vRS Black Pack - Dealer retro fit. Cost?


Recommended Posts

My car is not due for delivery until early August.

I spoke to the dealer on Thursday about adding the Black Pack to the order and he said currently they are only available on LHD cars. However, he will be speaking to Skoda Technical Services to confirm when RHD cars will have them and will amend the order for my car.

No idea about retrospective fitment costs yet.

£450 for me and I get the original parts to keep too.

Priced the parts up using the chassis number for a Monte Carlo.

Was looking at the Monte Carlo last week and the lights are different (other than being black of course!).

In what way? If that's true then it'll be interesting to see how they sort it!

Not 100% sure off the top of my head. If you find a pick of the Monte showing the headlights and compare they are defo different.

Possibly no main beam bulb on it's own? Not sure.

They must be available surely? Salesman priced it up by basically saying to the parts department "assume that the monte Carlo in the showroom has had an accident and needs the lights and grille replacing. How much?"

Maybe the salesman you spoke to knew that they wouldn't fit the vrs which mine didn't?

hello i think us people who have a vrs now and want to change the lights will have to wait until the vrs comes out with the black pack and take it from there for the lights ,bit of a wait for that lol

Apparently the black pack will be a standard free option on all Fabia vRS cars built week 22 onwards, my local dealer let me read the bulletin today when I was considering placing a order.

This is indeed correct :)

That's odd? Unlike normal headlight clusters, projector lights can have their spray reversed by rotating the internal casing (can't think of the technical term). Seems odd.

Well I decided to order the Monte Carlo black grill bits today. £57 for all the bits with clips. Will leave the lights for now. Dealer said there be a delay in getting them as not many at the factory so may be back ordered.

I'm a bit unsure about getting the black pack on a white car. I think I will just order the grill on its own.

Timamb, any chance of posting the part number for the black grille?

Just wondering what exactly do you get for £57? I guess you get the top section which fits on the bonnet but do you get a complete lower section of the grill or a black insert to replace the chrome one.

I like the black grill, but not sure about the black lights. However, with the black A pillars and black wing mirrors, I do like the black "touch" to the front of the car.

If you order the black grille from the Monte Carlo, is it possible to swap the VRS badge from the original Chrome grille?

Not sure if it clips in or if it's glued on.

So it's standard now I didn't have to spec it when I ordered?

Sorry fella I don't have the part numbers I'm afraid. They just looked it up on the computer and ordered the bits for me.

Believe it's just the top section and the insert. The actual grill with the vRS badge will just stay where it is.

Badge wont have to be touched as the original grill will stay in place. Also it clips on. I ordered some clips too.
