Finally took the plunge and placed an order, couldn't wait any longer as the Mondeo I am driving is slowly dying.

Car is an Octavia II vRS FL CRD Hatch

Brilliant Silver Metallic

Curtain Airbags

Heated Seats

Rear Sunblind

Maxi-dot

Front & Rear Parking Sensors

Light Assistant etc

Xenons with AFS II

vRS Pack

Spare Wheel

Also ordered mud flaps & rear sun shades.

I am slightly disappointed about not being able to order it with Bluetooth & MFSW but I will retro-fit this as I did with my last VW. Hopefully it will be ready for collection early September on a 59 plate.

I am very happy with the deal I got using the scrappage scheme, thanks Ant (Hobin Skoda Manchester).

And a big thanks to everyone on here for all the help and advise which enabled me to make my choice.

Roll on September..........

My new Silver vRS FL hatch pics

Could you please shed some light on how the curtain airbags are marked?

Oval 'Airbag' marker on just the A pillar or also B & C?

Thanks

I had a quick look the other day when I read about this on another thread. There are only markers on the A pillars.

Many thanks. From that it would appear that we've all either got curtain airbags fitted or been ripped off!

Seems strange to only mark the A pillar and, like others, I thought there was a safety requirement to mark all locations in order to reduce the risk of accidental detonation whilst working on the car.

Skoda UK have emailed the 'relevant people' with regard to marking and positioning of the curtain airbags and say they will get back to me when they have an answer.
