Octavia vRS 300 S

Makefish · 02-05-2008, 21:20

It's taken me the best part of an afternoon to do and it's been an absolute pig of a job.

Car was filthy so needed a wash........................

Before.........

After...................

Now please excuse me while I go and die somewhere!!!!!!

**VRStu** · 02-05-2008, 21:38

Ahh you got them then.

Mine needs washing if you fancy it.

Hedge · 02-05-2008, 21:45

Actually I quite like that.

Does it call you Michael now?

Makefish · 02-05-2008, 21:52

Believe me when I tell you that these were a nightmare to apply, virtually impossible to mould round even the most straight forward ridge/corner. Being matt black shows up all the imperfections too but the effect is really good, stealthy viper stripes if there is such a thing

. Side 'vRS' stripes look good too but difficult to take a photo of.

Looks ace Steve

andy2407 · 02-05-2008, 22:52

Nice one Steve - I like that - a lot

FOZ1 · 02-05-2008, 23:05

That looks very nice,

real stealth look.

UncleRic · 03-05-2008, 08:06

Very nice mate.

daiking · 03-05-2008, 10:01

Why the 300 S? Is it a bit Spartan?

KTP · 03-05-2008, 11:34

crackin job there Steve, car looks good

Makefish · 03-05-2008, 12:53

Many thanks to KTP Keith with the assistance in designing, cutting & supplying the stripes, just a shame he lives so damn far away he couldn't help fit them too.

Been up to the shops in it this morning and the looks I've been getting are a picture

No real meaning in it, wanted to give it a limited edition type feel to it and that was the best of what I came up with (300 being the approximate bhp, using a little artistic licence you understand

)

So I'm reading this thread title thinking "what have you done to squeeze another 15bhp"

Looks sweet Steve mmmmmmmmmmm Stickers

WaveyDavey · 03-05-2008, 13:05

I'd have never thought to put matt black vinyls on a black magic car but it looks great!!!!!!! Very unique and looks the dogs.

Cheers

Dave.

Very

I hope you used barrier cream after

master-yoda · 03-05-2008, 13:21

magnifique, j'aime beaucoup les bandes façon Viper

great job
i like the stickers like Viper

Kaiserb_uk · 03-05-2008, 13:25

I like a lot, my only concern would be won't the edges show up crud and wax etc?

L-Y-K · 03-05-2008, 15:08

looks great!!

not just me with the dodgy B&Q buckets that dont stay together then

skorob2007 · 03-05-2008, 15:22

Nice looking job.Aren't the numberplates illegal for road use though?

postmanpat · 03-05-2008, 16:11

Like the sides, but imo the 'viper' stripes are too broad, preffered them in silver
