Well..here are the pics...

Mil · 19-11-2005, 14:43

First off...the headlights. I removed the tints, and have taken a picture of it to show you what I meant by black bevels...

These are the 16" Octavia Turbo rims...the dealers here are so nice they let me swap my old 15s for these nice ones...as said before, will be changing the tyres, they really have messed with the performance of the car, they're too big...will be getting 195/45s...

Hey Tom, you can stick these in your 'Alloy Wheels' thread, let me know if you would like bigger pics though

Mil · 19-11-2005, 17:37

Wow...no replies and I posted this hours ago...where'd everyone go??

Lummox · 19-11-2005, 17:46

I really like the darker headlamps, I've seen them on a customers LHD Fabia and liked them, shame they are LHD only.

Wheels suit the Fabia shape pretty well I think, will look sweet when the right tyres are fitted.

Dave_Fox · 19-11-2005, 17:47

Like it

Won't 195's be slightly too narrow....Or is that what the car came with standard?

Tom_vRS · 19-11-2005, 17:47

Are they teh alloys we have on the Octavia Blueline?

Will add to the archive soon!

Lummox · 19-11-2005, 17:55

Yes Tom

Dr Zoidberg · 19-11-2005, 18:01

They also used them on the Octavia Ambiente SE over here as well.
They seem to suit the furby better

pixi · 19-11-2005, 18:20

Very nice looking car, Mil

Mil the site was due to be closed for most of today, so not many will be checking in...enjoying the oh heck it's dark again, was going to say sunshine.

Johnwg · 19-11-2005, 20:34

Look great Mil, but that sunshine looks 10x bloomin better at the moment - pitch black and -3 in the NW of England at the moment

Fabia 12v · 19-11-2005, 20:45

Looks great

BeezerDiesel · 19-11-2005, 20:56

Wheels look a bit like the mk5 Golf R32 style (only smaller). The boy racers will be after you now!

My dad has them on his, take an age to clean

Mil · 19-11-2005, 22:20

Don't know about any Octavia Ambiente that have these wheels on, the Octavia 150bhp Turbo model comes with these rims here.
One way or another, I still somehow can't believe I got the GM to trade with me these wheels for my old 15s! All I did was buy the new tyres as per Skoda recommendations for the Octavia to wear the 15s! So in total I paid only about 80 pounds to get these wheels. Haha.

Dave, 195 is the original width that the tyres come in on the 15s. Plus with the fact that these wheels are wider, it means the 195/45s will need to do a little stretching

I'd really like to stretch it, the narrower the tyre the tougher the sidewall, but I also wanna keep the RR as close to the original as possible, and the closest it gets is with 215/40 tyres, which I'm heavily thinking about.

Guys, thanks for all the good happy replies, I'm really happy with these wheels, just got them cleaned with WD40 the other day, thanks to a cool someone who advised me here

Ross, thanks dude. BTW, what is the difference between LHD and RHD, other than the fact that there is LHD and RHD? Aren't the electrical setups the same, and therefore these black-beveled lights should work there??

Lummox · 19-11-2005, 22:25

The beam patterns are different on LHD and RHD lamps meaning they are not inter changeable.

Where our beam patterns are wider kerbside to the left, yours are wider to the right.

ScoobyChris · 19-11-2005, 22:26

Looks excellent, mate!

Something about the front looked different compared to the UK spec cars and I couldn't put my finger on it. It's been bugging me all afternoon, but I've just worked out what it is .... no fog lights!

Chris

arcom · 20-11-2005, 01:18

Nice rims, Mil!

Is your car lowered? Anyway, looks great!

Funny thing about those black bevels: I've got them but a friend of mine doesn't (mine is silver '04 model, his is black '05 model). Also, his previous black Furby, '03 model, had black bevels

When I bought my car I saw that only models with light colours had black bevels whereas dark-coloured models didn't. IMHO, it looks better with them - makes the headlights a bit smaller and nicer

Mil · 20-11-2005, 05:52

@ Chris

Arcom, I can see in your avatar you have the lights too. They had them in 2003, but were pretty limited then, and I also noticed they recently put them only on light coloured cars. However, as far as styling goes, they MUST be put on a black car because it looks way too cool. And yeah, my car is lowered about 40mm, but the tyres that came with these rims are absolutely gigantic. Funnily enough, it still sits lower than the stock Fabia.

Ross, I really had no idea head light issues were that complicated

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm well pleased with my newest mod
