Today's spots

Featured Replies

Saw one proper Rapid 1.4TSI in Steel Grey today and one SEAT Rapid in Race Blue.

We're multiplying!

Saw a seat Toledo in metallic blue ( like race blue) in the showroom when we picked up the wife's new Ibiza. It looked gorgeous and the lighter dash looked good too, but the salesman said they weren't selling any!!

Only seen two red Rapid taxis thus far. And one silver Rapid somewhere down the A1.

I was originally set on the lighter grey dash, but somehow the salesman talked me out of it. I did think it would brighten the interior but in hindsight, it doesn't make any real difference really.

I'm at Oulton Park for the BSB this weekend and haven't seen many Skodas at all never mind Rapids. Saw a red Fabia monty though, looked nice.

Haven't seen any Toledos yet apart from dealer demos. SEAT appear not to be even attempting to market it! They seem to only have the 1.6 TDI SE readily available, no petrols at all listed as in stock anywhere.

Seen a maroon Toledo taxi and one Rapid on the road. That's it! Quite rare...

Were Blackpool bound in a blue rapid today - Dont know if anyone were going the same way :)

Seen 2 in a week now. One in maidenhead and one on the a30 near Camberley. Both silver the latter had an O reg prefix

There are about 13 as taxis up here now and only 2 toledos and 5 octavia mk3's

There was a Rapid parked in the same road as me when I left work today, that must be quite a rare occurrence!

I've not seen many at all. Then again I currently work in the Ellesmere Port area so the place is flooded with cheap Vauxhalls. :-

Another spotted this morning, a silver one parked right next to a new Citigo Elegance in white with the panoramic roof and ivory interior.

Not to make this into a running commentary, but I've seen a Toledo taxi,

and..

a lovely looking Rapid in grey just outside Tadcaster at about 0800 this morning.

Rapid past me this morning on the York bypass heading in the Leeds direction, in cappuccino I think. Moving quicker than I was happy too in the loan Octy II I’m currently running around in, so didn't stay with it for long.

Looked nice but not a colour I would go for myself.

"Cappuccino" ?

So poo stain brown then?

Depends on your interpretation but light beige anyway. Oh devoid of front fogs as I remember; a look that is going on me a little.

You like it that way? I just brought some fogs to fill the gap!

Much prefer the look with fogs; far more finished off. However I'm more tolerant of the without look than I was shall we say.

How much? Easy to retro fit?

£130 with the trims and mounting brackets which I thought was pretty reasonable. They are awaiting fitting :)

Not sure if the wiring Is already in place for them (and it would need a new switch too even if it was) but I'm more bothered about the looks.

Not bad :-) did you order them direct from Skoda?

One red one black crawling into Leeds on the A65 yesterday. First I've seen.

Saw a black Rapid going well, rapid on the M20 going towards Ashford this evening, However not so rapid to see it was TDi!
