thanx for the input...any mods required???

The rapid eill be hitting the UK market soon, although there are a few changes being made from the current model pver in india and china

Rapid over here is an entirely new car - not a booted sedan Fabia as it is in India.

A new model between the Fabia and Octavia. I quite like it, if it looks good could be a step up to a bigger car without needing an Octavia.

Ad is correct, the UK rapid and Indian Rapid are completely different.

Depends on which front brakes you have as standard. Providing the have remove able carriers and not FSIII brakes then they will fit on.

dint know uk was getting a whole new rapid...thanx for the reply anyway....will check thatout tech1e...

do u guys have vento over there...???

Not the Vento you do no. The last Vento we had was a MK3 Golf saloon, which evolved into the MK4 based Bora and the MK5 based Jetta.

Does it have FS III on the caliper?

yup it has tat written...

Then you can't remove the carrier so need to change the bearing carriers to ones that have a removable carrier like the ones on the vRS etc.

and 17" alloy wheels, and most likely spacers of 15mm or so as well.

As he said Jason he has the wheels and brembos from his Octavia I'm guessing he's got that covered.

Missed that bit

It'll need new hubs to take the 288mm standard vRS brakes iirc - then a change to LCR brakes will be ok but as Jason says - bigger wheels and possibly spacers!

Buy 312mm brakes, these are more than adequate - after all, you only have 105bhp...

Waiting for ur input guys

You will be able to put the vRS wheel in, yes. Is the Rapid going to be DSG or manual? You could use the paddles for changing gear or radio volume etc

Best place for Monte Carlo grill and lights are the dealers. Not sure i'd fit the arch trims etc.

Maybe a vRS bumper front and rear and small spoiler on the boot lid?
