Hot 
Exactly how they should come standard!
Another note, do they come with Cruise Control as standard? I presume it's an optional extra as some have it and some don't.
That isnt standard mate. Thats been lowerd and arnt they octavia VRS rims?
And no i dont think cruise control did come as standard!
I think he is saying thats how Skoda should of made it as standard

Matty hit the nail on the head there, I meant that's how they should come
Pow, is that an offer to help 
Just phoned up the guy in the eBay ad I posted, he offered me 2k for my car in part-ex, yeah ok
My choice of colours is black or silver. I know black will be a bitch to keep clean but damn it's sexy  Shame they don't do a white one!
Link to Neil's project thread
I had a read through last night, made me want one even more

Cracking car, motorway journeys we have seen 64mpg taking it nice and steady, interior gets dirty very easy but thats the only thing i can fault it on. Ours may be up for sale at the right price as we are looking to upgrade to a larger car as its not the most practical family car, however its replacement will be an octavia VRS

I looked at them when i was getting rid of the Corsa. Wanted 5 doors, preferably a diesel and cheap to run.
Just wasn't too sure on the styling and knew i would have changed it within months of ownership.

I've now fitted the FMIC to mine, just waiting for the new turbo to turn up. Unfortunetely haven't got a Digi Camera at the mo, will update thread when I can. I hope the message I sent you helped Graham.

Yeah they kinda have 300bhp 200sx's and stuff, so won't be that impressed....
However they practically do a tank of fuel on idle

I love my VRS, always puts a smile on my face!
From a tank i get 450miles, tank is apparently 45L but have never been able to get more than 40L in there even when near empty!
I sadly have to sell mine because of money issues at the moment, but am putting it off for aslong as possible. I ve had no problems with it at all, feels solid.
Handling wise i ve never had a problem with it, maybe because i ve never driven like a cunt in it but it does feels confident when driven fast as standard.
I uprated my brakes to mintex pads and perfomance discs and it brakes very well indeed!
Mines a 2004 reg, 51k on the clock and looking to sell it for £5,000

My dads has cruise control, such a good invention to battle average speed cameras. Stick it on and you dont have to keep checking your speedo all the time.
The boot will fit a sub and tools in just if you dont have a massive sub box. Do you have the fiesta in your sig at the moment? I think the boot is a little bit smaller than that
just found something for you

O and the turbo thing was just a one off thing I think, it was just that the seal hadn't been put on correctly so was leaking oil, Ive never heard of it happening to another one though

Thanks antnee, plenty enough room in there, it's only a 10" so should be fine.
psycho sport that seems a decent price, should sell no problem with that. What colour is it?
I think Cruise control is something I want to have...would rather it came with it than having to get it fitted...

Yes you know, I'd be installing Xenons immediately if it didn't come with it!
Silver or Black I'm looking at, but I don't mind Red either
