Love the black vRS. Have you pictures from side on to see how the car sits on the 19" wheels. Just want to judge whether Eibachs are needed

It has the sunset glass actually.

Image from the side attached, all images with mobilephone camera so not the highest quality im afraid.

That would be a 'Yes'.

 

I am really in two minds about these wheels. They look great but the difference of an inch seems to make it 'look' even higher off the ground....?

Damn. I thought the sunset looked much darker than that. Worried it's not dark on the black paintwork.....

Took my Rally Sport for quick spin in the mountains. Wow what an absolutely fantastic car. In sport mode blasting up with no pooolice to bother you.

Feels like Ben Hur with a thousand horses. The steering and acceleration is just magic !!

 

 

 

 

 

Nice scenery Steveh3... :yes:

Looks stunning in the black, but must agree with bitchi, it does appear to make it look higher off the ground… I would say to the extent of an Audi All-Road!

 

Brochure and marketing pics are some way off what the car you receive actually looks like in real life (stance-wise)… and unless you've got a really heavy family or fill your car with concrete blocks it's something that needs tweaking!

 

I've already got the H&R springs ready to go on… just need the car to turn up.

Have to agree Nookie. Love the wheels but that sits WAY too high in afraid. Slightly hesitant to put lowering springs on though as the so-called approved Eibachs I had on my mk2 facelift vRS led to huge uneven wear on the tyres and then 3 leaking shocks after a while.

At least Skoda covered the repairs due to the fact the springs were optional at the time.

Yeah the pictures at skoda's dealers of the really low vrs with the Extreme alloys is quite low compared to what you acctually get in the end.

I don't get the feeling the car sits to high when you see it "irl", don't know if I would lower it because it drives quite nice right now!

The superb we have (for a week more) is barely more comfortable than this car, and the octavia feels quiteter inside at highway speeds than the superb, the last one might be the "this new car is awesome" setting in my mind though

The car looks fab Steveh3 and stunning views, best of luck with the car...

 

Will agree that when I test drove the car at my local dealers, although it looked high, it didn't feel like it when driving and handled superbly (no cross reference or pun there).

 

It's a difficult one… and there's an obvious trade off whichever way you go I think.

 

All that said… as mentioned before the car looks stunning… enjoy… just can't wait for mine to arrive (6 months + 1 week since ordering and supposedly being built next week).

Finally its my turn to post a pic of my VRS tsi, just two for now as we are packing for a trip at the moment, all I can say is wow!! it was worth the wait, it can really get down the road in a hurry...

More later...

 

 

Congrats CaoraDubha. Welcome to the vRS club. Hope you enjoy your new motor.

Milotec

Diffuser looks good, but it doesn't look the same as the one on the Milotec website. IMO it looks better than the Milotec because it doesn't have the flutes in the middle. What make is yours?

Here's my Batmobile!!

 

Funnily enough, that's what I've started referring to mine as (can't imagine why, big black mean looking car and all)... anyway, it got me thinking, I wonder if someone could make seats with yellow inserts (instead of grey or red)...

Skoda don't describe it as privacy glass - they describe it as sunset glass (is that glass that makes it look like sunset all the time?).

Beat me to it. It's not advertised as a dark tint

:0 oops, thats why its not as dark then... didn't realise that when i ticked the box! shame they dont offer privacy then!

The sunset glass is fairly dark in my opinion, having seen my car today. It's not as dark as some manufacturers granted but I prefer it as the difference between the front and rear side windows isn't to stark then

Picked up my 1.4 TSI DSG7 Elegance Combi today (ordered mid-December)
