For a 1.2 tsi 105 Elegance Rapid

6 speed manual with lots of toys.

Wife wasn't getting on with the fabia and dsg so gone for the rapid instead if another fabia or octy 2.

Having a baby in June so still needed space and dealer did a cracking deal on a rapid - got sport seats, 17'' wheels and privacy glass on top of the elegance spec.

Savings are immense, won't be as fast but I have got to grow up anyway with little one coming

do give us some pics and a reveiw when you get it

Will do - looking at 1-2 weeks as its just arrive in port!

I have gloss black dash trims, floor mats and rubber boot mat to suit your new vrs estate sharky

Could have gone for diesel Fabia Elegance estate, VAT and interest free, and then got Shark to remap it - best of all worlds

Looked diesel wise but we do town work mostly and my tech advised against it due to dpf and then higher price seeing as I do 6-8k miles a year.

Should anybody want genuine carpet mats, rubber boot liner and gloss black interior trims (dash pod, air vents and gear surround) let me know before I stick the up in the for sale section.

Ill take the mats how much you want for them? Got any pics of the other bits and bobs

Will get a pic if dash bits up. Boot liner is on Skoda website I'm sure.

Will pm you mate

No problemo

I presume the boot liner is different for the estate and hatch?

The middle vents are done also but not in this picture.

Yes boot liner is about 20cm deeper than the hatch.

Gloss black bits as follows:

Dsg surround

Dash pod

Air vents x 3

Radio surround

She's gone! :(

Sad and happy day, the vRS has gone and been replaced with a more grown up and family based car - enter the Rapid!

Looks pretty cool with 17'' wheels, privacy glass and fogs/honeycomb grill. Sports seats are dead comfy and supportive.

Will get some pics up soon

Will the VRS be gracing the forecourt at Caffyns?Get some pics up when you can of the new Rapid. Have to say I do like the Rapid, just hasnt got any engines that interest me.

It will indeed. Should imagine it will be for sale in a week or two.

I like the sharp styling - back to the original mk1 vRS looks I think.

Yeah, shall look forward to a few bigger engines. vRS engined one soon

Have you posted up any pics of the Rapide yet? Let us all know when you have please, id like to see some of it.

Not yet sy, will probably do it tomorrow.

Just been out for a 30 mile drive in the Rapid, various roads etc - damn it rides well! Very comfy despite riding on the same profile tyres as the vRS...

Did you do the comfort test on Pembury Road?? ( although its being resurfaced this week)

Avoided that although its not hard to find a pothole!!

No not really

I took mine to the dealer and the master tech took the whole unit out then I took the surround off after.

Ok thanks much appreciated

Why?

Why indeed - mostly so we can live the life we live now albeit with a slower car
