Hatch all the way.. If I ever need the extra space I just borrow the parents mk2 combi

So I took my new ride out for a bit of a late night drive with a friend and I have to say I was ugly-laughing most of the way. This is an insane car, even with just restricting the power for the first 1k miles.

It is a good car and doesn't take long or much to get to naughty speeds! I have a Burgermotorsports JB1 on mine and its pretty nuts to be honest!

[VRS230]

I'm convinced more and more that the engine is nowhere near 230 bhp. It's like a rocket ship.

i'm thinking the same  250ish ?

[VRS230]

No idea but I would be interested in seeing one that had been on a dyno to confirm.

I'm aware of a standard one that made 257hp.

[VRS230]

Would not surprise me at all, I'm looking into a remap once it's done 20k or so, I guess I'll find out then.

Are you from the states?

[buck890]

No, Nottingham.

[marko]

just picked mine up, nice smooth ride and pretty quiet compared to the mk2 cr170! very happy with it and going to fit my mudflaps today that I got from Superskoda on Thursday will take some pics later!

[blandy123]

[VRS230]

[Johnski21]

No, Nottingham.

Where did you pick the jb1 from. I can only seem to find them on the American sites and postage is quite high

[buck890]

I imported it from America.

ive added a few extras to mine this week rear door sill covers and front and rear mudflaps. I also painted the hubs black to finish the look off better and whilst the wheels were off i coated them in carpro dlux to keep them looking good for longer.

 

i know mudflaps are not to everyones taste but i think they suit the car and to be honest you hardly notice them.

i like the way the wheels look deeper now the hubs are painted.

 

hopefully ive added the pics right and you can see them!

Where did you source these and do they match the fronts? Thanks.

 i got them from superskoda the design of them is exactly the same but they dont have the colour in them like the fronts do, they are genuine skoda also.

not sure if standard vrs's have coloured inlays or its just the 230 model.
