Skoda Octavia Mk1 Tuning Parts — Page 34

For tuning Skoda Octavia I Tour (A4 body, 1996–2010), there are vehicle-specific winter grille covers for the upper and lower grilles, a rear window visor spoiler, HIC wind deflectors, stainless-steel chrome trims, roof cross bars for rails and for a smooth roof, rubber, polyurethane and EVA floor mats, dashboard trim overlays, and a leather gear shift boot. Some parts differ for the liftback and the wagon (Combi), and Octavia II A5 parts are not interchangeable with the first generation.

How to tell Octavia Tour A4 from Octavia A5?

Octavia Tour is the first-generation Octavia, A4 body. It was produced until 2010 in parallel with Octavia II A5 (2004–2013), so the model year alone is not a reliable indicator. The A5 has different headlights, grille, bumpers and center console, so winter grille covers, the visor spoiler, the gear shift boot and mats from A5 won’t fit the Tour—there is a separate page for the second generation: Octavia II A5. If the rear glass lifts together with the trunk lid, it’s a liftback (SD, LiftBack, HB labels on the site), even if the documents say “sedan”; the wagon is marked SW.

Which winter grille cover should I choose—upper or lower?

These are two separate products; you can install them individually or together. The upper winter grille cover blocks the radiator grille between the headlights; the emblem stays in place. It fits both liftback and wagon 1996–2010; material: matte ABS plastic. The lower grille cover 2000–2010 blocks the bumper opening under the license plate and is designed for the facelift bumper used from 2000; it does not match the shape of the early 1996–1999 bumper. The lower version is available in matte (ABS) and glossy (polystyrene). Both attach with hooks over the factory grilles without removal. All options are in the winter grille covers section.

What chrome and exterior trim options are available?

• Chrome trims made of stainless steel: Carmos window surrounds (4 pieces), trunk lid edge trim, door handle covers—standard and “with holes” options by OmsaLine (Italian stainless steel) or Carmos, mirror covers—asymmetrical OmsaLine or symmetrical Carmos. Window surrounds are decorative trims applied over the lower edge of the glass; they do not replace the seal. There are also turn signal repeater grilles made of ABS plastic.
• Door sill plates—Carmos stainless steel or Flexill aluminum with plastic in Sport and Exclusive versions; 4-piece set (front longer, rear shorter).
• Wheel arch trims—4 pcs: Max chrome stainless steel or black versions—metal or ABS plastic.
• Rear visor spoiler (“blenda”, “visor”)—fiberglass, matte black. It’s bonded with glass adhesive/sealant (adhesive not included), because double-sided tape may not hold at speed.

Which cross bars fit the Octavia Tour roof?

For the wagon with factory roof rails, there are cross bars for roof rails made of aluminum and plastic, 2 pcs: lockable Wingbar up to 110 or up to 140 cm, Erkul non-locking and CAN non-locking up to 105 or up to 138 cm. For bodies without rails, use the Oluksuz V4 roof rack for a smooth roof with a complete mounting kit.

What mats and interior accessories are available?

Floor mats for Octavia Tour are available in several materials. Rubber sets (4 pcs): Stingray Premium with no rubber odor, Polytep (standard and with raised edges) and Niken 3D; a separate rear tunnel bridge piece is sold for rubber sets. Stingray 3D polyurethane is a 5-piece set: 4 main mats plus a tunnel cover. EVA mats by Digital Designs are a 5-piece set in black or gray; EVA is a lightweight honeycomb material that traps water and dirt in the cells. A separate EVA trunk mat is also available.

For the dashboard, there are Meric dash trim overlays for cars from 2000—wood, carbon, aluminum or titanium look; they stick on over the factory plastic. The Digital Designs leather gear shift boot installs onto the factory frame as a replacement; the knob and frame are not included. Other small items are in the interior accessories section.
