Mr Goldfinger is pleased to announce that today he has ordered a Octavia 245 Challenge Edition Vrs.       Delivery is 12 to 14 weeks ( hopefully )

 

Rally Green, was going for white but changed my mind, DSG gearbox, Spare wheel and the Virtual Cockpit.

 

It's going to be a long wait.   

 

That is all

Nice one! Rallye Green is the best colour imo, and rarely ever see any. Definitely going to be a long few months!

 

 

Deserter...no more meteor grey? 

 

But most importantly, will it have a black spoiler?

 

Fair play, I do like the green

No, I'm thinking Pink

White spoiler for that 'old skool' Skoda look 

Jealous! Congrats on the purchase! Cant imagine there will be many rallye green ones on the road.

 

Although the black one in the press shots looks lovely

Awesome! 

 

Not at all envious  no sir, not me!

 

Congrats Andy, great colour choice too.

You've finally seen sense and got a decent colour ....

To be honest folks if Skoda hadn't  drop the colour the 245 would have been Yellow.    

nice one  ordered the best colour too  

Lets start a " who has a green spoiler " club

If I hadn't been so impetuous three years ago, I'd have ordered Rallye Green

When I'm in the car I can't see them, when I'm stood at the front I'll put my hands over my eyes

Apparently due to so many people on here copying the Chairman Skoda finally ran out of primer. Can't believe it took me 22 hours to see the news. Welcome in advance to the 245 club (finally) and I should be flattered as I had a Rallye Green Vrs DSG (albeit tractor powered) back in 2015, so it's only taken you 4 years to copy my colour and 2 years to copy my engine choice.

So you put the positive (better than Xenon's) before the negative (2 more lights to clean).

You could sell that number plate now and I will accept it if you're giving it away to the best 245 in the UK.

Talking of lights " Does this 245 come with High beam assist and cornering fogs " or will I need to get them Turn on  Via VCDS ?

Think you need to activate both, can't say as I miss either TBH.

Thanks for that.  I suppose it isn't hard to turn on/off the High beam with the light stalk

Remember the retain setting on re-start

In the UK it's a £450 option on MY19 so vehicles produced from August 2018, might take a while to reach you Kiwi's though.

Ah yes, it will be quite some time before we get it then :(
