A Little bit of "Modding"

uncle bulgaria · 23-05-2008, 20:35

Found myself with half an hour on my hands! So what do you do? Pull your car apart!didn't want to go too far from OEM, what do you think (apart from take a better photos & wash the car!)?

I'd say that was half an hour well spent.

Like it

looks good on a black Octy.

I do like the look of these Millotec lower front spolier grill jobbies..... wonder what one would look like on a Silver VRS ???

Looks spot on with a black VRS by the way

Again, i agree. i'd get some if they just did the side bits. And oh, havent you had those side bits colour coded? I though they came in ABS dark grey as standard?

€89 or about £70. My sister kindly picked it up for me on her last trip across europe! I think they are available here, but cost about double!!

I haven't done, but could do! I used the guide on vrStu's website for colour coding:

Octavia-vRS.com - Colour Coded Grille

and the instructions that came with it were pretty good for a translation

Yes, I thought of leaving them unfinished, as they were about the same shade as the ones I had taken off & as I hadn't got access to paint with plasticiser in it, I didn't like the idea of it flaking off!

Anyway was chatting to our local bodyshop & it turned out they were painting the front bumper of a Black Magic Octy last thursay, so I persuaded them that while they had the paint in the gun.......! So it added £30 to the total cost

i just wondered if there was a special way of getting to the bits in the grill for the air dam things.

matt@theforce · 25-05-2008, 15:05

sweet. I like it

apd007 · 25-05-2008, 15:10

Don't like the silver centre grill surround, but I do like the side bits.

I'll try and take some photos showing how it went together & where to pull it from the bumper. You just have to use a fair bit of force, which was a bit frightening!!
