Car gone. Sad times, but loving the Clio. Please close.

Actually, I was lucky and got nearly £7300. I was surprised to be honest. The book price was £7010 but I got extra because of the condition. He was very happy with the condition.
-
Only two days left before it goes. Just been out in it and it's a truly great car.
-
Ha, at least you've had some interest!
-
Yeah, I'm amazed I've had hardly any interest. Either way, it's going on Thursday.
-
Offers under £8k??
-
Where are you based Wakey. Perhaps we could sort out something. Potentially, I don't mind meeting and getting a train home.
-
Just put a deposit down on the Clio. This will be part-exd next Thursday if not sold. All offers considered.
-
Well, my prediction was right. I loved the Clio and am tempted to part-ex the vRS. Any offers??
-
Thanks, appreciate that. I'm sure I'll regret selling it.
-
Open to decent offers on this. I'm test driving a Clio 200 tomorrow and I know I'm going to love it.

For Sale is my 2009 Skoda Octavia vRS estate 2.0 Tsi petrol in silver. I have owned this car since new, having bought the car on 22nd Sep 2009. It is currently sat at 49350, this will go up slightly on a weekly basis. The car come with a full service history, paperwork for the work carried out below and two keys. The car was originally specified with rear parking sensors, maxi dot display, cruise control and an ipod connection in the glovebox. From new, the car has been looked after by a very trusted mechanic in the VAG circle. The company is called Volkscraft and is based in Exeter, Devon. I wouldn’t take the car anywhere else. It has been serviced, MOT’d and all modifications carried out by them. The car has never had normal unleaded in it and only run on V-Power/Nitro. Feel free to contact 'Matt' at Volkscraft, he knows the car very well indeed. It is in excellent condition inside and out with just a few minor marks, but has never seen a sponge and the paintwork has no swirl marks. The inside has never been smoked in and has never seen a pet. There are some age related marks here and there. A few stone chips and a light scratch on the drivers door that my daughter very nicely did with her bike. The Wheels have a few marks and to be perfect could do with a refurb, the worst one being the front nearside. However, due to the darker colour, the marks aren't really noticeable until up close. The boot has had an Autoform protector in from day one so is unmarked on the carpet. It also has a full size spare wheel rather than a can of gunk (this was an option on purchase). As stated, There are some modifications to improve this already fantastic car, these are as follows: Engine/Transmission: Reno Technic stage 2 map ( on 100 ron setting) producing around 290 bhp and 350 lb/ft (not been rolling roaded, this figure is from a VW Scirocco with the exact same mods.) Full turbo back Milltek Stainless steel exhaust. Resonated (no drone) and with sports cat so no MOT issues. ITG Maxogen carbon fibre intake. (Brand new filter fitted a few thousand miles ago) Bottom engine mount uprated. Audi TTRS short shifter. Sachs Organic Clutch to cope with the extra power/torque. Suspension: Eibach lowering suspension springs (lowers cars by only 20mm). Whiteline rear anti roll bar. Whiteline anti lift kit. Brakes: R32 front and rear callipers, powder coated red and with a Golf ‘R’ pad retainer. New discs/ pads. brake lines and fluid. Misc: Wheels professionally referred in anthracite and all wearing Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2’s (fronts on 3mm) 15mm rear hub centric spacers. Window tints from ‘B’ pilar back. Removable Westfalia towbar with fold down electrics that are fully coded with the rear sensors (totally invisible when not attached to the car and no cuts to bumper etc, was a factory option) Perhaps the most important modification of all is that this engine has been updated with the 4th and newest iteration of the Cam Chain tensioner. In 2014, my chain tensioner failed and initially I thought the engine had been ruined. I spent 10 months fighting Skoda Uk with a solicitor trying to get a new engine, this I subsequently lost. After that, the engine was full checked over and although the chain had slipped, it had only moved fractionally and there was zero damage to the pistons and valves. I was one of the few lucky ones. The chain was replaced with the newest version and the car started immediately, it drives absolutely perfectly. It has recently had a new MAF sensor fitted and the car was fully serviced yesterday including the injectors and MOT'd as well. As you can see, I have spent a small fortune turning the car into something much more special. It goes, handles and stops way way better than a standard car, and yet it hasn’t lost any of the practicability or ease of use. Its still just as sedate and easy to drive in town as a standard car and will easily produce 40mpg on a run. For those interested in the performance figures, it will now do 0-100 mph in under 13 seconds as compared to nearly 18 seconds in a standard car. I’ve owned Type R’s, Sti’s, Renaultsports, Gti’s etc etc and this Octavia has easily been the best overall car I’ve owned. I’m probably going to regret selling it, but want something a little more track focused I believe that considering the condition, mileage, and amount spent on modifications, the price is more than fair and the car is worth every penny, however, I am open to sensible offers. Please note, that the car was signed over into my wifes name a few years ago, so although I have always been the owner, the V5 technically shows 1 former keeper (myself). The other point to note is the service history, all though it is full, there is a gap between 2014 and 2015 where it spent nearly a year of the road. This was due to me fighting a lengthy legal battle with Skoda Uk as detailed above. Mileage wise, its had all the correct services. If required I can put on the exact dates and mileage. I am asking £8950 Thanks for looking and feel free to contact me on 07595039216 and ask for Nick. Below are some pictures and a youtube video I uploaded from one of the Briskoda Castle Combe sessions. https://youtu.be/cfI6voKvjug

Will these fit my FL with Neptunes
Nobafett replied to VRSerious's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk II (2004 - 2013)
I used a grinder on my calipers before painting, only had to remove a little before they fit fine. Initially, with part worn pads they were OK, I noticed the issue when I fitted brand new ones.
