Moley RUFC

Lol 4 years later...... hey I’m still about though although not in my lovely vRS. For what it’s worth the ride was no issue at all. I did around 35k a year for 2 years and enjoyed every yard. I moved on from my vRS and have a Giulia now and treated myself to a little Sunday runabout too. Really enjoyed my Octavia ownership though, great cars

I shall be going. Free ice cream is enough for me!

Good choice, looks lovely. Regards the ride I found mine transformed with a set of Eibachs not to mention the '4x4' look on standard springs.

I disagree Airbourne. The mk2 vRS petrol's ran 312mm discs and given then had 200bhp and weighed more than the new generation I don't think the discs require being any bigger on the new diesel version. Regards the diesel being a proper performance model again I disagree. Luke warm maybe but the figures hardly add up to tarmac melting performance. Skoda will say they are fit for purpose and that can't be argued with imho.

My last two cars (both vRS) had Eibach's fitted with stock dampers. First one covered 108,000 with no issues and I'm on nearly 40k with the current vRS with no issues.

Springs are black and yes the dampers are doing ok

Hi the correct Eibach spring code for the vRS diesel estate is E10-79-010-02-22. I set out to make mine the same as the press pics vRS which sold me the car in the first place not the 4x4 look that the standard car can with. Standard Car Press car My car with springs fitted

Yep. Pro kit

Still prefer mine debadged

Here is my vRS with Pro Kit drop I believe code number - E10-79-010-02-22Before After

Looking good! Did you order the vRS 230 black exhaust tips in the end?

Eibachs for me Before After

Have to agree, mine rides so much better on the Eibachs than standard

Still the best colour (IMHO)

What did you use for the silencer painting and how did you do it? Did you paint the the pipe tips of the exhaust too?

Thanks Joe. The 'black tips' are standard on the new vRS 230. I think that would look nicer than the chrome tips with this diffuser.

Looks great Joe. Have you got some more detailed shots of the diffuser? Fancy this with some of the new black tips from the vRS 230

Slight thread revival here but perhaps the new vRS 230 exhaust tips are an option for those who dislike the chrome finish especially on a black pack car (like me). http://www.skoda-auto.com/en/models/octavia-rs-230/ I also think these would go nice with the black diffuser fitted by a few people recently

Much prefer mine like that

I would suggest they are faulty. I am the odd one out in the office car park surrounded by Audi's, Mercs and BMW's. The vRS lights are far superior to any of the aforementioned cars including a new '15' pair of M3's. Faulty bulbs I would suggest.

I would say so. I suspect a visit to the garage that setup the TV advert vRS that also seemed to ride lower and with a wider offset on the rear wheels. Mine is dropped of Eibachs and is the same height I would guess

Couldn't agree more. Coming from a mk2 vRS hatch I think the the mk3 has the combi nailed whereas the hatchback looks a little plain dare I say.

Mine on dealer fitted Eibachs at Simpson Skoda

I did jet wash it on the way to meet up but close up it has a second skin of grime. Had I have posted a pic pre the jet you would have asked how much it was to get the Xtremes and calipers painted black! I think the race blue does carry grime betyer than most colours. Side question, does anyone else think the vRS gets through washer fluid quickly? Not sure whether it's due to the headlight washers being used too but mine seems to drink it up.

Good to see a fellow Briskodian today to catch up. Both cars are lowered on Eibachs and look the business even if mine does need a proper good clean
