What did you do to your Octavia today?

[aware]

I haven't been out on the bike properly since beofre I bought the Octavia back in March due to both uni and work, but finally had a slight reprieve last weekend so the roof racks went back on and finally got the bike back out!

I've never seen so many people stare at a car - I guess around here the accepted belief is that you need a stupid SUV to do anything outdoors.

If people weren't stupid they'd know Skoda's are normal to have bikes in and on them!

As I now have a Chassis Number for the RS, I've gone ahead and purchased a fair bit of extra weight or is it 5 extra kilowatts?

Aliexpress: Skoda Knife badges (like the Golf GTI PP); Interior rubber mats (console); Rubber Key Fob covers; Phone hold for air vent
ebay: Black with Skoda logo valve caps; Door Edge Protectors; Door striker covers and hinge covers; Green & Red pinstripe; couple of key rings.
All up was about $90, not bad I thought.

Also on the look out:
For a good Dash cam
Superskoda discount week for rubber mats, or are there cheaper ones in Aus?
Directcarparts RGM rear guard bumper protector
and then when its delivered, a TPMS from Inawise.

Hey mate,

I have also ordered a new RS Sedan (not the 230 though) and mine should get here in a few weeks. I like the list of things you are getting for it, I am also looking for some minor mods I can pre purchase. Would you mind linking the above items where you got them from so I can have a more detailed look at the items?

Cheers

Hey MJ87,
PM'd you so I don't fill the forum with old links.

Also Looking out for good sound deadening as I'm reading the deadening standard isn't that good.
Will be ordering dash cam and TPMS very soon too

Took it in for a respray on the rear bumper... someone backed into it in the work carpark less than a week after the last repair :/

Got a practically brand new Q3 2.0T Quattro as a loan car.... all I can say is.. yuck. Horrible infotainment, horrible gearbox, horrible handling, horrible seats.. the Octavia is such great value in comparison.
