Looks like Rio Red metallic to me. When clean and in bright sunlight it looks great. Otherwise resembles a brick

Think your spot on with the colour, SWMBO wanted her Rapid in this shade back in 2015, but I pulled a fast one and went back to the dealer and told them to order it in Rallye Green instead. Expected a load of abuse when she went to collect it but the full PANOROOF saved my bacon! LOL.

Ha, thank you.

Like them both, but if I think the Octavia looked good, the Cupra looks even better (IMHO)

 

Cupra looks great, but the Octavia edges it for me. Those Xtreme wheels on White really work!

Octavia looks better and much more mature (and thats even before your open the door and get inside). Seat does not suit white color much, darker would be better, also not fun of those alloys on Octavia, too boy racers. Still, Seat wins on 4wd and more power and tuning possibility.

This is us all loaded and ready for a trip to Holland! Love my Thule roof bars for the bikes, though it's silly you have to pay extra for them in black!

This is the exact picture that made me want the Octavia and the look I was aiming for:

This is really making me want to change my Geminis for Xtremes 

Mine are changing next month , even though the car looks smart it will really make a big difference.... not bothered about the ride just want that look from an already smart car 

Never at any point did I think the Xtremes made the ride bad

Just what I’ve heard . But to be honest I don’t care . The look is the prize with the extremes . If I hadn’t of brought mine as a demo then they would of been on there from the start . But now I change the look after 2 years so I can’t wait 

It will give it a fresher look for the next 2 years . After that the mk4 comes out and then we are back to the old style shape . New design front and mk2 back

You missed out just sold my Gloss Black 245 Extremes to a lucky chap on a sunny Island!

Today put my spare set of 18" alloys with Pirelli 225/40YR18 tyres and wouldn't say the ride is any better than it was with the 19" Extremes I've been running for the last 12 months. Thought it would be more noticable.

Just for you Craig cleaned the calipers whilst I had your new wheels off and set to 2.5bar. Had the Extremes at 2.7bar.Enjoy! Just need to threat myself to some suitable centre caps!

They are really smart mate

Yeah agree Craig bought them in April 2016 for my new Superb but been collecting dust in the garage for the last year when I traded it in for the 245. Must be an optical illusion but looks wider at the back like I've fitted spacers but I haven't. WEIRD!

Different offset?

Maybe because they're no wider at 7.5J.

Bit like this......

Although I prefer the pre FL lights, the post FL aren’t too bad, especially on the vRS. They do look suitably aggressive. 

 

@BOOSSHH nice motor pal! And great pics. 

 

Just watch out for hidden hand-held and fixed radar cameras in Switzerland, their speeding fines are very pricey!
