just after opinions about this photoshop i did... the mod - under the grille all of those holes, every 2 have been joined to make them bigger. it's been lowered and leveled bottom chrome strip has gone wheel centres are white rubbing strip gone narrowed middle slat on the grille. and those truely sexy garlic driving lights, god damn i have gotta do that with the next one! Am I going along the right lines with the stripe...or does it look stupid?

Lose the lights in the grille. They are, IMHO of course, absolute bobbins. Straightout of the 1989 Skoda 'extras' catalogue that was only wheeled out when the salesman clicked that he could flog Sid & Doris a few extra bits of bolt-on cakka and eke out the most from Sid's retirement fund. Go for a plain grille and mount some of those 'motorbike' type aux lights down the bottom in the holes in the valance. Other than that I like it

I have to agree remove the grill lights and mount a pair of Cibies on the front

I have a better idea, get another grille and cut out one of the light sections and plastic weld it in there, WALLAH 3 lamp rally style! ;D You may even be mistaken for some strange Skoda Knightrider

why not mount the lights behind the grill (standard one) so they shine through.

slamming, lowering, call it what you like is all very well but I think in vrskodanorman's situation the car is going to be a daily driver. Lowering to the weeds may look good in some peoples eyes but for everyday use it can cause (as we all must agree) a lot of problems from catching speed bumps to premature wear of suspension components.

Ever driven a really slammed car? It can be hell sometimes, but not all the time. I'd still be driving massively dropped cars daily...but my wife won't let me! Skodas can go very low before they become undriveable.

rmad: I wasn't in anyway critisising the style of lowering it's just I was concerned for said member. And NO I didn't know Skodas could be really lowered before problems start.

Skodas can go very low before they become undriveable. i agree with rmad, a fortnight ago i was ranting about how much of a pain mine is to drive. love it again this week. norm-I'm with the lose the grill gang, and also the stripe. rest looks fab.

Clip-on moon discs.
Slammed.
Offset black stripe.
Pulled and smoothed arches.
Think along the lines of an Outlaw 356.
