Nice black logo... first came across this on Briskoda and it got me doing a little DIY some time ago...

 

Can anyone spot the difference? [:p]

hey bro LS

Can do a closeup? Can't see too clearly. Also, wonder anyone of you know where to get the metal VRS tags for the front grille and the boot? WOuld be nice to "pretend" haha. Still looking for those nice Skoda decals for the windows which relate to WRC, VRS or something, just for the fun of it. Haven't got the "authority" to have too many things within the cabin yet (wife quite conservative), so decals would be fine for now. :-)

hi bro LS

hmmm.... think it is the lighting (overcast or directly falling on your car), so the logo is obscured by dark shadows. But I think i get what you mean. You did it yourself painstakingly, or had a professional painter to do it?

 

Any chance of telling me where we can find those nice VRS metal plates for attaching to the front grille and back? just curious.... I know it sounds frivolous. :-)

The lighting's pretty bad, but then again, the logo is how it is... DARK [:p]

 

As for those metal plates, I've actually bought some, but yet to apply them to my car [lipsrsealed]

 

Don't mind me asking, wouldn't it be strange for the vRS badges to be on a Superb? [:p][lipsrsealed]

Eh Lightspeed..

 

You Octy looks great... Noticed your exhaust is different from mine.... Your's has a more muscle look. Dual Thick Chrome Tubes.. More powder-full. Is yours an upgrade ?

 

Mine is 2 tubes curved downwards...

 

I know changing exhaust will provide a bit more power and make car more noisy. Do you know if it will improve FC ? Or will it suck more petrol for the improved power ?

 

rgds.

======================================================

The car is running on a Supersprint exhaust currently, upgrading the muffler will gain a few horses, but more noticable gains on a TC-ed vehicle, I believe Jhoo is letting go of his at a bargain...

======================================================

 

Wooot !!! It looks niiicee...

 

How's the noise level compared to stock exhuast ? Is it much more noisy ? Don't want the neighbours to think I'm too much of a beng...

 

Will this suck up more petrol as well ? This one is serious concern... 95 RON now $1.70 liao..... and looks to climb higher....

 

Will drop Jhoo a PM...

 

 

Thanks

Eh Lightspeed,

 

Went to the Super Sprint website... A lot of goodies there to make one drool. Saw that there is a Centre Exhaust unit also.

 

The "RS Look" Rear exhaust for 1.8TC only looks even better !!!

 

Do you need have the Center Exhauast to work together with the rear unit ? Or can the rear exhaust work with the stock center exhaust ?

 

The rear unit should work with 1.6 models ?

 

Sorry for my green noobie questions....

 

thanks

You can get the whole lineup at Jeep Chee (minus the RS look muffler as they do not bring that in) but it's gonna cost you a bomb...

 

Try to get hold of Jhoo's unit 'cos its cheap as compared to a brand new one that costs $900 [sweatdrop]

Nah... didn't do the front as I felt that the dark badge would look really out of place on the chrome grille [:p]
