Rumours of xenon lights

[RapidRonnie]

A rumour is doing the rounds on a Czech forum that Xenon lights will be available on the Rapid from week 32.

Balls.

They will be an expensive upgrade, bet they look like the sport model lights with led drl's.

Retro fitting ftw

[RapidRonnie]

And some softer touch plastics..

Rapid changes:

Week22:

- Rear electric windows will be operatable from the drivers door controls

Week 32:

- Better noise insulation

- Softer plastics

- Xenon lights option

I'm not disappointed as I am satisfied with how my car is in all these areas and the price I paid for it. However I think it is a good thing if it attracts more customers to the Rapid in the future (and stops some of the whinging!)

I wanted xenons!! And elec rear window controls could be retro fitted...

Don't you think the Rapid's lights are much better than those in the Fabia2 though?

Should have the rear window controls, but I couldn't give a proverbial poo about sound insulation. It would be nice to have xenons....

I can't wait for the soft touch plastics, however as the current plastics chafe my organ when I dry hump them.

Same here to be fair. The only thing that's really made me think "huh, that's a bit poo" about mine is the fact I can wind my window down with one touch but not back up again ... Waiting on hearing whether this is fixable via VCDS

:lol:

As for sound insulation - turn the radio up.

[Ad Lav]

Sound insulation is better on this than the fabia. Lights are better than my fabia but xenons ate a must!

I will cost up some lights

Where is this list from if you don't mind me asking, presume its the 2014MH changes?

Certainly sounds like good improvements anyway and a shame it didn't have those features from the start. Will take it further upmarket for sure. Will make things more confusing for used buyers though as it essentially means there's now a third spec of Rapid following the early cars and spec upgraded ones from recently.

Agreed. The major criticism people (and magazine reviewers) seem to have about it is the fondle-worthiness of the interior plastics - the problem is though, if they are changing them because of that, surely the damage is already done? Unless they dish out demonstrators to magazines again hoping for them to re-do their reviews?

This is a very good point. Luckily it is in time for the Spaceback though so they can point it out to the reviewers then.
