Do they have different size wheels front/rear? - plenty with different sized tyres front/rear though. In this case the front and rear have the same circumference (or "rolling radius"), so a spare wheel can be used either end. A lot of cars with chocolate button space savers which are a different size again to the wheels/tyres on the rest of the car. Indeed, just look close to home, with the vRS "full size" spare - that actually isn't. It is a 15" wheel and tyre set-up - with a tyre that isn't even the same MAKE as those on the rest of the car! The BMW 5 series (E60/61) - the first one to have runflat tyres, but still had a spare wheel well. It came with any number of wheel size options from 16" to 19", but there was only one spare wheel for the whole range - a 17" chocolate button one. Call me old fashioned if you like, but a spare wheel is a must for me. Mike

I'll see what the Dealer comes back with. I would have expected that when it says in the Fabia brochure that front fogs are standard, then it would have them fitted. Perhaps a little naiive of me to think that what is written in the brochure may actually be true From your picture George, my lights seem to be a bit different - the blue bulb is central to the non-lens on the inside - yours seems to be up to one side, but maybe its the camera angle.

Picked up the new vRS last night - so far SWMBO seems pleased with it. Questions that may have been answered before: Fog lights. In the brochure, it says that front fog lights are standard on the vRS. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be the case on our car - there's no switch, and indeed no fog lights, as they are the DRL's. Dealership salesmen are scratching thier collective heads about this one, and are calling Skoda about it. Blue lights. I know that the vRS headlights are different to the rest. They have projector lights, but there are also what look like blue bulbs inboard of the headlights too. Anyone know what these are for? Anyone know how you turn them on? Thanks Mike

And it's here - or it was! She's filled it up with petrol and she's away with it. I expect she'll be back when it's empty!!

But maybe first week in June after all. Got a call yesterday to say car had arrived at Dealership. Needs PDI but hoping to pick it up thursday if it's ready SWMBO is excited!

Don't want to take the shine off the Ibiza, but the ride on 17's is utter, utter garbage, particularly on urban roads. Just sold ours - for a smooth riding vRS!!

So much for the first week in June Latest from $tealer is week beginning 10th June. Ho Hum

Got an e-mail from the $tealers this afternoon: Build week 20 Delivery 1st week June Still Hopeful?!?!?

I have a white car. A pig to keep looking clean. For a Monte? Yellow all the way. Stunning looking.

Ordered mid-February. Delivery approx 12 weeks Skoda Factory "accepted" the order 3rd March. According to the dealer, no build week yet - will update us towards the end of the month, but says delivery in May. Hopeful?!?!?

The wife tested a new 125bhp Fiesta S Ecoboost, just after testing a 105bhp Monte. She preferred the Monte dynamically. She said it was (seat of the pants dyno) sluggish compared to the Monte. Hence the vRS order, rather than one of Henry's. Don't really know how I got to order the vRS instead of the Monte. Mike

I can always get another wife (why!?!?!??) I can always have more kids (if I had the surgery reversed). Again, why?!?!?!? I can get another car, or bike Getting another mutt like mine? Impossible

Am I the only one out of step here?? My dog, of course

Try Chris at CMWheels or Mark at BMAutosport. They have both been very helpful to me on the search for wheels on another car. I'll be going down to 16's for next winter Mike
