Alright from Glasgow.

Hi there how you all doing?

Looking to get a new Skoda VRS in June, or sooner if i can get rid of my current car.

So if anyone can point me in the right direction for tuning a Skoda in the Glasgow or Scotland area it would be much appreciated.

Cheers and speak to you soon.

There will be plenty of heads here that will point you in the right direction with the tuning. But that wont be me as i haven't a clue.

Hello, there's loads of scottish guys here, a lot of them use Star Performance in Kirkcaldy for performance mods. I used them for servicing, seemed good to me.

Cheers folks,

When i get the car il defo be up for meets etc, did consider the rest of the SVAG group but the Skoda fills my needs a lot more than the others to be honest.

Hey welcome to the site. Like yourself I am in the process of looking for a new car and have decided to get a Fabia Vrs. Shall be keeping an eye on this thread to see what Garage(s) are recommended as I am also from the Glasgow Area.

Good luck with the car hunting.

Welcome! Star Performance are highly recommended - from personal experience

What kind of vRS are you going to get

welcome to briskoda,i am from the Glasgow area myself & i already have a fabia vrs bought from parks of hamilton and they have been top notch with the minor problems i had with the car.

stuart_hatch · 04-01-2007, 23:56

from the glasgow area too here, have a look for ScottishVag, i local vag club in scotland (as if the title didnt give it away)

As for getting a Fabia VRS in june good idea, however bear in mind the new fabia is due to come out this year too!

Hi and welcome

I collect my Octavia vrs on Saturday and cannot wait. I had considered having it remapped at Star Performance so decided to get a insurance quote for it via Confused.com, only one insurer would consider insuring me and at a cost of £1400

That's £1050 more than I'm paying for it standard so maybe I'll not bother hehe

Bigw2069 · 05-01-2007, 00:52

Dont worry that the new Fabia is coming out this year, the vRS version will be a year or two behind it so the residuals will hold for a while,

And another vote for taking a wee trip to Star Performance, Jim and Co will have you right as rain in no time

Big A · 05-01-2007, 07:55

Welcome to the forum. Good to see another Glasgow member. Like the rest of the guys I'd recommend Star Performance too, and also St. Andrews Skoda for anything dealer. My dad has bought 2 Octavia's from them and I've pestered them a god few times and they have been top notch, both for servcing and customer service.
