Perhaps it's a model spec'd by Simpsons (hence the "Simpsons Motorsport") with them backing the warranty with agreement of Skoda. Can't find any Skoda Motorsport model available from any other dealers on the Web and the info on the Simpsons site suggests that they have done the mods. Anyway, looks the business and enjoy when it arrives.

Is fitting Eibachs on O3 a dealer accessory Moley or at the discretion of the dealer Service Dept? Just playing around with a few options. Just wondering what real difference XDS makes if I drop the FF SS and fit Eibach's...

Very tidy Andrew, its a nice red, enjoy!

Do you have sports suspension on that Andrew? Cheers

+ 1 considering LW myself so pics would be useful please.

I've got 20% rear tints on my vRS Mk2 without sunset and it's dark to the point you can hardly see stuff on the back seat/boot. IMHO 20% plus sunset would be almost the Limo/Druggie 5% look.

Cheery thoughts Pips for one who can't stretch to a vRS and is about to order a 150 Elegance! Is it really that bad? I'm coming from a Mk2 vRS.

Daisy Duke has aged very well! I like the cheeky wink at the end!

My understanding is that Hawks can now be ordered seperately. The configerator and brochures have not been updated yet.

If it's the black sports pack you are after then it has been discontinued. Silver is still available. Hawks can be ordered as a stand alone option. I believe the configurator and brochures will be updated soon.

Well done for sticking with it and going as far as you can with SUK. A plainly ridiculous situation which will hopefully be resolved as a result of your efforts.

Mmmm...I get the feeling you don't like the sports style pack then Pips? Lol I wanted it for the spoiler and black mirror caps but have been given a separate price for these now the pack is not available.

Got your PM, not a text, is that what you mean?

For those thinking of this accessory or have already ordered it....it's now discontinued as of this morning. Silver is still available. No news as to why this is the case. Octavia black sport style pack not an option on Elegance trim.... 06 August 2014 Check and amend orders SK0802-14 The black sport style pack is no longer an option on the Octavia Elegance trim. Retailers must check orders, inform customers of the change in options and amend the affected orders in SLi. The brochure will be updated soon with the changes. The silver sport style pack is still available.

£175 inc VAT Moley, fitting and wheel alignment. £5 more expensive than 3 years ago!

That's a very good looking motor and nice pics. I think this model is a good compromise all round in terms of equipment, looks and price with a bit of exclusivity thrown in. Well done for biting the bullet and ordering without seeing one first. As I have said before, I think Skoda are missing a trick by not offering the add on's which can make the car your own.

I've been quoted £220 plus vat from a Skoda dealer for a hatch. £150 to £200 seems the going rate. HTH

Good plan, the vRS and Elegance (even with Sport Suspension) just ride too high. Skoda Redditch will charge you a fortune won't they? Never had a problem with my suspension on the Eibachs and I'm on 92k. You are right though, the warranty is a concern. Would be interested to know what Trust quote...With regards the spacers yeah, I had to ditch them but nobody else seemed to have a problem. On my experience I can't be bothered with them this time although I admit your motor looks good with spacers.

Do you have any pics from a higher position hravec please? Considering a black wrap roof myself on a Candy white, thanks

Now now, it just sounds wrong when you say it like that Moley! Btw going up to Midland VW this week whilst in the area to discuss Octy 3 springs. Saw in another thread you had problems with shocks on the Eibach set up?

Agreed, that's why I looked at the ST FR but can't make my mind up on the rear styling. The hatch is a better looking car IMHO but the boot is too small for my needs. Also I am mid forties so a bit old for the firmer Leon ride...and the local Tesco car park Doughnut Meet!

I have been looking at a Leon ST diesel 150 Olly and whilst I really like the modern look and equipment (the styling is superb) the badge is a bit of an issue...anal I know...but as a company car the Skoda seems a bit more serious. BTW I had a Leon Hatch FR about 6 years ago and loved it...had 3 kids since then though! Apologies to OP for hijacking thread.

Is that a sunroof or black wrap roof hravec?
