A couple more photos of the Monte Carlo look with a black roof. Looks like the business!

Far better looking than the Mk2, lets hope it gets some interesting engines and spec from the rest of the VAG range!

Agree that looks much better!

Yep, looks a lot better.

Wider and lower.

Think looking at some of these photo's Rapid style sport seats are an option

 

Just have to hope they haven't messed up the foot pedal position as on the RHD Octy III and it could be a very comfy car.

 

Oh the two cars in #226 are spot on for external looks, although the old Fabia's door handles would have been neater than the oversized Octy III type.

Really quite liking that!

Getting better and better. I wonder how much that roof will be....

On the Spaceback it was a £700 stand alone option.

 

However it's been dropped as an option across the range with the change in Spaceback trim levels last month. You now have to order the top of the range SE Sport if you want the glass roof but as standard.

 

Have it as part of the optional Sportpack on my now defunct SE trim and its a really nice feature.

Guess it`ll be that sort of price plus metallic, your well over a grand over list

The Sportpack option on the Rapid Spaceback was an eye watering £1600 RRP, although our car came from dealer stock and we got a very healthy discount.

 

The pack is now standard on the SE Sport, along with the other former options such as nav. The price if you compared an optioned SE against an equivalent SE Sport, has effectively gone down despite the SE Sport being more expensive than the Elegance it replaced.

It doesn't look dissimilar to the new A Class. Which is convenient, as I also like that!

Looking good. (though I personally dislike the kick up at the rear window)

all it needs now is an exciting engine.

Could do to tone down the over shiny fog housings and shrink the door handles slightly but otherwise that would be spot on.

Got two 64 plated Suzuki Swift hatches in this colour combo near to me.

Not sure ,thing you can over do the white.

I think it looks much better with black roof - the white roof just looks wrong in this picture. I've seen minis with this colour combo as well and it's not the colours I have an issue with - it's the way the white comes down the front pillars - just looks wrong in white! Black though is good!

 

 

 

Is it just looking bigger / wider than the actual 90 mm extra it is because it is nearer.

 (it would be nice to see straight on and side by side comparisons, & to properly see what 30 mm lower looks like.)

 

Front lower grill spacing looks like Skoda Dealerships will need to keep Radiators, Intercoolers & Condensers in Stock

or they are available for quick delivery and not Back Order items.

 

I see an early mod being Grills for that to provide protection from stones.

Five facts on the new 2015 Skoda Fabia - What Car…:

Looks great in this shot:

 

Lovely.  

Very soft porn filming effect.

 

Will the Satin Paint Finish be available for the General Public to buy.?

Looking great imo and front assist on a B segment car - interesting, especially if Skoda UK allow us to have the option here!
