Thanks for giving me an idea what my vRS would look like without the decals. I have the black on chrome ( anthracite ) Gigaros though.

Thanks for your comments. I only picked up an all white one because it was what was available for the right price on the lot (red or grey with dark room and rims would have been my first choices), but I admit I'm starting to really like the stealth look a lot. It's amazing how many shocked looks I get when it blows some wannabe away (for some reason, other little "normal" cars are the ones who usually want to "play").![]()

My latest cosmetic mods...
1.Dash Mat.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, some people think they look ugly, but if you want your dash to survive more than a couple of Australian summers, they're just about a necessity. Keeps it cooler inside as well, because the dash was holding a fair bit of heat prior to installing this. You can get a black version as well, but the interior is dark enough already for me to go down that route. In case anyone's wondering, it has a flap cut into it to allow the passenger side airbag to deploy properly.
2. Rear sill/scuff plates.
A good match for the fronts. I believe they're genuine, but not 100% certain. Available from Superskoda, and presumably other places as well.
3. Monte Upper Grille
A great improvement, as this now matches the mirror scalps, and the whole front looks more aggressive. The contrast with the white also helps "make" the look. Yes, I know I still have the chrome bottom surround, but I'm not about to change the headlights - not worth it to me for the cosmetic change - and they match the remaining chrome.
4. Middle Muffler/Resonator Delete.
I can't really "show" you the sound improvement, but here's a pic of what comes out. From the looks, given the straight-through glass-pack look of it, you won't get much, if any, performance increase, but it does sound better.

Tried to put the hood dampers in - What? TORX-ey type screws/bolts? - Not in my toolbox....
Had to settle for putting in new NARVA Arctic Blue +50's no more yellow low beam.
Deleted the green checkerboard, SKODA badge, and Nurburgring decals, for a cleaner look.
