Quite impressed with my dealer when I picked mine up earlier today. I originally ordered brilliant silver and then had a change of heart and changed to anthracite and added silver roof rails. Instead of change all the figures on the original finance he just decided to give me the roof bar upgrade for free! I had already blagged free heated seats when I placed the order, and that's on top of the various discounts. Also I ordered a space saver spare wheel and after a while wished I'd ordered a full size one instead, but didn't try and do anything about it. However when he opened the boot to show me what's what there was a full size spare instead of the skinny I'd ordered. Well chuffed :-)

Collected VRS this afternoon, well chuffed & excellent to drive, pics to follow when weather improves.

Was the full size spare in the vRS?? I've just been told the vRS only comes with the space saver when I ordered the full size?

Got my FL vRS on Friday also expecting a spacesaver spare, delighted to see full size spare (I think it's a 16") .... only £50 !

Interesting - so even thought I've ordered full size and we're being told that you can only have the space saver with the vRS, they're being delivered with a full size spare (albeit 16") :wonder:

just checked ... definitely 205/55 R16 tyre by 'Foranza'??!!

I think thats just what Skoda call the spacesaver

its a 16 inch steel wheel with a larger profile tyre on it to give it the same diameter of the 18 incher with a low profile on it...its not a skinny wheel (as I had in my focus)

I suspect the spare wheel storage wont take a full size 18 inch wheel because its not deep enough which is why the spare is only a 205

The 18" wheel wont fit in the wheel well.

Its a type of spacesaver they use

Pop a few quid on the lottery this week you lucky git!

Yes it's a vRS and it looked pretty full size to me, although I've not taken it out and had a proper look, but judging by the other posts here it looks like the "spacesaver" is not a skinny wheel after all but virtually full size, which I'm guessing is what I have been given.

If your car runs 205/55 R16 tyres then the spare will be exactly the same, a wider tyre tread won't fit right. My 05 Elegance came with 5 alloys as the tyres are all this size...
