I'll take the photos of the beast/bumblebee once all installed which should hopefully be late this wednesday. Lowering springs won't be in by then though.

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!

i'd love to in a couple of weeks - unfortunately its a long term plan.
won't b doing anything to it now, gonna keep the way it is.

most likely sometime end of next year.

Sorry guys can't take pics of the updated beast yet. Still got masking tape on the rear bumper diffuser and waiting for the adhesive (stickaflex) to cure completely. Was told it should be okay to take it off tomorrow but the longer the better. But so far I'm very happy with the result.

Still need to find out whether the FL grill and grill surround will fit the pre-FL. If not, then I'll just order the matching honeycomb grill insert from superskoda. Been getting mixed opinions about the matt mirror covers. Some say it needs to go whereas others say leave it since the grill is chrome anyway and would look funny if there's no other complementing silver around.

ALso picked up the FL 'octavia' boot badge once the original one is removed.

Okay everything is as finished as can be for now. The body kit parts are all fitted and ready for some pics. Just uploading them to photobucket now. Also got the Forge diverter valve spacer and uprated diverter valve installed today. Damn its loud!!! Also took off the original pre-facelift boot badges and replaced with updated face-lifted ones. Still waiting for the replacement Skoda wheel centres to arrive.

Nice!

Wanna sell me your stock springs when you put the new ones in?

[Gti Dave]

No worries. The Eibach springs should arrive soon.

[gldgti]

Cool.

Re- the rear badge - when I got my octy a couple of weeks ago, I thought I didnt like the badge too... but somehow its grown on me.

Anyway, can't wait to see pics of the your car lowered.... and hope you get your skoda centre caps soon, i'm waiting on a set too... (from Bulgaria of all places)
