We've just picked up our vRS, a TDI DSG, replacing a rather different Mazda 3 MPS. First impressions are very positive, DSG is a very different experience and lane assist is, well, just weird! :)

We took the opposite approach to most on here, rather than going for a colour and a black pack we went for black with Pictoris and silver rails to accent the black. Pleased with our choice!

    Looks good. Glad to see a different wheel and colour combo

    Very nice indeed. Enjoy using all of your spare time cleaning it though as black don't half show up the dirt. 

     

    But see what I mean about using silver or chrome to break it up!

    It's our 3rd black car (A4 3.0 Quattro / Mazda 6 MPS previously) so we know what we're letting ourselves in for.

    Need some work to keep clean, but really look *wow* when they are... :D

    That black so needs the chrome windows surrounds to contrast and tie in the roof rails - why oh why did Skoda uk pull it as an option! Nice to see something that isn't white or blue. :)

    Agree!

     

    Worth the elbow grease.

    Looks very smart..

    Nice, like that :-)  Does it have tints on the back windows?

    Yup. Her 9-year-old-majesty wouldn't want the sun in her eyes, lmao!

    wow...

     

    Fab choice Paul, I'm sure you'll enjoy it :)

     

    Health to drive ..

    Congrats mate. Looks brilliant.

    Damn it stop tempting me!

    I nearly ordered this combo but used money on options rather than paint.

    Very nice and it looks very classy with the silver rails - I loved my last black car although took some cleaning but it does shine in the sun though.

    To be honest I think it looks even better without the chrome window surrounds. Would've been too much of it then, now it's just right! Enjoy it as much as possible! :)

    paulobrien, congrats mate!!

     

    Looks very stylish and nicely proportioned :)  Audi who ?!

    That's the colour combination I've gone for. Same wheels and roof rails too. Looks great.

    Excellent looking car, very nice choice. Well done and enjoy! I bet you'll have a grin for some time! :)

    I've gone for Black, with Black Pack and the stock anthracite Gemini's. It arrives in a few weeks so I'll be posting photos shortly after.

    Cue ongoing response from The Wanderer that it'll look like a funeral car and needs something contrasty to offset the Black ;-)

    Sarcasm... Lowest for of wit & humour.  

    Yep, sunset glass too. I am partial to the stealth look - you should see my Golf R32! :-) The vRS will be my 3rd Black car in a row.

    Congrats Paul. It looks the shizz. You should be well proud.
