-Stage 1 DNA tune
-Carbonio Stage 1 carbon fibre intake with dry panel filter (replaces previous upgrade to a BMC panel air filter)

-RS design replacement matt silver shift knob plate
-RS badges on front passenger doors
-Facelifted Octavia and RS boot badges

-RS+ side skirts
-Carbon fibre front lip spoiler corners
-RS black fog light surrounds
-Honeycomb lower grill
-Eibach 20mm F+R lowering springs
-Whiteline anti-lift kit
-Whiteline front bushes

Things yet to arrive and to be installed:
-Skoda wheel centre caps
-updated RS front grill badge (for the new replacement grill).
-whiteline rear adjustable sway bar

Things yet to figure out how to install:
-Sharan stubby antenna (because the damn factory one won't simply unscrew off completely???)
-Magnetic oil drain plug


Things yet to do:
-Carbon di-noc the roof
-Strut braces
-New headunit??? (Bloody exxy!!!)
-Turbo back exhaust system
-Audi R8 oil and coolant cover caps
-Cover the door frame section b/w front and rear door windows with dinoc matt black vinyl
-Stage 2 DNA tune
-Slotted F+R rotors and pad upgrade with braided brake lines
-Forge TWINtercooler
-KO4 upgrade


Things I'm pondering about whether to do or not:
-Fog light assembly swap with a projector beam version (not sure if its interchangeable with the FL one?)

-LSD - will be the last upgrade if I ever get around to it and if needed after some future track days due to the bloody high costs.


Here you go guys. Enjoy and let me know what you think:

Oh sorry, the cupra lip spoiler is from Dubaddiction (my bad) - still to pick up but is there waiting for me.
Yeah I did get side skirts. Must've left it out accidently from the excitment of listing all the parts that arrived (now updated in first post).
The lower lip you got in the pic looks bloody nice and I would've got it instead of the carbon corners and cupra lip if my RS was the FL one.
Once everything is fitted, i'll post up pics and give a report but so far, the body moulding pieces look fairly high quality ABS plastic. Just doesn't come with any adhesives or fitting instructions hence they stated on their website that professional fitting is required (i.e. painting and automotive 3M adhesive. Was hoping for none of the skirts or diffusers were marked so that I could simply stick on those pieces without painting or wrapping but there are some small marks I suppose from storage at their warehouse etc so will either paint or wrap them in 3M dinoc carbon vinyl.

By the way, mine is sprint yellow too (just not the FL like yours but should still give you a good idea of what it'll turn out like if you decide to follow suit. Now if only someone else has already done the same on their yellow one then I can dream and be rest assured that it'll look awesome when complete.

Definitely some nice gear on there looking forward to some pics!

Check this out.

DAYLINE Scheinwerfer - DAYLINE-Scheinwerfer * SKODA OCTAVIA 1Z 04-09 * schwarz

They are headlights for your pre FL, LED integrated into the headlights

[Gti Dave]

Yeah I looked into a set of those a while ago but was disappointed that they only come in LHD.

yup, hence i've got my eyes on u.....in a non-perverted way!!

my plans in da future r:-
- rear bumper diffusor
- powdercoat my rims to gun metal
- lower 30mm & put 15mm spacers on the rear
- front lip splitter

when warranty runs out......ecu stg 1 remap

Just placed an order for Eibach 20mm lowering springs
Was umming and ahhhring about 35mm drop with H&R but that will put me smack bang on the lowering ride height limit (100mm minimum clearance) and being a heavy guy it doesn't help. Also, the lowering would most likely cause the rears to rub when loaded so figured I'd make a practical compromise with peace of mind and go for 20mm instead hence the Eibach's. Fingers crossed they will arrive in 5 days

Was about to pick up the Cupra lip from Tim at dub addiction but realised the carbon corners may hinder the install of the lip so have temporarily cancelled the order until fitment of the carbon corners. Tim was really cool with it. Thanks mate. Appreciate your understanding
However I did feel bad for stuffing him around so had to get a sharan stubby antenna. Just hope the stock one comes off cause it didn't want to completly unscrew last time I played with it.

I'm thinking about ordering a few things soon, if you want - we can add the stuff into one basket to save postage probably wont be for a few weeks minimum!
