      Welcome Martin, I'd say the most notable Skoda guy is Toddzy running around in his Octavia vRS Wagon. He's done some awesome stuff to it.

        Thanks guys

        Yes - I have been reading up on what can be done

        I've had the APR ECU update done, puts a smile on the face but need good road to use it from a standing start

        I've done the tweeter capacitor modification - certainly an improvement but not a full solution
        (Our Mazda 3 SP23 has a bose kit which sounds much better - but then again it has an automatic with a torque converter)

        I put a pair of Philips blue vision bulbs into the low beam - nicer than stock

        Getting a set of Michelin PS3 tyres tomorrow ( stock size 225/40/18 ) on grey Audi 8" rims ( ET45 - same inside result as stock )

          I also got these carbon stickers for the key - looks cool
