New VRS Headlight washers
B B Burrows esq replied to ian carville's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Picked up mine on Sat 14th Dec and both washer jets stick out about 2mm at the top of the cover but are flush at the bottom. I'm a bit concerned that I am going to lose a cover at some point. -
So what do we think of Rio Red Vrs

This could be the deal breaker Skovirg, but is the C5 a TDi? -

As was I. Sorry I was being ironic. It may be a concept you may not have understood. Hence me adding the lol. I also see you live up to the anagram in your username. Lol -

And a white diesel is so rock and roll. Lol ;-) -
Why would you declare factory fitted options? Surely the only thing that matters is the value of the car. The insurance are only interested in modifications outside of the manufacturers safety tested equipment. However seeing as 50% of the options are safety related do you think they would give a discount? I think not.

Here's my Rio Red vRS TSi. It looks great, I don't know why everyone is doubting the colour on the vRS. It looks mean with the black pack.

Hi Matt Pez. I love the sunroof too. Its huge, well not huge but I would guess 32.623% (a rough estimate) bigger than the one I had on my Mk2. I also like the sound generator, but it is good to have the option to turn it off. However it doesn't have the legendary VRS button, only 'mode' which is disappointing. attachment=46543:DSCF4091.jpg] -

I don't think its orange. I have a Chilli Orange Ltd Ed Corsa and it is a deeper red than that (I will post a picture of them side by side soon for comparison). I also think that it will look different again in full sun (if ever we get any). I am glad I took a chance and went for this over the other colours. It looks the business in the flesh, very subtle. -

Here is a quick snap of my new Rio Red arrival. Its sitting a bit high as its still on transport blocks and its under the non flattering lights in the workshop. But I think it looks really mean with the black pack, blackish wheels and sunroof. There was also a Corrida Red in the workshop without the black pack and sunroof and it looked a bit bland in my opinion. (but I would say that wouldn't I). I think the black pack is a must for all vRS's P.S Picking up on Saturday. I will post more pictures in the day light. Cheers -
Hello, has anybody out in Briskoda land got my old Yellow mk 1 vRS DX53KSK? I had 110,000 miles in her from new over nearly 9 years with only a water pump and a few coil changes. Running her for a while along side a mk2 FL vRS that I didn't really take to quite so much. If you have her give her a pat from me!
