rob_e's CW vRS - return to stock :(

[rob_e]

Looks excellent.  Those alloys look like the ones on the special edition, last of the run Seat Toledo am I right lol?

Yes, also available from the seat accessory catalogue for a Leon.  They originally had "seat sport" embossed on them - that was removed as part of the refurb so they are now nice and smooth.
 
It's an ideal wheel for an octavia as its 7.5x18" ET51 like a neptune/zenith but only 11.2kg where a neptune is somewhere around 13.5kg, plus it's made by BBS Germany so top quality.

Also very easy to clean!

well, after 2 yrs 10 months and 87k miles I said farewell to my lovely vRS just before christmas. 

good news is that the new car is already here, and its a ..  Candy White vRS estate!   Yep, i loved the first one so much I ordered exactly the same again.  Only differences on this one are the black interior (black dash inserts and seats) with red stitching plus I ordered a sunroof on this one.

Full spec:
- Alcantara vRS Sports Upholstery
- Curtain Airbags
- Electric Sunroof
- Heated Front Seats
- Light Assistant with Rain Sensors and Auto Dim Rear View Mirror
- Maixdot Trip Computor
- Mobile Device Interface (ipod)
- Rear Parking Sensors
- Sunset Glass (tinted glass from b pillar back)
- Xenon Headlamps with AFS
- I-Pod connection cable

On the day it arrived, old and new side by side:









Some mods done already:

Audi knob:


Columbus nav (rns510) - that's thanks to Eddie-NL!


Fiscon:



I'm going to visit Alex @ AKS next week, after which it'll have billstein b16's, rear ARB, TT bushes and wishbones and a multifunction steering wheel :)

I also have a set of Neuspeeds to go on but these will only get fitted once the weather improves.



I have a few other things in the pipeline too..

Very nice Rob, that looks a cracker and you've got some nice plans for it too, well wear

Me likey especially the seats and black trim. 

TT wishbones with camber adjustment?

Any plans for software enhancements?

[E30Dom]

That looks really nice, and will look smart with those wheels...

This is a very good looking and solid motor. No wonder they're one of the old bills' ride of choice, particularly around here 

Very impressed with how well specc'ed the Skoda's come in high trim compared with the Audi's particularly. Yours has loads of kit from factory that I wouldn't have got on an S3 Black Edition

Cheers.  The great thing with the skodas is the list price is so low you can spec every option.

Nice.

I've heard the Revo map on the TSI is pretty good.

Just sayin' Rich. 

[rich83]

Ive heard that REVO are doing zero APR maps at the moment too......

[jmccullough160]

Sharp bus that very nice!!

[Vasekk]

Very nice. Love the interior. What is the reason to purchase almost the same car? Does TT wishbones allow better arch vs wheel better clearence or not?

[Hedge]

THe TT Wishbones and ends allow you to dial in negative camber at the front.
