You're about to implode, being able to buy a new car is really nice. But there's more important stuff. How about this, while you wait for your new car, learn a language. Seriously, it'll help, and you can learn quite a lot in a few months.

Haha I cant learn a new language in like 4/5 weeks! Plus recently taught myself some spanish and im doing 2 A levels as home learning anyways lol

If you go for 20" rims remember to save some money for the dentist and osteopath.

Aww why cant they look cool and not break me?! :(

Just remember, spending more on it is adding more depreciation.

They won't add much at resale time. :)

This is very true....... but im intending to keep the car for absolute min of 5 years. And probably going to get a second set of wheels so I have a winter set and a summer set.......

Thats same as mine its not long away haha end of october will come soon for delivery :)

Is week 37 exclusively a 'RHD Candy White VRS week' in the factory???...  I'm all for a bit of 'lean' engineering but I now have to find the cash to change cars a little sooner than I was expecting!

No week 37 is also Steel Grey Elegence week

Hope they add a meteor grey in there too. ;-)

Hopefully, this week (37) is Brilliant Silver week as well  :clap:

:swear:  :swear:  :swear:  :swear:  :swear:  SUK today say im build week 40!!!! Needless to say my dealer has had an email from me asking whats going on lol

Putting after market wheels on a new car is a big no no i think. Would u not go with the xtreams?

Mines been confirmed for next week, week 37 don't know why it was put back to 39 and now brought forward again.

David I like the xtreams but can find other wheels I like more that are half the price. Why is it a big no no?

Robfab you are so lucky :(

I'm just looking for small things for it.

 

Like a blue or red vRS tax disc holder (may have to settle for black)

 

Some plastic car mats to cover the nice carpet ones.

 

A vRS keyring

 

Some LED bulbs for the boot, number plate lights & reversing lights.

 

A boot liner, boot bag & anti scuff strip for the boot.

 

There's only one big thing that I may consider & that's Ventureshield protective film for the whole car (subject to cost).

Already have - tax disk, vs keyring, custom boot liner, air freshener, seat belt pads, vinyl vrs stickers for mirrors and waiting for nice metallic blue plastic key fob cover to come out lol. Yeah im a saddo :D

Nice. Where did you get the vRS key ring from?

and Ill add to that, where was the custom boot liner and vrs decals from?

www.superskoda.com have a range of stuff for the Octavia III, including rubber floor mats, and boot scuff plates. The only thing is the prices are in euros and the delivery charges can mount if spending under 100euros at a time! I have just ordered (for the first time with superskoda) a black grill surround last Sunday and it has been delivered today, I'm now looking forward to getting home and inspecting whats been sent!
