VRS225

Thanks for your advice. I have actually done some shopping around and found a Milltek system for around the same price as the custom I was going to have. With this in mind, I am now going to have a Milltek fitted instead. As you said, would be a shame not to fit a quality product and spoil the car.

It is actually just a simple digital clock. My mate who previously owned it, fitted it as it was easier to see the time than reading the clock under the dials. Especially if you like having the mpg reading, etc instead. The headunit was fitted by my mate also. It is the Sony MEX-BT5000. It's not a bad unit. It's getting used to the controls that takes time. Wouldn't have been my choice of unit, but I had it with the car, so can't complain. The main things I happy with, for the time being, is able to play MP3's and use the bluetooth for my mobile. I am considering changing it with something that has built-in DAB also.

I'll keep my eye out for you.

Hi. I am a happy owner of my first Skoda. It's a shiny silver 03 plate vRS 1.8T. It was originally modified as a show car from new, with majority of the modifications being in the engine bay. Since then, a work colleague bought it and got it remapped and replaced the headunit. After 18 months of ownership, he sold it to me. I couldn't pass the offer as it was a great bargain. It is now currently running at 225bhp. For my first project on this car, next week I am getting a custom cat-back exhaust with de-cat pipe fitted. I have read on here that a turbo-back exhaust will give much more performance. If anyone knows what performance difference is between these, can you please let me know so I can see if it will be cost-effective or not to go turbo-back. Here is the spec and some pics of my vRS. Hope you like it. :thumbdwn: Tints all round Kicker bass box and separate Alpine Amp Sony bluetooth enabled head unit Upgraded speakers Gas strut bonnet lifters (rare!)

Not far away from me then. What do you drive?

Hi all on Briskoda from your newest member. I'm from Halesowen in the West Midlands. I am now a happy owner of my first Skoda, an Octavia vRS. It's an 03 plate and had only 2 owners. The first owner bought from new and modified it as a showcar. My workmate then owned it and carried on the tradition of the tuner scene. Now I'm the lucky owner of it. I will get some pics posted on here.
