I've just bought this and think it needs dropping, what do you guys think?

The ride is pretty harsh as it is!

Drop it. Weitec do a specific coilover kit for the Roomster

Yes, it needs lowering as it has the stock comical Skoda wheelarch gap.

 

I will be lowering mine too.

And dropping a 1.8tsi engine in too?

No!

No!

I was expecting less when I put the order in, the wheels are meant to be different, the glass roof wasn't guaranteed and neither was the reverse sensors but it came with all the gear.

It's based on a Roomster SE and they come with half decent kit to help them sell.  Like the glass roof.

Then you get the extra "Black Pack" bits too including the sat-nav.

 

Only thing is you can't add extra options as they are all pre-made and waiting for owners.

Is it unusual that I find this a very attractive motor vehicule?

I feel like their should be some kind of support group - Skoda Roomster Lust Anonymous.

It shouldn't appeal to me this much.

is it just me or are there similarities to this?

It's you

It's not just you, I could see it as a hearse for smaller people, or a rural Funeral Director. (Narrow lanes, etc.)

Looks very ominous to me, bit of the Darth Vader threatening look maybe?  And wouldn't want to break down / flat battery in one in the dark or on a dirty winter's day especially here on the M62 when they're using the hard shoulder as a running lane, particularly where the lighted bit ends eastbound just after crossing the M1 at Jn29. And won't it get horribly hot inside on hot sunny days?

Sorry that's horrid ! But strangely exotic at the same time ?

It's got the pan roof as standard, so it lets in epic amounts of light when you have the blind open

Saw one at West end garage in Dunfermline a couple of hours after posting that. Looked better on the metal but still not my cup of tea. Each to their own

Its the ultimate marmite car!

Yuck! I hate Marmite!! Although the car is surprisingly good to look at... not sure about the rear passenger windows though... think I'd have to look at it from a few different angles first.

A few more of the old pimp/pope mobile!

It's funny I've always disliked the shape and windows of the roomster but, for some reason, I really do like this one. Can't wait to pick ours up on Thursday now. Good to see all your pics leemoney.

It definitely needs dropping, who does a good photoshop job round these pages?

Thanks Brimma, I've got to take the wife's Yeti into Hortons for a service next week, can I site you in the divorce papers as the reason I traded the Monte in and bought the Roomster? :p

It's rather worrying to say that I think my van has less arch gap :(
