Wardy's Octavia vRS

[Wardy]

Bought a car today

2006 Octavia vRS 2.0TFSi in red. Very happy

I'm using a now familiar layout to my Member's Cars thread, so here goes...

The standard vRS spec, plus the following factory options:

• 18" Zeniths
  
• Jumbo Pack (Dual Zone climate, armrest, rear electric windows)
  
• Cruise control
  
• Maxidot
  
• PDC (rear parking sensors)

Then a few changes/upgrades in the following areas:

Exterior

• OEM front mudflaps
  
• Osram Diadem indicator bulbs all-round
  
• Philips X-Treme H7 dipped beam bulbs
  
• Osram Nightbreaker H1 main-beam bulbs

Interior

• Skoda boot net
  
• Skoda boot tray
  
• Dashmount bracket for TomTom, lower left-hand side of console, by climate controls
  
• Connects2 iPod control through existing Stream HU
  
• Richbrook metal taxdisc holder, in black
  
• Std front maplight bulbs replaced with Philips BlueVisions
  
• Briskoda rear window sticker!

Performance

• Pipercross panel filter (thanks for making that an easy swap VAG!)
  

Planned:

• Private plate to be transferred over, plus my Wolfsburg plate holders
  
• Stage 1 map, at some point
  
• Parrot MK9100 BT handsfree, with iPod control
  

Possible:

• Milltek exhaust
  
• Front grille colour coding
  
• Refurb of alloys, perhaps in anthracite
  
• HU upgrade - Columbus possible, but expensive (?) - Bolero looking good, but none 2nd hand as yet
  

More details to follow, plus pictures - of course!

Cheers,

Steve

Bought from a certain mail delivery person by any chance?

Edit: Just read a bye bye Octy thread written by said mail delivery person so I think my initial guess was good. I should be CID!

Not you as well! I've already had this through from another source

Can't wait to see the pics mate.

In response to the photo requests, will put some up, probably at the weekend.

Then I plan to do a full detail when I've got some time available next month - if the weather is decent....

Nice one Steve, a grown up car. Look forward to seeing it

[Tom_vRS]

Steve, my advice is get a Revo Stage 1 map on there, and do nothing else to the engine.

They look great when detailed apparently :P

Steve,

There is a poll allready running to find out what dates people want towards the middle of the year, it'll give you some time to fettle with it before hand.

[vRSLen]

Think about the fuel pump issue Steve...

[WaveyDavey]

Good to see you've stayed within the Skoda fold Steve.

Hope you enjoy the new motor and will look forward to seing it in the flesh at some point.

Cheers

Dave.
