Hey everyone! After a 18 month absense from Briskoda i'm back. Was the owner of a Fabia VRS SE for a couple of years but traded that for a Scirocco 1.4tsi 18 months ago.

Done a deal on a new Octavia VRS CR today - candy white, zenons, maxidot, MDI, full size spare, light assist and eibach springs. As much as i love the look of the scirocco, I wanted to go back to a diesel and needed something a bit bigger plus I have had a few issues with the Scirocco engine recently. Don't know when i'll see the car but won't be til January at the earliest which suits me as i'd rather it was registered in 2011. Price is fixed as i ordered before the end of September regardless of VAT increase.

Got a few questions which I would appreciate if someone could answer. I know the answers are probably somewhere on here already but i'm lazy and some of the info I have seen seems contradictory.

1. Does the VRS come with mats from the factory and do they have the VRS logo? I know my fabia vrs did. The salesman didn't seem to think so and they were added to my order as a factory option at £46.

2. Is it correct only the front octavia mudflaps will fit correctly, without modification / heat? I will ask the dealer to supply and fit the front mudflaps if it turns out mats should be supplied free with the car.

3. What is the offset of the standard 18s? I am planning to put my 19s from my Scirocco on it which are OEM audi a4 BBS alloys with a 43 offset and 8.5" wide.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to being a Skoda driver again!

Mine came with front and rear mats ,but no vrs logo on them

From previous threads, yes the front flaps fit okay rears need some adjustment

3. What is the offset of the standard 18s? I am planning to put my 19s from my Scirocco on it which are OEM audi a4 BBS alloys with a 43 offset and 8.5" wide.

Cant help you with this one, altho no doubt somebody will know.

Welcome to Briskoda

My MY2011 CR vRS also came with mats front and rear, but they do not have a logo.

Good choice of colour!

Thanks guys. I assume neither of you had mats on your order so appears they are standard on a VRS? I'll phone the dealers on monday and get them removed from the order and front mudflaps added in their place.

Found the info I require about wheel offsets. Looks like my Audi wheels will be a perfect fit :-)

3. What is the offset of the standard 18s? I am planning to put my 19s from my Scirocco on it which are OEM audi a4 BBS alloys with a 43 offset and 8.5" wide.

IIRC they are ET54.

Which means your wheels will stick out another 17mm , not sure if that will be too much.

There's only one way to find out! :-) Should look good providing they don't stick out beyond the arches hence making them illegal.

18" Zeniths were ET51 - not sure if that's different to the facelift wheels
