Can't make this one, working till late unfortunately. Missing the weather, food and drink!!! :(

[The Fabia vRS Review and Photo thread]

Very nice car I do like the colour very cool

me too , liking the colour Dave

Lovely looking car and that colour.. I was like blue or green?! but now out of all the colours including the mean looking all black combo, that in my favourite right there!

Thanks for the comments folks, I do like it. Was thinking of getting the roof vinyled gloss black too.... But that money would be better spent on performance upgrade. Also like some other comments on this forum, my 0-60 is definitely quicker that 7.4 (under 7.0 at least).

I failed last time I tried this... Now some edited pics...

Makes me smile everyday

[North West Meet Sunday 2nd June]

Nice to meet all you folks this evening, got a few ideas and some valuable info. Looking forward to the next meet.

Cheers.

Dave.

[North West Meet Sunday 2nd June]

I'm there! Early for a bit of food. It's sunny and quite busy.

[North West Meet Sunday 2nd June]

I'm definatley coming to this one. New to meet a few faces prior to the national meet.

Also need to put some miles on the Furby, ha ha.

[What is this?]

Solution!!! stick something temporary over it, drive around for a week. No ill effects then stick yer GoPro to it.....simples I'm technically minded that way!!!

I like it. I like it a lot. I'd say I was technically minded but beer got in the way this evening. Lol.

Thanks.

[What is this?]

Its actually nothing just part of the dash. All Fabia MK2s are the...

and no solar sensor

Noted thanks.

[What is this?]

As above, its the sun sensor for the CC. It detects out when the sun is shining on the car and ups the blower / lowers the temperature to keep the car cool.

Interesting, I shouldn't cover that with a camera then. Lol.

Thanks for the replies.

Cheers.

[What is this?]

The fact its not mentioned in the manual shouldn't be surprising.

Ha ha.

So any ideas anyone?

[What is this?]

Do you have climate control?

If so it could be the sunlight sensor for that.

I do have climate control yes. There's nothing in the manual about it though.

No auto lights though.

[What is this?]

But it does look like something.......

If it's nothing that looks like something, why is it there?

[What is this?]

Folks, what is this in the pic? A fixing plate for sat nav / dash cam or a sensor... or something else?

I want to stick my GoPro cam to it!

Cheers.

Collecting my Vrs on Friday 31st, 11.00AM.

A day short of 9 weeks since order. Impressed and very excited. Pics to follow, in the correct forum ofcourse.

[Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System]

Spoke with dealer today and he told me my car is built! It's on their accounts! Which means...

Further call from the dealer... The car is in this country (didn't say where but I do wonder), he said it should be ready next week. So, ordered on 31st March, build week 19 (2nd week in May) and delivered by end of May. Eibach springs are going on it too. Now the sleepless nights begin.

Missed a call from my dealership today...

Spoke with dealer today and he told me my car is built! It's on their accounts! Which means it will be with them this month :)That means that my Steel grey Vrs hatch, with black alloys, cruise, climate, heated f/seats, arm rest, rear parking sensors and headlight washers will be a 9 week car from order to delivery!Thanksfully a good month faster than I dreaded.I just hope everything goes smoothly now!

[Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System]

Missed a call from my dealership today... Build week was last week (19), I have a feeling it's going to be bad news. He didn't sound very excited for me on the voice mail I got. :S

Fingers crossed eh!

[RS8 Alloys]

This all started becauce my wife borrowed the car and kerbed the rear passenger alloy...

Sorry couldn't help myself.

[Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System]

The option of Eibachs ....

I obviously know what Eibachs are but what is on offer? A lowered spring or a direct replacement for the OEM part?

Cheers, Dave.

[Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System]

5 weeks after it gets built sounds a long time?

I thought that but didn't question it at that time. I will though, especially after someones previous comment that it only takes a day to build the car!!!?

[Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System]

Fabia Vrs ordered on 30th March 2013...

*** UPDATE ***

Spoke with dealer yesterday and he said provisional build date of week 19 (early May). Delivery 4-5 weeks after that.

It's an improvement on the 14-16 weeks initially quoted... I hope it goes as well as it sounds.

[Pleased with what i've found]

Try having a black car!

Exactly why I ordered grey! Lol

[Order Times, Build Times, Delays, The Skoda Black Hole Ordering System]

Fabia Vrs ordered on 30th March 2013, after a week I was told the order had been accepted but haven't heard anything since. No reply to my first e-mail back to the sales bloke, so just sent a second to chase things up.

Some good news soon I hope. Warrington dealership, I was told 14-16 weeks for delivery. I'm hoping for something more like the above 8 weeks but I'm just not that lucky. Fingers crossed for anything before 16 weeks I suppose.
