A 2-up drag race between the two super-Yetis would be a sight to behold  

Never knew you had a white Evoque Richard   

 

That wasn't a Range Rover when I was into them... thankfully.

And the Sport was just a Disco in a dress.

 

Anyway...

We have gone from this:

 

To this:

 

To this!!!

 

 

 

A Race Blue Yeti!

 

I need to get the Annapurnas on I think to complete the change.

Beautiful!

Brilliant. Needs darker alloys to blend in with the bumpers/door protectors.

I really wasn't sure, Annapurnas or Matterhorn. (latter like the Red Yeti)

But went for the brighter Annapurnas...

 

Hope it's the right choice.

Absolutely brilliant. The colour really suits it and works well.

 

Maybe it will be offered as a factory colour at some point. You can buy the Rapid and a normal Octavia in Race Blue now.

I'm sure everyone would agree, there are no wrong choices when it's your choice.

Amazing project. Look forward to seeing it on track

Great colour choice, Richard. Love it

 

 

 

 

Sorry to lower the tone, as ever, but what a great way to remember your number plate........

I'm changing it!

Well smart and as long as you are happy,doesn't matter what others think.

I'm changing it!

 

 

You can't, that'll ruin it  :(

Looks very smart! Are you going to put a VRS badge on the grill?

Now that would REALLY polarise opinion.

It can't pretend to be something that doesn't exist

...like a yeti, for example?

That colour suits the car well! Very nice car!

True.

 

I've always been a bit anti fake badges, but I look on this as how I'd have made a Yeti VRS if I was Skoda...  with a bit of aftermaket extra horsepower.

It will will end up being quicker than any stock VRS.

Why did Skoda never offer this colour on the Yeti?

 

 Looks great Richard.

Because until they sold out on the mk3 Octavia it was VRs's only.

Really does look good, better than I thought it would to be honest.   How far on have GAZ got with your suspension?

Considering the KW V3 kit is due early next week, which will then let me take the stock stuff off and give it to GAZ... not far.

 

 

I wasn't sure on the colour to be honest when I first saw it.

But the more I see it the more I really like it.

Particularly the front where it really contrasts well with the chrome grille and bright headlights.

I might have been tempted to keep the B pillar black..   Richard, it looks great.
