My Skoda arrived today!

 

It’s a 110tsi manual with a tech, luxury and panoramic roof pack. I’m very exciting to put my turini wheel, rs spoiler and black mirror caps on it!

Enjoy 

Have you had a long wait?

Nice trim, nice color. Have a lot of joy!

 

The wait hasn’t been as long as some others but 5 months is long enough.

 

I got to drive it today over to the body shop to have to spoiler fitted, I love it!!!

5 months, yeah it is expected, as they need to remove the steering wheel from the drivers seat and reposition it to the front passenger seat while on the boat. Drilling, cutting, you know the story.

 

Nice, those Alloys look mint.

It's a pity you are on the other side of the world I would have been interested in the Silver ones..

Shame! 

People here aren’t interested in them. I’ve got them online for $200 aud for 4 and no bites...

Im sure the Turini`s will sell eventually.

Thanks for that, I have them on my Octavia but could ever find the name for them

 

Just had "Hydrocoat Protectiv" applied to the car after the detail.

 

Looking very very shiny!

 

 

Official handover today!

With its new shoes on

So I had some fun this afternoon with OBD Eleven and coding in;

- comfort exit to help get out of the car

- needle staging

- refuel quantity

- high beam assist

- heated seat memory for driver and passenger

 

Also my most hated this PIANO BLACK GLOSS I decided to wrap the gear stick surrounds in 3M vinyl wrap. Look muuuuuuch better :-)

Went on a drive over to Batemans Bay today, on the way back I took a couple of pics on the country side

Also the little organiser thingo in the cupholder is great for Mars Bars!

Race Blue is a brilliant colour, definitely the best choice.

 

I prefer the original silver alloys, the black ones look great when clean and with tyre shine on, but once dusty they look really dirty quickly. I'm not a fan of the tyres being darker than the rims, here in the UK that would be roughly 3 miles after cleaning them!

 

Don't forget and leave the Mars Bar there too long, it'll melt and fill the key hole with sticky nougat

I was drawn to it the moment I saw it!

 

My paint, wheels and glass are coated with a product called “hydrocoat protektiv”. The brake dust doesn’t stick, I chuck water on it and the dust rolls off :-)

 

Oh trust me, it didn’t remain long at all hahaha

@Felvo - is that phone holder standard fit in Oz? I've recently bought a MY18 VRS and have the standard holder (same as from my old 2015 Elegance) and thought perhaps Skoda have updated it to accept ever growing phones! Just wonder if someone has swapped them before handover..... Anyone in the UK with a MY18 VRS have the original or new version?
