Probably the most controversial colour in the fourth-generation Octavia's palette. And with a few styling touches it is even better!

We gave the RS a closer look by fixing one big factory flaw: the lack of any sound.
We replaced the original exhaust system with a homologated system from Remus. Although it is the quietest option available, you notice a big change in the car's character from the very first start, and the annoying drone of the in-car sound generator is replaced by the pleasant backing track of the Remus exhaust, with no worries about roadside checks abroad or future noise tests at our STK inspections.
The owner of the RS (and we) felt that red calipers did not go well with Mamba Green. So we chose a nicer combination and painted the calipers in the original colour from the Škoda colour chart. The centre of the front splitter got the same colour, which really changes the look of the front end and makes it more aggressive.
The icing on the cake was the rear of the car: a lip on the original rear spoiler, a painted and fitted CSR rear diffuser and the exhaust tips changed to gloss black.
