gtjunior · 06-05-2006, 16:02

Took my fabia vrs in to the dealer yes2day and got talking as you do and he let slip that there changing the Oct Vrs calipers to red WHY?? he didnt know but why not keep the 'skoda' green??

redcupratdi · 06-05-2006, 16:10

don't believe dealers they know squat , ask them a fiqure uhhh?!?!?!

gtjunior · 06-05-2006, 16:26

it was on his same list of the fabia vrs getting colour coded door handles though too hence why i think its true, Are seat leon calipers red??

**GAFF** · 06-05-2006, 16:27

Imho they look better in Green, not as in your face. Luckily I already have mine

Lummox · 06-05-2006, 16:32

Ive now heard the calipers are going red, shame i think.

thegavsters · 06-05-2006, 16:34

All I would ask skoda is "whats the point?" I like the green too as its different from the rest of them.

**GAFF** · 06-05-2006, 16:42

Start a poll and send them in the results, maybe they might take some notice

iam staying to my furby vrs but if i was going for a octy vrs no way would i want it with damm red calipers.

**VRStu** · 06-05-2006, 16:54

Wonder if you could special order them in the minz green?

What would happen if you had one replaced under warranty?

gtjunior · 06-05-2006, 17:05

Warranty lost knowing skoda

mumphie · 06-05-2006, 22:25
