Tell me about it. I'm still figuring things out after owning it for a year. BTW my missus still likes our Octy and is resisting any and all attempts to sell it. I figure, what the heck, if she wants to keep it she can (and it is a great car which we wouldn't get anything much for selling it).

Are you allowed to modify it?

Almost 3 months old and the first minor aesthetic mods have gone on. Bugs me the coolant cap isn't horizontal. Now just need HP to get the matching washer caps in to complete the picture.

Hopefully getting the tint sorted in the next week or so then wheels will be on the agenda

I don't get the super lowered cars. I'm finding it a bitch with the stock golf how low it is.

Exactly. Any lower and I wouldn’t get mine in the driveway.

Noted and specifically looked up.

There are some gorgeous Octavias running around Europe, but surprisingly not many Mk1s in yellow!

Low is for show - most of the super low cars these days are running bags, so don't operate at that height.

Love a bit of lows in my rides, but haven't actually lowered since 2013 on my Mk6 GTI and regretted it lol.

Sorry kennyc, you know I like to stir you. If it makes you feel better the small rattles that cropped up after 6+ months driving were exaggerated with Dynaudio bass.
