Howdy all, been on holiday for two weeks in Itlay:thumbup: , and whilst away I leant my mate my Octy vRS. So impressed was he that he has gone and ordered one in black.

However, garages being what they are they are dicking him about a bit, and now claim they can't get black but can get a red one.

Does anyone have any piccies of a red Octy vRS that I can forward to him, as he is a bit unsure about the colour.

Cheers Chris.

These are some piccies of swmbo, not the best tho as car looks a bit orange in them due to flash, Red is featured quite prominant in brochure as well iirc. HTH

Some pics of my red Octy 1 vRs estate in the Members Car Section here if that helps.

Rob Clubleys estate is also in there too I think.

However, garages being what they are they are dicking him about a bit, and now claim they can't get black but can get a red one.

Not sue if you are taking new or second hand, and Octy 1 or Octy 2, but you can search the Skoda Uk website to see what second hand or ex demo stock the dealers have in.

If your friend is near Bradford like you, it shows Lightcliffe Skoda in Halifax as having four black Octy 1 vRs hatches in stock!

It also shows Horners Manchester having a black Octy 2 hatch in - 2006, 4000 miles, £15999. Another one is Simpsons Colne - 2006, 5714 miles, £14,999

Cheers chaps

he is after a Mk1 (he's not keen on Mk2), funnily enough it is Horners in Manchester that have been messing him about a bit.

They reckon they can get a 53 plate red in for him, but he has never seen one so is unsure whether he will like the colour.

he hasn't got access to t'internet so I was going to save a picture and MMS it to his phone..............isn't the 21st century great!

Well I would recommend red (but there again im biased).

If his mind is set on black, a trip to Halifax seems to be in order!

They also have a silver one and a red one listed, so he can compare.
