My Octy2

Here are a few pics of my Octavia mk2. Its a graphite grey 1.9TDI that put out 122bhp standard on Westwards rollers with 900km on the clock.

Wheels are genuine 17" Skoda Pegasus and before ye say it I am not lowering it.

WW_VRS · 16-10-2005, 09:54

Very shiny

How are you finding the body roll during cornering, esp. considering the remap

?

stopan1j · 16-10-2005, 10:51

Looking good as is the scenery in the background, like the rear shot, you forgot to clean the backside of the mudplap

mdk1 · 16-10-2005, 12:51

Looks good , what make of towbar do you have?

Fabia 12v · 16-10-2005, 14:14

Lovely car... like the colour too

flynntech · 16-10-2005, 15:38

Thanks. Its graphite grey. Body roll aint too bad surprisingly considering I had a 2002 GTI before this.

regarding the mud flaps, I didnt feel like washing under the arches especially on my new tarmac. :-)

Cheers on the scenery compliment. Landscaping was only done this summer.........

Towbar is a dealer fit Brink. They put it on as part of the deal.

**GAFF** · 16-10-2005, 21:39

Looking good. You'll have to give us a shout next time your up in the Dublin area so we can have a good luck

Johnnyc · 16-10-2005, 22:40

Nice motor. Looks like you also have one of those cars that puts out lots more power in standard spec than on paper. I reckon both the 1.9PD and 2.0PD put out more power than on paper. Unlike some people on here I don't think it's a fluke that all the 1.9PD and 2.0PD based cars in the VAG group tested and chipped by Superchips had more power than expected in standard guise.

Cheers guys.

Any other suggestions for further mods?

Johnnyc · 16-10-2005, 23:45

How about a black grille conversion instead of the standard chrome!

flynntech · 17-10-2005, 08:36

Can you buy those black grilles or is it DIY?

Johnnyc · 17-10-2005, 08:52

that I don't know but as the OctyII is fairly new you might have to make history by getting it done yourself. Wouldn't get a spray can out though, i'd get it done professionally to ensure a good finish and that the paint adheres properly.

flynntech · 17-10-2005, 09:54

I actually like the chrome grill so will leave it. I have ordered the twin tail pipes from the dealer too. Should have them next week. Then its angle grinder time......he he!!

LesPaul · 17-10-2005, 13:03

Nice colour choice

Mine looks almost identical apart from an extra bit on the rear and the twin chrome pipes

If i remeber, i think Roo has had his grill sprayed black

Johnnyc · 17-10-2005, 17:58

I think you are right. I saw it a post a couple of months back. I'll do a search

Johnnyc · 17-10-2005, 18:00

Here it is

How do you attach links to words or sentences anyway?

Black grille looks smart on a black car but if I ws going to do it then I'd go for body colour. I think that I will leave well alone for the moment.
