I think the balck looks quite good on the red irish car here, was thinking any future curbing would be easy to repair of even touch up if I could get the wheel compnay to provide a sample of the paint used

The plot thickens, the car is 6 months old, and just read a few people are having problems with these wheels with laquer flaking off and having wheels replaced, so perhaps I should leave it a while and see if I end up with one of my non curbed wheels getting warrantly replaced? Or even the curbed one flaking where it isnt curbed?

Car is Corrida red to note, may help you advise me to change the colour of them to all black

Hi had my first curbing, unavoidable, a piece of jagged concrete sticking out from the base of a gate post that wasn't visible. I was driving, always thought my wife would end up curbing them and eventually end up painting them as I don't quite like the Anthracite finish, I have the black design pack and thought all black wheels would look better. So my question is what are my options and what do you think? What have you done to your wheels? I suppose my options to consider are replace the one wheel (is it worth the cost, don't know this but imagine not cheap), find someone that can refurb it (I believe not easy but not impossible as laster etched?), I am in Chelmsford so any local recommendation appreciated, or colour change them all to all black, what black do you think, satin or gloss? I guess gloss is more practical, and I could probably get a sample of the paint for future touch-ups, again local recommendations appreciated in Essex around Chelmsford. Thanks all for your thoughts and advice/recommnedations.

red tdi hatch ordered last tuesday with sunset glass and black design pack, just before the price and spec increase which is a bonus

My dealer confirmed order is in and price will be honoured , lucky day to order then , now have the wait, wife pleased about getting cruise control also thrown in

My dealer confirmed my car locked at old price but will get 2015 car, lucky timing there, the base price seems to be getting quite high now

ordered a VRS TDI last Tuesday and got price locked just before price rise and spec increase, so waiting for a 2015 car at 2014 price, phew lucky timing

Thanks, I ordered my car Tuesday, was quoted the old prices, which from memory were still on their website, so I guess I am getting a 2015 car for 2014 money cool

Yes just spotted it price up to £575 from £450, cant find the black design pack which I also specced My order went in Tuesday at the old prices, looks like I played a good ball there

NEWS FLASH, Configurator down for "maintenance", prices and specs have changed, looks like cruise is going to be standard on VRS for 2015 build cars, also Laurin & Klement launching http://www.skoda.co.uk/models/new-octavia-vrs-hatch/equipment

Just noticed car configurator is down for "maintenance" and it lists cruise as standard equipment now for the VRS, worryingly Park assist is no longer listed, which I ordered on Tuesday on my VRS. http://www.skoda.co.uk/models/new-octavia-vrs-hatch/equipment

i assumed DOH

from my past experience with build dates constantly moving back and forth then disappearing altogether its seems pretty random to be honest

Nothing really, it's convenient date, my current car tax runs out on 31st and also from October 1st cars will no longer have a tax disc, I had shenanigans in 2010 with a simple SE, build dates kept changing etc...post floods in Czechoslovakia etc...it worked out well in the end though, we got £350 of accessories free and also some compensation for added running costs incurred and depreciation of my old car so they can take as long as they like What did you order?
