What did you do to your Octavia today?

[mrjubei]

Im in Melbourne, what items are you looking at?

I'm looking at picking up these:

DTM front spoiler/splitter

And the bonnet dampers/gas struts

Added these couple of little bits to my RS wagon. The order from Superskoda only took a little bit over a week to get to me.. very happy with the experience so far..

Just check that the boot lid doesn't touch that. Mine chipped right along the edge with one of those.

Thanks.. I made sure there is plenty of clearance when opening and closing. I was a bit paranoid about that when I was fitting it.

Also fellow Octavia owners there is another thread here about software upgrades to GPS, showing speed cameras, sounded good, I bought the software key it but it does not work, so beware.

Thanks for the heads up on that one...

Front splitter is a must.. got it on my Mk2 and it makes the front look sooo much better..

Plus, it also protects the bumper from getting scratch to the ****house...

Today I finally got my Koni FSD shocks added that I picked up 2nd hand on the forum.. together with Eibach springs that I have had on the car for around 12 months now makes the car feel incredible.. heaps smoother and less harsh...

I dont have to cringe when I go over train/tram tracks now...

Installed the front mud flaps.

Easily done by turning the wheel as needed and using the star screw driver in the boot tool kit.

The genuine kit comes with a push in plastic plug...but you have to drill a small hole where the 3rd hold is (furthest hole away) but i'll do it another time.

I drove my car in E mode today...


WHY!?!??!?!

Why indeed haha. I lasted about 1km before switching it off.

[MJKooLio]

I like gliding down hill on E...

I've been cruising around in Eco mode. After a while it makes the RS mode seem aggressive.

After sitting on the fence about this for the past week.. finally decided to do this...

Waxed/Moisturise the leather part of the car seats

mrjubei:
I'm thinking of doing the same too, any tips on how to cleanly remove the badges?

[MJKooLio]

Tooth floss

Then some product with the number 40 in it cleans the sticky residue off.

[mrjubei]

Yep dental floss is the way to go.. I used a heat gun on low to soften the adhesive a bit... makes it a bit easier for it to come off.
I used some FW1 that I had hanging around.. it's cleaning wax that works well to remove tar, tree sap, bugs etc from paint work. Came up a treat. There's no trace of the badges left, you would never know that they were ever there.

[Smiley_Walsh]

So, I discovered 'clay bar' today..
Worked a treat!

You left the vRS badge ... a little bit of vanity?
