[R i c h a r d]

They ARE now an option

[R i c h a r d]

Excellent, thanks. Doesn't appear on the website configurator or the brochure I have but hopefully the dealers will have the details.

The black alloys don't appear to have the silver rim like on other pics I've seen. :wonder:

Quick saturation and brightness tweak to see what it might look like in White...

Are the front splitter, side skirts and rear defuser all part of a single option with the grille and headlights?

Don't mind them, but the vRS has a different diffuser, with central exhaust.

All black....yum!

Is that the new Fabia Scout. It looks like an SUV / compact 4x4 with big wheels, high ground clearance, wheel arch extensions and off-road style bumper protectors.

No it doesn't. Side exhaust to left hand side and same splitter.

will do

Jay @ Palmers in Watford is kindly attempting to find out how much they are tomorrow, will share any news on here of course. There didn't seem to be anything obvious on the ordering system when he looked today.

Keep looking at the photos and can't decide if I like the splitter on the front.

I like the black arches, they reduce the gap between the wheels a little.

The side skirts appeal to me as they hide the anti-chip paint below the doors.

Just Guessing but they may find out more when 2012 model year cars hit the road/showroom.

Do keep us posted.

Thanks

Had a call back from Jay today, he's been advised by Skoda UK support that they're not available as factory options on the vRS but (the headlights at least) can be purchased as an accessory. :(

Spoken to my dealer today who didnt know anything about ordering from the factory as options.

He has got the parts department to price the grille and lights up for me - £450. Thinking about it seriously especially as I'd be able to flog the standard items on.

He also mentioned something about black trim on the arches and sides which together with the grille and lights would be around £1,500 to £1,600.

[R i c h a r d]

£450 sounds cheap for a pair of headlights and a grille to me, you sure they're not including your original parts as part-ex?

On the official website the parts listed on the Monte Carlo spec are:

•Black smoked halogen projector headlights with DE module

•Darkened chrome on top of radiator grille

[LeedsVRS]

Thats a good point actually. I just assumed I'd get to keep the original parts....

Monte Carlo`s spiltters (front and back) are stock Skoda Sport Sytling kit items - have them on my car! I like the black healights but think it would be a bit odd with the colour of my car and the fact I`ve gone for white highlights to my car.

Anyone got the part numbers for the lights and grille?
