Brill, thanks

Thanks both, I'll take a look. I'm still fuming. Not even sure how I did it! First time I've bumped a car in 10 years, and it had to be my 4 week old one.

unfortunately that's not the one. The VRS has a long strip that runs the length of the bumper (but I think is made of three parts). I've tried a few online parts catalogues, and can identify the parts, but there is no part number listed. (See 30 + 31 on here: http://www.teilekatalog24.info/skoda/Images/Bilder/753/753807550.png ) Edit: see extract from workshop manual. Only problem is I can't work out how to find the part number!

I can see the rear light on superskoda, so that's fine. I'm hoping the bumper itself can be repaired, but I'm not having much luck finding a part number/supplier for the reflector strip. Any ideas? Superskoda only seem to stock the non-vrs version. Thanks

I won't go into details as I'm still annoyed, but it looks like I need to repair/replace my rear bumper/reflector and nsr led light. I've tried a few of the Skoda parts websites, but can't seem to find much for a MK3. Can anyone help with part numbers for a VRS Saloon? Or an idea of how much it might cost for a new rear bumper?! Thanks

Managed to get a sneak peek at my new car. Hopefully picking it up this week!

I had the same thing. Tried searching the Skoda UK website for used stock, and found that my local dealer apparently had a TSI DSG Hatch in stock, along with a TDI in Rallye Green. (I'd not long ordered a new green tsi hatch). As I hadn't (and still haven't!) driven the tsi, nor seen a rallye green in the flesh, I was going to pop down to have a look. Spoke to the dealer, and he wasn't sure what I was talking about, and didn't have them in stock (despite the skoda website saying so).

I didn't get much information from my dealer, so just phoned Skoda customer services. If you have an order number they can look it up easily enough, or otherwise they managed to find mine manually eventually. They've got a department that deal with the orders, so should be able to give you an update.

Picking mine up on Monday Ordered 8th November, and it arrived at the dealer earlier this week. I'm working away this week, so can't get to the dealer until Saturday to sort the paperwork etc. Looking forward now! Rallye green TSI DSG Hatch. Pics to follow next week.

Just had a call to say mine has arrived Annoyingly, I organised to work away this week, so I won't be able to pop in to sort the paperwork until Saturday. As mine is a lease, is there any reason why I can't sort the paperwork and pick it up on the same day?

Ah ok cool. I sent my dealer an email earlier, and he said he would take a look at the report and try and sort dates out. Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long

8th November I think, so pretty good going bearing in mind there was a two week shutdown for Christmas. Original estimate was 12 weeks, but potentially longer with the Christmas break. Looks like their end of January estimate was pretty realistic after all!

Just spoken to Skoda, and my car arrived in the UK on the 16th. How long does it usually take for it to arrive at the dealer and go through PDI's etc? (I'm not sure which port it's at, but my dealer is based in Cardiff). Can't wait now! Rallye Green TSI DSG Hatch with black pack :love:

I've managed to speak to Skoda (as my dealer hasn't replied yet). Car is going in to build tomorrow, with delivery expected early Feb (or late Jan). Ordered 8th November, so should be 3 months start to finish

Fingers crossed. Mines a tsi hatch, so should be similar to yours. Not heard back from the dealer yet, so I'm guessing this month may be ambitious.
