Has anyone bought a rio red vrs, never seen one, wondering what it looks like with black pack, thinking of getting one to replace my mk3 vrs estate, hanging on to see what comes up offerswise on the octavia weekend at the start of june

I'm not an owner but my local stealer had a hatch with the black pack a little while back.

I thought it looked pretty cool, very understated.

We have one, it's a colour that grows on you. No black pack, however with sunroof and the anthracite wheels it looks good. Rio red is more of an orange it doesn't look anything like the colour on the configurator. Sorry I haven't got any pictures, will try and take some at the weekend. Fairly easy colour to keep clean, unlike my dark blue superb!

Someone posted pics of a Rio Red VRS on the 'Post your M3 Pics' thread if you have a check there

Here you go.  This was mine last summer.  Rio red with black pack & sunroof.

Thanks everyone for your responses, the colour is growing on me a lot, what i like is that it seems to shimmer into different shades depending on available light,

I have rio red in elegance spec. Shows scratches, dents and dirt more than my old, sold silver MKII.
