the amount of guys on briskoda who all said they wqould have paid the extra to get the k04 engine in the vRS. But the cant as it will always have to live below the GTIs shadow

Post by: Janner_Sy on May 10, 2010, 07:15:30 pm: me to in certain colours, the headlights do sometimes look a little oin your face though, but why did they have to detune the engine below the GTI??

Post by: B3n on May 10, 2010, 07:21:15 pm: Why do Skoda have the detuned engine??? Well VW have got to justify the 5k premium somehow :signLOL:
Its not that its a detuned engine its just VW havent let us have the new 210ps engine yet but looking at other engine trickle down times it should be in the Octy VRs by Christmas
But that Fabia VRs+ looks quite tasty can see myself getting a company car if they decide to release that :rolleye:

I think they would have done much better sticking the TTRS engine in the Octavia & giving it 4WD, Launch control and all LED Headlights a la R8 V10. Then kept the price at a Flat Â£20k as it comes fully loaded and watch that car fly off the shelf :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:

And i'll now wake up and drink my coffee

Hmm i retract my last coment about them being quite nice. Imo the Fabia needs to lose the rear doors and be beaten with the lowering stick then it would be a good looking car.

Title: Re: one for the skoda boys
Post by: VC on May 13, 2010, 10:34:33 am: hat off yeah, but its not just the colours dude, wtf have they done with the headlights :stupid:

makes the fronts look bulbous and ugly
Title: Re: one for the skoda boys
Post by: B3n on May 13, 2010, 10:44:47 am: Agreed i give them serious credit for trying but imo the Fabia is just to much of a toy looking car to attempt to be made sporty and aggressive.

But then again

Post by: Hedge on May 13, 2010, 10:45:02 am: Those Octavia ones are standard. :sad1:

I am still a fan of the facelift Octy though. They do look better in the flesh (and thats not me naked before you start).

Post by: B3n on May 13, 2010, 12:44:33 pm: Just a quick thought is there any possibility of perhaps someone doing a photoshop of the fabia in black or white?????

I would attempt it myself but i havent got a clue how
