Whats active head rests? What colour for new car? RED/SILVER/WHITE

**VRStu** · 13-04-2007, 17:48

From those three choices - Silver.

Harry_vRS · 13-04-2007, 17:50

None get blue or black.

Apart from buying the Octavia in the first place, going for silver is the second worst decision I made.

Active head restriants are mentioned in the above link

gordysmit · 13-04-2007, 17:59

I was thinking that but just wanted to save the 350 but RED goes pink / white goes yellow silver looks good all weathers ! But yes may like silver. Black shows marks/ scratches Thats why I sold my fabia vrs. Blue every blue car I have had bad luck with the car

Harry_vRS · 13-04-2007, 18:05

Silver looks sh!te, unless its spotless IMO.

It doesn't stand out enough for me now. The Octavia is bland enough as it is, so it needs the blue to bring it out that bit more.

gordysmit · 13-04-2007, 18:05

Active head restriants Not really worth the money then? Think I will X that off the list then.

moley · 13-04-2007, 18:10

I've got a silver octy Mk11 and the other half has a silver Fabia, so I reckon silvers the colour!

Jonno VRs · 13-04-2007, 18:17

I think Race Blue looks good - I sometimes wish I'd gone for that instead of always having black cars!

Black scratches soooo easily! Everytime I clean it I end up having to polish out scratches! Must be thin paint.

gordysmit · 13-04-2007, 18:42

Is it cheaper to get cc fitted factroy or get retro fit?

Harry_vRS · 13-04-2007, 18:46

Stu's Cruise Control is excellent value for money and a great service is provided so I'm told. He's the man to ask.

**VRStu** · 13-04-2007, 19:25

If you can get it at the factory then get it. If you are having a car from the UK stock don't let it be a deal breaker as it can be fitted later.

The answer to this question is quite simple, and is made even more so by the posts above....choose the colour you prefer.

Depends on how high you spec safety items.

Safety items are not really a issue! not really bothed about them. And as for the colour still dont know red or silver?

bahnstormer vrs · 14-04-2007, 13:07

Get RED, save £350 and spend it on B14 alloys. Cruise - Yes. Active H'rest - No

gordysmit · 14-04-2007, 16:03

Well just come back from skoda garage and ordered this spec VRS, RED, 18" ALLOYS, DUEL CLIMATE JUMBO BOX,XENON LAMPS,REAR SUNBLIND,MAXI DOT, AUTO LIGHT WIPERS,

gordysmit · 14-04-2007, 16:06

Delivery june some time?

postmanpat · 14-04-2007, 16:08

should have gone for yellow

**VRStu** · 14-04-2007, 16:57

What's Duel Climate then - Does it draw pistols and fight over which side to cool down??

I've got the tunnel lights on mine - I find it very useful, especially good when you lock the car and walk away with the headlights still on and you see passers by thinking shall I tell him or not.
