Wasn't this someone on here?

[matt_theforce]

I'm sure I remember seeing a blue vrs on here some time ago, it was sprayed a Porsche blue from memory

dont know m8 but ov cant drive lol

[VRS Mike]

Previously a cat c with a scuffed bumper lol. Haven't seen it on here.

[devonutopia]

I do remember a resprayed blue octavia vRS some time ago. Can't find anything at the moment though.

[RobClubley]

The one on here was a 1.9TDI I'm sure. And it was a nicer blue

[DBP]

I thought it was going to be a lot nicer than it was. I am sorely disapointed actually. That blue just makes it look like a normal Octy in my eyes.

[skinnyman]

I remember that one too Rob, it was a deeper shade of blue than the one advertised.

[Bowders1]

Are you folks thinking of Trevors deeper Blue 1.8T with the Bam engine in it?

[RobClubley]

No - a couple of years (or maybe more) back there was a metallic blue Mk1 fitted with vRS bumpers and resprayed. It was similar to race blue. And I'm sure it was a diesel.

[matt_theforce]

Found it...

Adamhodg

adamhodg blue vrs

apparently it belonged to someone else on here before Adamhodg, someone called Gareth?

[skinnyman]

That's the one!

[VRS Mike]

Doesn't look so nice now!

[mbames]

Does not look like the airbags deployed though..... The exhaust angle looks wrong at the back.

[matti_vRS]

really dosnt look good in that colour! if your going to respray it, make it stand out atleast

[Bodge]

I quite like the colour. But the current owner obviously hasn't been looking after it, ignoring the fact that it's a wreck now of course!

I'd buy it but the metal hoop on the key is broken off!

[Oet]

exhaust is out of angle perhaps as the engine has been knocked back/out/off a mount in the crash

what do we recon its worth?

i recon maybe £400-500 at an absolute push (to be honest less really)...taking into account parts (below) plus repair cost if you cant do yourself, recovery, and spraying, and the fact its already a cat C means its end value will be lower.

its not immaculate throughout the car, its got front end damage that requires wings, bonnet, front panel rad, headlights indicators, possible exhaust damage, possible front chassis leg damage plus potential manifold/exhust damage (plus pelnty of little bits)

any other suggestions for value?

[Oet]

really dosnt look good in that colour! if your going to respray it, make it stand out atleast

why not?

[furry]

Same wheels as mine lol

[VRS Mike]

I bet it doesn't make reserve. Worth more in parts.

[snow_muncher]

looks better than silver, yellow or black ! :moon:

adding this colour to my list of possible colours for a respray

[VRS Mike]

It's never nicer than yellow!

[snow_muncher]

Last yellow vrs owner I met thought my cars existing 'Grandpa Gold' (Bronze) was nicer than his yellow - each to their own I guess

[modra_vrs]

Cat C or not, it was someones pride and joy at some point and a shame to see it smashed up.

Mk2 Racing Blue would look good on a mk1...

What you met a cowardly person with a vrs? Now a grey haired 4x4 owner would never admit to liking the 'Grandpa Gold'

[snow_muncher]

Didn't meet them in a driving sense

The only other Skoda's I've seen with the same paint finish have been OAP's, hence the 'Grandpa Gold'

ps are you linking 4x4 ownership to grey hair ?
