Herewith attached photy's of my Octy VRS TDI CR DSG.

After driving around in a Vauxhall Insignia Diesel for five weeks, a new car from ground up, I realised what an awesome piece of kit the Octavia is. The Vauxhall is simply SHYTE. It can't hold a candle to the Skoda. My old car was the Petrol VRS, I thought I was making a mistake after driving around in the tractor like rattletrap Vauxhall diesel. The CR engine is a gem, only a barely discernable growl tells you it's an oil burner on tickover.

In short I'm kiddy as a kipper over my new motor. I also had worries over the fact that the new model was due, and the petrol is really hard to come by now. It made me think that the diesel was a poor relative. My worries were entirely unfounded. After PM's from a couple of guys on here, I took the plunge. I have to say it's a very special car.

Tonight I had a spin up to the moors above Harrogate overlooking RAF Menwith Hill and took some shots.

Very nice, considering a white one for my next car if I choose another Vrs.

The paint finish seems to be a lot smoother on the white, compared to my old race blue one.

Wait till Baker gets his hands on it later this month, it will gleam like a gem:D

Nice

I volunteer you to be the first white colour coded grille pioneer.

Best car you'll ever have

Nice babe!!

White looks great.....well wear

Tha looks awesome , and more calendar-worthy pics too!

Beautiful, I'm really tempted by white on my next one

Congrats on the new car!

Have to say you made the best possible choice! My opinion has nothing to do with the fact that I have a candy white octavia vRS 2.0 TDI CR DSG hatch with a load of extras as well...

Looks great, and slightly familiar

I would stay away from the colour coded grill on white, I don't think it would look great so i have decided against it.

i was going to suggest white grill too, but i think silver does actually look better on it. but now im thinking about black how that would look???

Like this I'd expect http://briskoda.net/octavia-ii/my-new-vrs-estate/140772/

I colour coded my grill surround on my black vRS as I knew it would suit the car. If I'm honest it's the only colour I think it really works on so personally wouldn't bother with it on a different colour car. Each to their own though.

Welcome to the vRS CR DSG fold - you won't regret it - I can't believe it's a diesel most of the time either

Cheers for the comments folks. I bought it from Simpsons in Colne. Sorry Ants!

Andrew, the salesman there kept it for me whilst my beloved petrol vrs was being fixed by Pulleyn's in York.

I thought I might lose out in the end. It took six weeks to fix. So all in all I'm happy that Pulleyn's did a cracking repair and Simpson's waited.

The DSG box is a marvel. I have had a couple of 'brown pants' moments setting off from roundabouts when nothing seems to happen :eek: when I put my foot down. I tend to leave it in normal, as sport seems like the engine is going to fly out of the bonnet.

I think my driving style has become a little less frenetic since I bought this car, it really is a lovely car to drive. I really cannot stress enough, how superior the diesel engine is to the piece of rattly rubbish neith the bonnet of the Vauxhall Insignia. This is a car that has won car of the year as well!! Looks great, but no substance. If this is Vauxhall's last throw of the dice, then I'm afraid GM are f00£ed.

Cracking photos.

Glad we got you sorted out one way or another!
