VRS2012Blue

Definitely red! Nice contrast and goes with the calipers! Paul

Well here a my tints. Very happy with how they look. Maybe not the best pictures but get the idea hopefully. Paul

Thanks. Just on the way to collect it after getting some tints added. Yes you will be right. Great dealer to do business with. Paul

This may or may not help. I have the Metal Grey with the black pack but it's an estate. There is also a Metal Grey thread somewhere in this section. Hope that helps. Paul

How much is the sunset glass - £140? I am getting mine done tomorrow for £160 by a local tinting place (Moray Tints - highly recommended!) as when I saw the sunset glass in the showroom it wasn't dark enough. At the end of the day it is down to personal preference. I am getting mine done to keep the car cooler for the dog and also becuase I think it will look the dogs b******* on my Metal Grey estate with black pack! Thinking out loud though.....if they come as factory fit then insurance will not need to be changed as it is standard fit however if being done aftermarket then it should be declared and a likely increase in your premium occurs...how does having it fitted at the factory or by an aftermarket company affect whther your premium should be increased? Paul

My Metal Grey estate arrived in less than 12 weeks. Ordered 1st July and picked up 20th September. Loving it! To be honest I was toying over the Metal or Meteor greys but having seen the Meteor in the flesh I decided against it and plumped for the Metal. I think the Metal Grey goes better with the alloys. Just my opinion and to be honest the Meteor Grey is growing on me.... Paul

There are a few options with one or two being mentioned (ebay, superskoda). I have bought some mats, flaps and the rubber boot liner from http://www.theskodashop.co.uk/. You can get flaps for about 13euros from http://www.skodapartsireland.ie/ but I can't see stock for Octavia front flaps currently. Postage does bump it all up though. Hope that helps. Paul

Thought I would add mine to the mix. This was it on the day of collection. Paul

Sat waiting for my finance to go through. Just wanna get in it and drive it! Paul

Sorry to potentially rub it in but confirmed a Saturday pick-up for my vRS estate! Think I worked it out as a 12-13 week process from ordering to delivery. When I originally ordered I was told to expect a January delivery latest. Paul

In my case it has been 12 weeks. Ordered 1st July and called the dealer today to be told that it will hopefully be delivered tomorrow (fingers crossed!!). I order a VRS Tdi Estate in Grey Grey with Black Pack, Pano sunroof, red stitching and spare wheel. Hoping I get the call from the dealer tomorrow telling me its in! Paul

A nice spec! As mentioned I have the sun roof and have also specced the spare, black pack and red interior. I feel it will look better against the grey exterior rather than the white. Also looks a bit sportier inside! I am adding my own version of a winter kit by buying mudflaps, rubber floor mats and a boot liner. I have a mad springer spaniel so plenty of muddy walks and found changing the floor mats over October to April potentially kept the carpet mats looking pristine! I will also get window tinting done third party like I have on my current vRS for the benefit of the dog during summer. Many thanks for the offer of photos. I am sure you will be posting plenty more if you manage to tear yourself out of the drivers seat! I have opted for the diesel this time around but know what a great petrol engine VAG produce from driving a couple the last 4 years (previous car was a 59 plate Cupra). Paul

Loving the metal grey. Looks a similar spec to mine; metal grey, sun roof. Has yours got the red interior? I couldn't tell. Makes me REALLY. Excited for mine. It was apparently BW36 which was last Monday that it was starting to get built! Paul

Looks good. As mentioned by a couple, not a big fan of the wheels but each to their own Out of interest, does anybody know what suspension/set-up they are using? Paul

Another one here for Rearguards having fitted one to my Mk vRS, saved a few scratches from the dog! Sorry if this has been answered, but where has FamousAfroJay bought his from? Is it from SuperSkoda/the one offered by Skoda? Paul

Ordered a vRS CR manual vrs estate in metal grey metallic with black pack, spare wheel and panoramic sun-roof. When ordered they originally told me I could be waiting until January but had a nice surprise today Paul

Just had a phone call from my dealer. Ordered the 1st July and been informed of a build week of 36 with delivery by end of September. Fingers crossed! Paul.

Hey needs must means I keep my alloys pristine though and besides, I don't think they look to bad. Have seen worse! Just change them yourself, I did using just the normally jack. Got Kwik fit to check the torque on the nuts a couple of days later for free. Paul.

Well as promised, here is my car with the trims fitted. Paul.

I have Dunlop WinterSport 4D on mine with a rating of 91H. HTH Paul

This will be their first winter. This is a set from Mr Winter Wheels with Dunlop 4d WinterSport (think that's the name). Paul

Haha I was just about to revive this topic myself. Even though I have just posted the same pic in another thread, here they are.... Got a set of Halfords hub caps to fit as I want to protect the wheel nuts. Also it pleases the wife as she is not a fan of the steelies! Paul

Fitted my brand new steelies and winters today. Did the man thing and didn't read the instructions. Had a quick look as I was about to throw them out when I realised that my tyres fitted on the wrong side! Cue having to fit my old rim to swap over the tyres and voila! Didn't have time to clean the Neptunes so will order some Iron-X and clean them shortly. Paul

Looking good Chris. Mine will be going on this weekend - if u get time. Organised a kids football tournament for Saturday. Temperature constantly below 7 here (well according to Accuweather RealFeel). Paul

Apologies didn't see at first you wanted tyres as well. I went for the 16" steelies with Dunlop WinterSport 4D. Cost £539 but Mr WinterWheels are offering a £50 Fuel Cashback at Tesco. I was better off going through Mr Winter Wheels as posting to Northern Scotland by mytyres was an extra £40!
