Skoda Race Blue Octavia vRS
Discussion
Finally had it delivered on Monday after ordering it in late June 2010! The car is a Octy vRS CR DSG and has already proved a success! Really nice interior, more relaxed ride than the FR and a great motorway tool for moving cars out of the outside lane
I have a couple of changes planned including the fitting of the OEM sports suspension kit (basically Eibach Pro Kit springs in a Skoda box!)and a subtle rear window tint too. I've already had the grill colour coded by a great local spray shop in Redditch. I'm not a fan of chrome so the chrome grill had to go! I also think the colour coded grill suits the vRS better. I've also ordered a Nilfisk C120 and a snow foam lance for some easier cleaning.
A few pics of the old and new, and the colour coded grill :-

Noticed you used a paint shop in Redditch, are you from around there yourself? I'll keep an eye out for the car, normally slow right down seeing one of these as the Un-marked BIB use them in our area! Lovely car though!
Originally from Winyates now live in Lickey. Oh and if you can indicate when slowing down it will help me get past quicker thanks
Painted grill definately looks much better.
Couple of things that I think could look nice;
Black vinyl to the B Piller and (if possible) swap the chrome surround in the headlights to black, like the Seat's lights.
Out of curiousity, why did you have to wait nearly 8 months for it? No doubting its a nice car, but I would have thought the waiting list would have been minimal...
