Cheers JV for the add
so after having a very thirsty 200bhp petrol skoda octavia with 178000 mile on the time had come for a chage i.e a diesel
looked at a few options but in the end it was either a golf tdi 150 or bora tdi 150 so after looking at a couple i found this a nice standard Bora 150 diesel which i'm pretty happy with on performance for a diesel

(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee507/hodge2802/003.jpg)
so after much thought what i wanted to upgrade i set out on a mission to find some wheels and coilovers so i bought some wheels
(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee507/hodge2802/KGrHqVnsE9fbco7gSBPlwpJpZjw60_12.jpg)
they arrived 19" didn't like them when they came woudn't have suited the car at all so off they went on e-bay sold
now i ordered coilover after much thinking ove cheap vs dear i went for the joms then theres more cash for other things and quite suprisingly these are nice coilovers not to harsh

so after doing the wheels and coilies i have a few up coming mods in mind which include
Lupo mirrors
rear valance
312mm brake upgrade
Recaro interior
R32 dash trim
R32 steering wheel
Full stainless exhaust system
rear spacers
de-badge the boot
R32 anti roll bar
i'm sure there will be more in the pipeline aswell
it is now lowered 80mm on rear and 45 on the front
-
so here is the boot been de-badged looks better now i think
