Didn't read the thread - just wanted to pint out they're known as 'Viper Stripes'.

I voted Yuk but TBH couldn't care less - bit chavvie but kinda cool at the same time..

Point duely noted

gorgeous!!!! get your eyes checked!! ugly ugly things!

Beauty is in the eye etc etc.

personally love them myself.

A bloke who lives near me has a metallic grey one, no stripes or nothing and it looks the absolute dogs

No offence.... and i know this next sentance will prevoke a heck of alot of :mad: here.... but if you look for a sporty hatch... Focus ST certainly looks a heck of alot better than octy vRS or Fab vRS. Really does.

There i've said it.

:sofahide:

yeah theres sporty, but the its not good looking its just sporty. cant compare the st to the furb! but the Seat Leon looks much nicer in cupra spec! Astra vxr is a pretty car, much more dynamic looking than the Focus:O

**** init, bovered?

(eh? why does ch@v get bleeped for f***'s sake,am i missing something?)

Even with 40% off I still wouldn't get one. A mate had one and he managed to flog it for 17k. He was getting about 26mpg average and it was basically a Focus with a big Volvo engine. He is now looking for a MK1 Octavia VRS in black and keeps offering to buy mine. Ps he bought the blue Focus ST2 as the orange was mingin!

it got baned ages ago. it was because people were modding their cars and somethings were C**v when they blaintently wernt just got used to much i think lol oh and somehting to do with calling jason one i think... :confused:

I would vote yes, as it's on an ST, but I have seen similar on a daewoo / chevrolet / junkbucket Matiz, and thought the owner had done it, I did however find out later that this is an optional extra from the manufacturer!

Nice.........NOT

pretty sure the privilege scheme applies to all cars within the Ford group, including Volvo and Jaguar.

Hmmm........

Perhaps there are different levels of privilege? We're a 1st tier supplier so our options could be different. :confused:

well...yeah...in as much as a vRS is just a remapped Octavia :confused:

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

They look tacky on anything other than a Dodge Viper, AC Cobra and Ford Mustang & GT

Priv is open to all ford cars including jaguar and volvos.. BUT!!....

on an ST all he gets off list is set of matts, tank of fuel and the xenons on an ST-2

Big waste of dosh.

Still a damned nice car though, hope he does go through with it.

Get the stripes! , anyway , heres a novel use of Asbo Orange , my mates VW T25 Camper! Restored by him last winter...(cam fone pic)

well...yeah...in as much as a vRS is just a remapped Octavia :confused:

Don't be silly - a vRS is an Octavia with a detuned Audi engine in it

Big waste of dosh.

Although saying that the 2nd hand ones about do seem to be holding their value pretty well so if he gets the right options, he should have no trouble selling it on

Chris

Nice; now add the Porsche 4x4 system (no joke; there were several of those built for high speed VAG and Porsche executive transports when they were new).

well...yeah...in as much as a vRS is just a remapped Octavia :confused:

Isn't it the 180bhp engine from the TT plus it's running gear? It has a bigger turbo than the standard 150bhp 1.8 T as it pushes out the extra 30bhp. A friend has a 1.8T Passat and keeps saying he is going to whip the turbo out of mine and use it in his:(

This is mine sorry its in blue
