'14 Octavia VRS

[PMC555]

2014 Octavia VRS Petrol 6spd man (217bhp) in Race Blue
Got this over Christmas (off a RMS member), loving it so far, very smooth and comfortable,
quicker than I thought it was going to be and extremely roomy and practical.
Plenty of toys and a lot fresher than I've had for a long time
(2014 with only 18k) and I can get 37-39mpg very easily to work and back.
Just need to get used to FWD again.
Last time I drove FWD every day was 1999.....
Has black pack, Canton DAB Sound system, Winter pack (Heated seats mirrors and windscreen)
Pics are a bit dull as the sun was just about down by the time I had it polished this afternoon.

Would you have any interest in a set of the genuine 19" wheels for it? I bought a set for my estate and never gelled with the car.

How skoda have changed. That looks really smart inside and out. the best colour for it.

Have you a picture?
Loathed to change them as it rides really well on the 18s. (And I live down some really rough roads)
My A5 had 19s and ride quality was dreadful.

Ta anyway - not my cup of tea

Wheel upgrade narrowly avoided - now repeat after me:-
It doesn't need remapped
It doesn't need remapped
Etc

It defo does. Stage 1 is awesome on these. You could also look into the burger motorsport jb1 module.

The fleet - If some had told me 6 months ago I'd have a Volvo and a Skoda in the drive I wouldn't have believed them!

What size and price? Would they fit an estate?

They are 19x8 and are the best wheel choice for the mk3 in my opinion

They say things happen in 3's don't they - I'm not looking forward to the 3rd

1. Last week a van piled in to the car 2 behind me in the queue at the lights and bumped the cars in a domino effect into my back bumper - very light collision, but cracked bumper.
(New bumper being fitted at least so back to new, and at no expense to me, and no claim on my insurance.)

2.This week - Nearside dipped Zenon bulb stopped working - quoted £130 for a new one!!!!!!! WTF! (Managed to get an OEM Philips one for £65 in the end - but still WTF! £65 for a light bulb - its got bloody 4 of them.)

Not looking forward to next week!
