What did you do to your Octavia today?

Enabled lap timer on Maxidot, CH/LH lighting on fog lights and fitted and coded LED number plate lights. Much appreciation to the guys over at Briskoda for all the VCDS coding tips.

Fitted my DTM Lip from Superskoda Rieger Rear Diffuser is on the wishlist

[masev]

Nice! been thinking about purchasing one of those lips too but afraid that my wife will destroy it on a parking kerb! especially with the front lowered by 40mm!

The whole Rieger kit looks f@#$ing amazing but very pricey once imported, sprayed and fitted! *sigh* maybe one day....

The stock height and bumper is already too low for me to even think about this. You are lucky if you can get the car over those concrete bump stops at times. I'm finding I am reversing into to spots more often to avoid it but then you can't get to the boot too easily.

Anyone had any luck ordering large items like baby seat protector, floor mats, boot mat with fold out lip or this.

Freight pretty much dobles the price on any of these large items. Are they available through Skoda spare parts any cheaper?

[woofy]

Just buy a normal baby seat protector, I use them with a thick towel in my previous Skoda. Nothing really special about the Skoda one.

Thanks Guys, yeah its definitely not cheap!! I'm super paranoid I park mile away from the Kerb, I dont trust the parking sensors as they dont pick up anything low. Ideally we should have got front and rear cameras. I've bitten the bullet and ordered the Reiger rear valance for $300NZD delivered. Last one in stock off Ebay seller. it's also gloss black and has the cutout flap for the tow bar
I've been thinking about lowering the car. The arch gap doesn't look too bad with 19's but its pretty huge with 18's. Nothing crazy just Eibach Pro-kit and maybe spacers for the stock wheels till i decide on wheels.
I also picked up Heavy Duty rubber mats from SuperSkoda. I got suckered by the price till you add shipping and duty then realise how badly you got raped lol anyway future purchases will be met with more Skepticism.

Aren't the circumferences/diameters of the recommended tyres for the 18 inch and 19 inch wheels the same?
The arch gap will be more or less the same without lowering but the disks will look more puny.

I can see the relevance of larger diameter wheels for performance and/or hefty vehicles requiring larger diameter brake rotors but otherwise it is just a styling affectation which will probably give a poorer ride and arguably worse handling especially on standard Australian public roads.
Then again who am I to talk, I wore flairs and platform shoes in the 70's until sanity, or was it a fashion change, prevailed.

Looking to get the octavia's windows tinted in NSW, I remember there being a post or thread on it where someone recommended a mob in Sydney that did good work. Can anyone remember who that was, or alternatively suggest someone good? Newcastle would be easiest but Sydney is also ok.
