Lex's Octy VRS

Featured Replies

Just got my new VRS yesterday and man i have fallen in love. Its such a great car to drive, and its tight as a drum even at 95k.

I was blown away by the power it pulls like a train and the power comes in big lumps haha, the traction control comes in if i plant it in 2nd or 3rd, I think that's the map haha

Im still getting used to the size of it, its so much bigger than the fabia but thanks to shroud (previous owner) it handles amazingly, i can see what you boys are on about when you talk about the RARB and hicon gt coilovers.

Touch wood i havent had any post buying niggles well only one that was easy to fix, the front passenger wheel nuts where a bit loose so the wheel vibrated but i tightened them and thats fixed. Also i upgraded the headunit today as tbh the normal one is crap , i loose the CD changer but i have an ipod so i dont mind!

Here is a list of the mods so far:

Shark stage 1 remap

Green cotton panel filter

compbrake DV

Silicone breather Hoses

Weitec Hicon GT coilovers

RARB

Pollybushed

Front mesh grill

Tinted rear windows,

LED numberplate bulbs (sidelights to fit)

Carbon wrapped Centre console trim

Sony CD player

Pioneer rear speakers

Uprated Headlight bulbs

Aero Wipers

Plans for the future:

Uprated SMIC (bought a a really good one off here very cheap)

S3 upper and lower strut brace

Stainless exhaust turbo back inc sports cat (resonated)

More silicone pipes

CAI maybe not too sure yet

Sub-woofer and maybe upgrade front speakers i like my music haha

LCR front splitter

Wind deflectors

Change the alloys At some point, yes i like them but they are the 16" and i feel they look a bit small for the car i would prefer the 17"

I shall add some more pics inc interior when i have given her a throughout clean

It does, as does the silver.

I guess it depends if you are going for the stealth look or not.
