WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO:) :) :) :thumbup: :thumbup:

Xmas is definately coming twice this year. The 5th of march is gonna be my first xmas as its the date i have been given to pick up my new vRS in Race Blue. the date has been brought forwards 4 weeks so now im like a Kid waiting up for santa.

Anyone got any tips on what to look for when i pick it up apart from the bodywork. Also does anyone now how much it will cost to enable the second foglight at the rear as i live in germany and have to have one on the other side (fooookin Germans still trying to rule the world!!!! :rofl: )

Cheers in advance

Have a read of this thread - lots of info and discussion about turning on the second fog light.

It looks like it can be done, and I would hope the dealer will do it for free if you are buying a new car from him.

Check the tyre pressures as a LOT of people have taken delivery of OctyII vRS's with tyres that are over inflated.

Congratulations Mater!

I can't wait either! Ordered a Magic Black vRS last week. Will be here in March, but I have no date yet. Apparently it has to be built to accomodate the Maxi-Dot I spec'd. What's more this will be my first Skoda and my first new car. Driving a 1.8T Mark 4 Glf Gti at the mo, had a Polo G40 before that.

Great, isn't it!

congrats to you too Marwood

I too ordered the car with a maxi dot at first but then was told id have to wait until end of April to get car with it and unfortunately due to work commitments i wouldn't be able to pick the car up and would of had to wait till June. as I'm an impatient bar steward i scrapped the maxi-dot. I've never had one so wont know what I'm missing.

Have fun and hope you get a date soon

28 days and counting wooohooo

I would ask the supplying dealer to enable the second fog light for you.

Thanks VRStu,

Yeah, I will do that. Will give the dealer a ring next week to check on expected delivery date and mention that as well. I have already suggested that I am willing to accept a vRS with 'extra extras' at no cost to myself should it help them (!) source one a little quicker.....I would hate to jam up the system through a lack of flexability LOL!

Indeed I was starting to wish I had speced the dual climate pack and heated seats today...however I really wanted to keep costs down. My wife thinks I shouldn't have bothered with 18s as she felt the made little difference to the stance of the car.

Mater, I bet you really can't wait. I am tempted to go and ask for another test drive at another dealer just to remind myself of how good it feels! I hope they don't keep me waiting past the 5th of March cos that's when the MOT runs out on my present part ex. I suppose I could argue that delays at the dealers end should not cause me to incur 'unexpected and highly unpalitable' costs. perhaps I should bandy round the term 'goodwill gesture' in my conversation. However, I don't think they will go for this given the part ex Golf is still in my ownership and has been assessed in value as having a current MOT. Given the fact the offered me a car with a shorter delivery time, albeit without maxi dot, may also balls up my attempt to argue a case.

On balance.....I'm not that concerned because of what I will eventually gain......unless of course the Golf fails the MOT big stylee.
