Hi guys, found a bargain price 2005  VRS, (not sure the guy knows what he is selling) A friend took a look yesterday and sent me the pics. I expected way less, but the pics took me by surprise. What do you think about the seats? Was there an option like this (alcantara and white leather), or are these definitely reupholstered? If you notice anything else out of the ordinary, plz let me know! Cheerz guys and ty for the replies...

It has xenon lights.

 

 I have never seen an interior like that so my guess is reupholstered.

 

It could just be me but the photos on the website, the rear exhaust doesn't seem to sit central, maybe it has been reversed in to something when parking and luckily just bent the exhaust slightly. Like I say it could be the angle of the photo or just me though.

'Powered by fairydust' mats !!! suggest a recent lady owner who loved it.

I'm not sure if it's the photographs or just dirt on the seats but it *could* be also signs of damp/watermarks (?).  Have a check in the rear footwells and also the bottom of the doorcards on the rear doors, for signs of water ingress.  The Fabia and a few other VAG models from the same era are notorious for this.  Easy enough to sort though. 

 

Seats have defo been reupholstered.  Black leather as an option (rare) or white/grey fabric as standard.  Black leather with blue piping on SE's.

...or a gay man.

 

More likely the crafty salesman put them in to suggest a lady owner, they don't match the interior so they're from a different car.

I'm gay and wouldn't dream of having such mats 

Hey guys, just seen the replies. Thanks. Well, the person who reupholstered these seats, thumbs up for him   A guy suggested that some kind of a protective plastic cover that goes beneath the car are  missing. Is it true? There doesnt seem to be any corrosion or rust for the lack of it? It this supposed to be covered? Didn't know about potential water issue, ill keep that in mind... There is one more Vrs to consider. It's 2006, lower mileage, 140k km,  but i dont like the color,  and am concerned about the state of the engine a bit.  The owner stated that he had it remapped to 183bhp (on stock parts) Is it not too aggressive?

 

Here's the link to the yellow one.  She is 4000 euros. What do you think, which one would you take? Don't mind the wheels, they are a winter set. The sides of the front seets seem to be reupholstered... Is it possible to tear up at 140k km i wonder....

Buy whichever one you like, mileage doesn't matter, history is more important.
