Lol "... It was meant to read who was the dealer you got poor service from.

i understand if you would rather not say on here .

but you have been treated bad and by naming them may help others.

[EddGee]

For a number of reasons I’d rather not say. The matter is closed now and thankfully I can move on. 

 

What I took away from all of this was to go over any car with a bloody microscope to avoid any dispute later on.

 

Still annoyed with myself for missing bits of trim that I normally would have picked up on. 

 

Next time Im taking nothing for granted. 

 

You live and learn.

the missing seat trim happens when folding seats flat and roughly shoving in a long load.

 

It catches under the seat trim and pops it off. Its a bit of a faff to replace so the previous owner has probably not bothered.

Please post some pics when you collect it.  I bet it looks the dogs. 

 

 

Here’s the Superb replacement. Being unwrapped and prepared for delivery tomorrow hopefully. 

 

Spec is Octavia vRS 245 DSG with Pan Roof and one or two other bits.

I can't say I am a fan of those alloys but I like the split front light design; no accounting for taste eh?

Hope you have better luck with this one.

[EddGee]

Yes, an acquired taste I think 

[penguin17]

I really like that @EddGee  nice work

 

I think the Octavia vRS looks great as an estate. I’m the opposite to Sagalout, the alloys set the car off IMO

 

Good luck and enjoy tomorrow; hopefully a better experience for you this time. 

[EddGee]

Thanks Penguin. I’ll still frequent the Superb forum. 

 

Looking forward to seeing your beast when she lands

Stop encouraging him. The rest of us are jealous enough as it is!

Must say I do like the look of the Octavia in white. And those alloys look excellent. Enjoy matey hope all goes well.

That's a cracking looking motor. I like those wheels personally and even the facelift lights are growing on me. If they had made a petrol VRS with 4 wheel drive ( or even a Scout ) the chances are I would be driving one now.

Same here with the lights, particularly on the vRS models.  The non-vRS ones still look a little iffy as there's nothing much else on the car to draw your attention from the lights. 

 

Hows it going @EddGee ?  Collected yet?

Hi mate

 

unfortunately I can’t get there today. 

 

On a training course at work which left me stuck on site most of the day. 

 

Very frustrating but hey ho that’s the way it goes sometimes. 

 

Collecting tomorrow now for definite.
