Having spent many hours poring over the forum, I have taken the leap of faith and ordered an Octavia. Passat (can I use that word?) is going.

2.0 TDi DSG Elegance in Graphite Grey

Sat Nav

Xenons

17" wheels and sports suspension, dealer has 18" pegasus ones but money run out.

Any tips welcome during my 10 week wait. Need a decent phone kit, not bluetooth.

18" Pegasus? New one on me.

Sweet car though, you wont regret it.

These are 18" on the demo car

oooo not seen them before, very flash.

Enjoy, I had my 1.9 elegance (but an estate) on 1st March, it is a lovely car to drive.

mmmm, me like those wheels!. How much were they as an upgrade if you dont mind me asking?.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Hi thanks for the welcome

The wheels are fiited to a demo car I drove a couple of weeks ago, dealer in Colne, Lancashire. I believe they are a dealer fit option around

Love those wheels.

Love those wheels.

Saw them at Geneva and posted a pic in here, think they looks much better than than the wheels on new Octy vRS:O

Sorry missed that thread

These wheels are in the new 04/06 Octavia accessories catalogue.

They are known as B18, and cost £ 180 each.

Is the catalogue online anywere?

Drove over the A595 in the lakes today, can't wait to try it with the Octy and DSG box, it will be a dream.

Haven't seen the catalogue on the web, got my copy on Friday last from my local dealer ( when I picked up my shining new magic Black Octy Sport TDi), he said he had only just received them, and they are date stamped as 04/06 - so totally up to date.

I will pick one up when passing, how long have you waited, I only ordered last week.

Nearly went for a sport model, but the Elegance worked out better, we have a company scheme which has some weird prices. The DSG car costs around

Ordered mine in Feb, but wanted extras ( Light assist, Rain sensor wipers, Split climatronic aircon with cool box, ski hole thing in rear seat) and so one was not immediately available. Was happy to wait, as the week before mine was manufactured ( 14th March ), the 2006 Sport interior was introduced, so mine has the latest interior, which is much smarter than the 2005 style.
