Nothing else matters, I'm south of 300 quid a year for a 290bhp car.

Nice! Im paying £650 for my 120 and have been quoted £1000 for a multicar policy for the VRS, 120 and my partners Mini which I think is damn good

Quotemehappy.com worked out cheap for me but, over 50. Young Jay had a better quote somewhere else for those in their 20's !!!!!!

 

Confused and Admiral have been the cheapest for me so far. still need to see what it's like added to our other car as a multicar policy.

That looks the mutts nutts mate!  Ive ordered red too! :-)

 

Smart mate. Mine was fresh off transporter in dealers compound. Complete with suspension chocks and white plastic covers over most of body so didn't bother with photos. Smart as you like though. Can't wait.

Noooo to a Black spoiler. Each to their own but I think it looks odd!

Black & naked thats the way I like my booty's

Ordered white DSG hatch last monday. Was told 18 weeks but will find out next week my build date. 

Driven a 230 DSG and was very impressed. Hopefully the 245 will be the same.

Disabled the fake engine noise on my 245 this morning using VCDS and I can't believe how happy disabling this has made me. It beggars belief you can't fully kill this nonsense off through standard menus.

Milltek cat back will make a nice sound! Love to do mine, just can't justify the cost right now!

I’ll be ordering a REMUS with the controllable valves

Haha. 

 

Ive just looked on google and to be honest it doesn’t look to bad! 

 

Especially on a Meteor Grey one 

Usually frequent the Fabia side of the forum...  But yes, I've ventured into Octy territory for my daily!

 

Order placed for a 245 in Corrida Red with DSG, otherwise standard spec. Not fussed with the DCC or any other options - standard car is the life of luxury from what I'm used to!! Not had a build date yet - order went in the end of September. Hoping it falls nicely for an 18 plate.

Black roof would look nice. Wish i had specced a panormaic roof as they give the illusion of a black roof.

 

Just looked at the photos again - they sit pretty high dont they!

My Meteor Grey 230 has a Pan roof, looks the business, Oh!.............did I mention It has a black spoiler

Well finally made up my mind and ordered a 245 in meteor grey with no other options to replace my superb. I guess my fuel bill will going up a bit coming from diesel and doing 20k miles a year. Asked for delivery in April.

Anyone bought a metallic red one (not the Corrida red)? 

I can't find a photo of a vrs in that colour.

Velvet red has only just become available in the UK so you wont find any for a while yet.

Also as a £725 option, it will be a rare sight.

Velvet red is now.   It's on the confugurator 

Edited 5 November, 20178 yr by roo

So it is, is it on the order system as yet ?

the new red is deeper and looks better IMO but for £750 il stick with the standard.

Looks like we placed ours around the same time, exactly the same model aswel.

I was advised end of Feb however would move forward (I took over someone else's order apparently)

I spoke to the dealership last week, my order has been delayed a further 3 weeks and they told be build week 11.

Not a happy chap at all right now. :(
