Colour you would like but can't have.
That is definitely green! If the Octavia came with Rallye green again or nicked the Superb Dragon I would have picked them (much to my partners displeasure). I kind of like the mamba green that @TheUltraRunner shared too. The orange I like the look of is this orange ST, Which kind of reminds me a little of solero lollies:

Delivery times?
I just had update from the dealer: build week 26 (end of June), ordered 16th Feb for a meteor grey vRS TSI estate, just with DCC. Quoted delay is due to the rona. I really like my current vRS and still have enough left of PCP without extending it probably, but will need to be patient for another month or two now!

GREEN! proper in yo face green, or maybe an orange

Heated Windshield
The wires are also quite fine, but you'd probably be able to tell as close up as your photo there. Might not have a heated windscreen

XDS, or EDL, or XDL+ electronic differential lock - is it supplied at all in the UK?
I've been doing the same guys. The 4x4 TDI guy keeps pulling away from the TSI guy, TSI guy shouts out in frustration a lot, TSI guy looks like he's been spending a long time lifting weights? What are we to watch now..?

Just purchased but I miss anti fog lamps
It is tricky @Alphonse777, as usually through the lifetime of a model being out the configurator may change several times. For example, I've just ordered a vRS and I know when it first came out that it had a heating steering wheel as (free) standard to the UK market, but when I ordered it last week I understand this is no longer a standard/free thing and is part of a cost option. I have this knowledge from this forum and a Facebook group, not the dealership (not bothered about hot steering wheels by the way). I understand your frustration @Alphonse777

Just placed an order after being swayed back
I'm not 100% sure, but does it depend on whether or not the factory has gone ahead and accepted your order and popped it in a planned work tray (so amendments might be tricky)? I had an email from Skoda today to say they have accepted my order (made 16/02/21) and for meteor grey, not black (have black now, very nice but hard to keep clean like all black cars).

Delivery times?
Ordered a vRS earlier this week (manual, only extra was DCC) and dealer suggested end of May or beginning of June. I guess there are a number of variables that affect manufacturing and delivery...hoping that everything can happen as quick as possible, but also expecting a long wait!

Radiator Blinds
Awesome link and find there, I now know what radiator flaps do!

Skoda Octavia Combi - LED Condense
I've had a MK3 and a MK3 FL, both have experienced small amounts of moisture in light units at times. I wouldn't worry about it

Delivery times
Initial chat with dealership suggested they had what I wanted in port (meteor grey vRS, manual with DCC only add on) but on finalising deal it has to be a factory order now (UK); with suggested lead time of 12/13 weeks. Roll on the summer months for more reasons! Looking at the order sheet, it looks like memory seats are no longer a thing for the vRS, but they keep the heated seat option.

Using voice search button to set navigation to postcode, and issues with android auto wireless,
I think it can use apple car play wireless, but for Android auto you need to use the wire; so I'd try the wire you say you have (if you haven't already)
