What did you do to your Octavia today?

Details?

Edited my post

No chrome bottom yet? That's the pimpest mod

Not shelling out 20 euros from superskoda. Might check out the local dealers and see how much they're charging

For LED's I got them from LEDPerf Pack Full LED interior for Skoda Octavia 3 (5E)

But I think Bold Sport are far cheaper for aussies (and far quicker!) - And bold sport also do the loom for footwell lights
Here is the link for the footwell light loom Bold-Sport.com :: Footwell Light with Connector Housing

You can buy the chrome ends from a VW Dealer - they arent the satin chrome (aka R8 style) like superskoda, but they are half the price!
VW Part number 5G0 837 599 A
I'm looking for an ebay one that will ship to oz, but they are 10 pound ($18 AUD). I might call a vw dealer with the part number and see how much vw in aus want for one.

EDIT: Bold sport do GTI and golf R end caps for 20.89
Bold-Sport.com :: VW Golf VII 7 Key Fob - Emblem R

The R cap wouldnt look too bad on a RS, but you can get a plain chrome cap for the same price, i'd get that.

9.50 Euro

10 Quid
Genuine VW Golf Mk7 Chrome Key Top Kit BRAND NEW | eBay

EDIT: I found a seller that will ship to oz. Asked for a price on a qty of 10 (that's 5 cars worth) as shipping should be the same for 1 vs 10. Assuming I get a decent price, anyone keen? Should fit in the smallest/cheapest post item (or pickup in brisbane) - i'd suggest post parcel mailed to one member in each capital to save on postage

[GTR27]

The Seller got back to me. He will do 10x Genuine Chrome Key ends for 110 Pound (almost spot on $200). SO $20 AUD ea, delivered to Brisbane.

I'm happy to buy them, and split them up into capital cities, and divide the express post packs across the cost of the key ends, so we all pay the same if others are keen?

$10.55 for an express post satchel for 500 grams (I guess 4 - 6 key ends could go in one), or $13.40 for a 3kg parcel post one (all could go in there).

If we ship to melb and sydney and a member there offers collection, then we could reduce the shipping costs for all. Or you Could pay ~$50 a pair and i'll post it direct to you.

Looks like Skoda have gone a bit cheap with only one scuff plate (on the top 'ledge'), the Mk2 has two, one on each 'ledge' - see dArK5HaD0w's pics below. I got the matching rear scuff plates for mine as well.

I'm down for two, NSW way. I can be the collection point if we get enough people interested.

I think that seller won't ship to oz, venom.

I'll call a vw dealer this morning and see if $20 from o/s is a good deal, or how much they are in oz

Went to see my baby today - still in drydock with gearbox in pieces.
Yet to find out what Skoda's going to say RE: rebuilding new gearbox.

On the plus side, delivered both whiteline front and rear sway bars for them to install while the subframe is out and its up on the hoist, so when I do get it back it'll be better than ever!

[vEnOm_oz]

They will, I got in touch a few months ago and was quoted £7 for shipping.

I didn't contact, as when I went to do a query about postage, it says no international. Guess I should have done it. Still, it will save ~$2 per key, so worth it!

EDIT: I'm spending on mods for this car as we plan to keep it till it dies. So it might look like lots, but I figure better to get it out of the way at the start, and enjoy it the whole life of the car.

Edit2: called vw $33.22 ea, not in stock has to be ordered.

Who is buying from o/s with me?

Gtr27 x 2
Dzldubba x2 (?)

Yep two for me GTR

[vEnOm_oz]

I'm interested as well. So how much are we looking at for 2? Wonder if it will work out cheaper from the dealer if there isn't enough numbers.

Dealer was ~$33 each. We will be able to get them from o/s for 20 bucks (roughly) delivered (assuming people buy 2 each) Dealers will have to order them in, so wait will be similar.

What state are you in?
