Ady, any photo's? My last vrs was metallic black and was absolutely stunning when clean and in the sun!

That took some working out, there you go Jonboy, I don't know if I can be bothered to change tbh. Going in for a cam belt and pump next week.

I would be very interested in the Kenwood.

Ady, this is a stunner. I much prefer blue in the pre facelift but definitely black in the facelift!

This is identical to my black vrs except I had my Neptune's refurbed in gunmetal grey and it had the all important dsg box.

I would whole heatedly recommend the dsg, I miss mine every day.

If you do decide to sell, someone here will get a real bargain.

Good luck with the sale!

Off topic a bit but do you have any pics of your black VRS with gunmetal alloys?

It must be the lighting but they look darker in the pics than they did in real life.

That's a nice spec. Not very common to have the auto dimming mirror, auto wipers and lights on the vRS models as it was optional.

 

I am biased but I would really recommend a DSG. Whether I'm sat in some stop start traffic somewhere or effortlessly accelerating onto a motorway I just love it and often think how awful it would be to have a manual.

 

Obviously there are some drawbacks in the form of slightly higher fuel consumption, higher tax (the DSG normally bumps it up by £50 a year) and increased servicing costs (DSG oil and filter change every 40k miles) but for me it's worth it!

Due to the lack of availability of reasonably priced DSG CR Octavia's I think it will have to wait a year or so. A dealer swap will cost me about £2500 (presuming mine is £8K trade and similar year/mileage cars are £10.7K).  

 

Cam belt/pump being done tomorrow for £369

Crikey, that's cheap!  I got mine done at the weekend for £425, down from the fixed price servicing cost of £459, and thought i'd done well to get them down to that price, but you've gone and burst my balloon!
