My new red VRS

Featured Replies

Finally picked up my red Vrs today from Furrows Oswestry :) ordered mid september.

 

MPG seems really good better than I expected, around 50 mpg.

 

Promptly on the way home saw the first VRS I've seen on the road exactly the same as mine!

 

Bit disappointed the dealership hadn't sorted the Xtreme wheels for me ready to drive away considering I notified them at the time of order I wanted them and made the extra payment over Christmas. - They have assured me that they will be ready to swapped over at the weekend though.

 

Was impressed with salesmans knowledge of all the 'computer stuff' explained everything to me really well :)

 

 

 

Nice pics.

Nice one, enjoy!

Oh, I was secretly hoping for a combi. I guess the hatch will have to do... Enjoy!

They may have missed the wheels but it was nice of them to leave all the stickers on for you..lol.

Nice!  Themes for the photo, I've ordered a red one too 

Eeeewwww, I don't like that.... No, not your car, but that wierd looking jelly mould mondeo in the same shot!

Enjoy your new car.

your car has a moustache!  but it looks really cool :)

 

dont forget new pics when you get the extremes on.

Looks nice with the black pack......

Loving the economy out of mine too.

Looks good- Enjoy the ride!

Old 18's are now for sale if anyone wants them and will be going on ebay shortly absolutely immaculate done about 50 miles.

I was looking forward to seeing the 19"s - and I still am, because I don't think those pics help yet! Be good to know how it drives / rides now.

I'll get some better ones tomorrow buddy :)

How are u asking for the wheels ?

Old 18's are now for sale if anyone wants them and will be going on ebay shortly absolutely immaculate done about 50 miles.

3 sets of wheels and tyres have sold on here in the last 2 months for approx  £800.

 

Hope that helps.

Looks good. I see there is still no option to spec the Xtreme's on the configurator on the Skoda site. Weren't they supposed to become an option soon?

To be honest, at first i thought the green and red colours would not look cool. But I was wrong. They seem so fresh and cool in the race blue vRS forest this forum has become :)

Bold choice mate, congrats!

Congrats on the car  :rock:

 

I'm interested in buying the wheels if postage can be managed.

 

Good color choice, i have a corrida red estate on order :)

Hi man, 

 

I'm thinking about changing my order specification to 19" alloy as well. How is the ride with these very cool wheels? I'm litle bit worried, since I found this article http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/reviews/skoda/octavia/vrs-hatchback/review 
Unfortunately not many people have them by now...except you man :)

Old wheels are sold. Shop around to get your 19s in the end I got mine for around 1350 with Goodyear tyres and the dealer also then gave me a 250 pound contribution meaning I paid out about 1100 quid.

For anyone who wants an idea of how the 19's will look there are a few ex demo's cars with them fitted on Autotrader. They look the mutts but out of my budget.
