What did you do to your Octavia today?

try Alba European or Prestige & Performance in Coorparoo

Awesome. Cheers for the heads up! Fuel guage seems to be getting worse: it died again on the way to work this morning. At this stage I can live with it: it seems to come good after the car has sat turned off for a while: I.e. It's working again now I'm on my way home...

Managed to find some DSG paddle extensions that fit the mk3 from eBay:

Excuse the pic quality, it was inside the garage.

Happy with the result, the maniacs ones would fit as well I guess but the price was a bit steep for the benefit it provides.

Added atleast 0.5KW by blacking out my badges..

I take it that our padle shifters is more akin to mk6 golf gti not mk7?

Looks really good, thinking of getting one myself.

0.5 kW for blacked out badges?
isn't that abit greedy? You already get an extra 5kw from it being red

Correct Reza. Quality isn't bad, for the price.

Odd that it's similar to the Mk6, when the Mk3 octavia is MQB platform, just like the Mk7 golf? (i.e. it should be the same as a mk7 golf)

I followed the same reasoning, and now have some Mk7 ones sitting on the shelf . The Mk7 are a flatter design, and squarer, and don't have the curve towards the bottom of the paddle.
