In Spanish - Translates best with Googletranslate

My spanish not so good...if you are registered, can you post a translated version?

Well I tried the 3970 firmware but custom POI import doesn't work so rolled back to 2760 and made a custom nav disk with fixed cameras and school zones which looks like the best that I can do at the moment. Pretty happy with the result though, its not that difficult to create a new disk every few months with new speed cameras added. SD card would be ideal but if we lived in an ideal world we wouldn't have 2 year old nav data on our expensive Columbus units!!

SKODA

Squiz through that. Interesting to note that they still have the older style 18's!

For anyone who hasn't seen what custom pois look like here is a pic of the schoolzone and fixed camera pois that I've added into my maps

The icon I used for the cameras is a bit ordinary but does the job.
Shame you can't get it to do an alert as well as you approach.

Wish I had the Columbus in my octavia and not the bolero
