I've just ordered a new FL VRS TFSI Estate to replace my current 06reg. I've specced leather seats as those in the brochure look great, however I've come accross these pictures of leather seats in a 58reg VRS which I'm not so keen on, http://briskoda.net/octavia-ii/vrs-le/151515/ (don't like the green stitching or red stripe). I've just contacted a dealer who says the new seats are black with black stitching and black logo, but has anyone seen these in the flesh in a FL VRS or does anyone have a FL VRS with leather and can confirm which seats it now comes with?

RS ?koda Auto - The new ?koda Octavia Combi -

This link shows them a bit clearer not great though. I have seen a better piccy somewhere and a description but cant remember where!! I have ordered them too.

The link is to the LE model, limited edition model.

Hopefully our seats will be plain and black. i have just ordered a white petrol hatch, due late sept, with these.

Im sure you will love it anyway....

I recently emailed the factory about the leather seats. No pictures other than the one above but got the following information about what they're made of (I assume feinnappa is nappa leather):

Seat bottom centre - Feinnappa leather

Seat bottom inner sides - Vachette leather

Seat bottom outer sides - artificial leather

Backrest - centre - Feinnappa leather

Backrest - inner sides - Vachette leather

Backrest - outer sides and back - artificial leather

Headrest - artificial leather

Apparently the feinnappa leather is the same as used in the Superb.

Feinnappa is simply "fine nappa leather" - ie good quality soft non-analine - but, as you say, same as Superb

They look nice

sorry to dig up an old thread but I noticed on superskoda they had larger shot of a staffers new car

they do look nice and I'm glad I ticked the box!

it looks like the centre panels are slightly textured or perforated.

new stereo and climate controls look classy as well

man, october seems a long way off.

Thanks for that FTM, thats exactly what I wanted to see. Now I just need an engine pic to confirm the FL VRS has the new TSI engine from the Scirroco rather than the FSI engine,
