  1. Push fit. Little plastic connectors and corresponding holes in bumper.
  2. Yes it's as good as Octavia size really. Such a shame they offer lower spec I really don't understand why the Spaceback gets the additional spec and the rapid doesn't. A MFSW will cost you £100-150 and I imagine a garage will fit and code it for you for probably around the same. Cruise can also be retrofitted. Sat nav unit can be bought on eBay and fitted yourself but the tricky bits are locating the antenna and DAB aerial. All feasible upgrades and l gives you a bit of a project. I'm upgding my MFSW to a flat bottom VRS one soon and will be selling the old one so watch this space.
  3. Yes if we are just talking about the boot capacity alone it is approx 415L v 550L. For me personally 415L is ample given its a hatch with folding seat for the times more space may be needed, but we all have different priorities and needs. For me better spec and a half decent boot size was a no brainer. I still wouldn't say the Rapid Spaceback is a much smaller car though. It's the same car with a smaller boot.
  4. I've owned both. I can say that the Spaceback does have a slightly smaller boot but it still has a decent sized boot. To say that the Spaceback is a 'much smaller' car isn't true.
  5. VW general rule is 75k or 5 years however this can differ dependent on engine.
  6. Or just go for the Spaceback which has a much better spec. That was chief amongst my reasoning,.
  7. Looks great. What springs did you go for?
  8. Still available? Are they black or silver? Any pics?
  9. Sorry can't help with the part number but I've had a similar issue ( hole too large) and I just used a rivet to secure the number plate. It's an ok solution if you don't need to remove your plate often. Or easier still, sticky pads.
  10. Hi Delberthot, I have a vinyl wrapped one but now I want a sparkly one! Is there a particular time of year superskoda have these sales or is it just a case of keep checking the site?
  11. Thanks for all the very helpful responses. I have now put a deposit down on a Rapid Spaceback Sport 1.2TSI so will be jumping over to the Rapid Forum. The clincher was the extra space and options (cruise/climate) for roughly same price tag.
  12. Hi all, im back in this forum after selling my last Rapid a few years back. I just put a deposit down on a Race Blue Spaceback SE Sport at Smiths Renault Peterborough. I chose it because its has the lowering kit fitted and has been remapped to stage 1 and fitted with the black grille surround which are all the things that I would have got done anyway so I was very happy with my find. Just wondering if the previous owner may be knocking around this forum? Reg is HY66 ZP*
  13. Very nice, looks great in Candy White
