Much better, I think the wheels are from a Karoq though!

Ooh well spotted, you're right, the octavia ones aren't 8j, these are. turns out these are indeed "crater" 19s from the karoq.

Gotta say that this looks alot better with the legal plate and whilst I quite liked the BMW wheels these do suit the car much better

Why didn;t you go with the BMW alloys - I thought maybe they would look ok if slightly lowered.

The Alu pedals and footrest from a golf r mk7 are perfect fit.



Takes little time, just soaked the accelerator one in hot water to make the rubber more flexible to squeeze on.



My example is RHD



Skoda dealer told me there was a skoda option for RHD, quoted me £120 for pedals and footrest, then gave me a set of pedals without footrest for a superb mk2 after waiting weeks...



AliExpress 30-something quid including postage and customs taxes which are prepaid upfront, job done. V happy.

Lovely car ruined with a full on chav number plate. Just awful in every way possible

That car would look quite classy without the horrible chav plate.
Fully agreed. I really like the badges with a nice nod to Skoda history. Subtle, smart, doubtless goes like a homesick angel. But that number plate (even with the new spacing) spoils it.

No idea, I wonder if the dealer miscalculated its value, had immaculate 18s with new continentals on it also

They definitely did! I had the same car but in a devil-fuelled version - I keep looking at approved used as it was a brilliant car.

Well done for at least managing to deal with the Skoda used website though; it makes me want to take a hammer to my laptop.

Obligatory 'awful numberplate' comment also I'm afraid tongue out

Pedals great, steering wheel badge less so.

11 grand is ridiculous for that!
Prefer the silver wheels and I think I like the mods too.

Facelift LED taillights fitted. Well that was a job and a half in terms of wiring etc.

Wow, looks great! Does the chrome part stick on top of the lights then? (I hate it but can't see it on yours).

I'm halfway there with mine, as I tinted the clear bits but would be very interested if you would offer the installation service? Also, where did you get the lights and what was the cost?



Thanks

Took my time with a heat gun to remove the chrome strips. There is a sportline variant which has black strips instead of chrome, which is better. Best to remove in my opinion, as you then avoid having to also buy the centre chrome strip, and the different boot handle and number plate lights that then become required in turn...

Ill drop you a pm with all the details

Thanks
