thats a fabia and it is 360 miles from where i live in rochdale to st ives and 8 hours drive :(

I specified mudflaps all round but they only put some on the front. They said that they do not exist for the vRS and knocked off

Ooohhh, it's good!

Have only driven it about 5 miles (it's her car so it's only fair!) but it is just tremendous.

Nothing comes close to the overall package for anywhere near the money.

Please be careful with the brakes - I was forced to do an emergency stop when they were still (too) new and I thought I'd had it, definitely get them run in asap as I found them pretty scary to start with (as in hardly felt like it was slowing down when really braking hard).

It took about 1500 miles before it was sorted in that sense.

Should be a nice road, backroad Newbury -> Wantage is a handy one to get a nice flexible ride, some fast and some slow bends, a few hilly bits and you get your brakes sorted

Have a nice drive you all

Ooohhh' date=' it's good!

I did look into buying the SK55ODA plate for my new Octavia a month or so ago. The DVLA wanted

Silvervisions are on the shopping list! I've been meaning to get a set for the front of my Golf for about 2 years but everytime I think about ordering them I remember taking the bumper off to fit my dipped beam and sidelights and I put it off for another few months! :thumbdwn:

There doesn't look like theres much room in the Fabia either- is it a bumper off job too?

We don't have the SK55ODA plate- did think about buying VR55 KAT (her name is Katrina) but decided against it due to it costing

guys, out of interest what are you paying for your new cars, want to make sure im offering mine at the right price for mine second hand?

I assume between

I'va driven it more now and think it is an absolute bargain! The only thing that lets it down is the brakes- but I'm told these will get better as they bed in.

I've done about 550 miles since picking mine up on Thursday and the brakes are already starting to feel better.

Correct that figure with my options

Quite straightforward actually, there's enough room. First job I did on mine too
