Octy makeover

[cfcilldara]

I have a regular 00 Octy and was trying to find vRS design front and back bumpers to jazz it up a bit (can't afford a real vRS!) Is this possible/any websites I could find these?

have a look in max power or try some wreckers maybe. bear in mind insurance will need to be notified.

Why would you need to notify Insurance company just because you changed the bumpers?
Its not exactly performance related

You have to notify insurance if you do anything I suppose - in case they use it as an excuse to weasel out of a claim.

These days insurance companies will try anything to wriggle out of paying and potentialy rendure you uninsured, technically meaning you are breaking the law, would you want to risk that?

Basically look at it this way, what would you rather nick for a joyride a vrs or a standard octavia? If you change the bumpers the car instantly becomes more nickable to lil chav bassas.

Dont gte me wrong i h8 insurance companies as much as the next person but you can kind of see where they are coming from on some aspects

yeah it is also defined as 'a special relationship' in UK law requiring absolutely honesty from both sides. If that is not followed the insurance can be delayed void.

The differences in the plastics are pretty subtle (based on parking an Elegance beside a vRS).
