But thats more than one word

Will yours be an addition to the fleet? Or will you be doing a "Jason" and transplanting everything from one Fabia onto another?

I'm sure Stu will have more details than me, but full leather was mentioned. Engine is to be the same as now.

Re: Limited Edition vRS

Bugger, a friend has just ordered one in black and is transfering the leather over from his current VRS.

I assume this would be retailing at the same price as the standard VRS too.

Sounds nice, although that race blue is getting a really common site around here on the octy

Re: Limited Edition vRS

Skoda website has 'Sprint Yellow' now (not Lemon) for the Fabia vRS; as used on the Octavia vRS.

Too many blue cars around (and black, and silver, and grey etc etc) !!

Sprint yellow with black leather will be good; anthracite wheels?

That'll be the same dealers that didn't realise that a car previously owned by Skoda UK should not be classed as 'one private former owner' when they sold it too me! /Rant mode off.

Cool Re: Limited Edition vRS

Blue with white rally alloys would be mint IMO

Wonder if anyone will go the extra mile and red bull decal it

Would you be allowed to that? What with advertising laws etc?

Coupled with a WRC spoiler, would look mint.
