rob_e's CW vRS - return to stock :(
« on: March 23, 2012, 10:03:13 am »
Just joined up on the forum, thought i'd post a "hello".

I'm an ex-mk5 GTI owner ('07 Blue Graphite 5 door) forced to get something bigger due to increasing size of the family.  I'm now running a 2010 Octavia vRS in Candy White. ** Update**  that 2010 car is now sold, replacement on p2 is another candy white vRS, 2013MY car reg'd Dec 2012.**

Factory fit I have; xenons, heated seats, parking bleepers, sunset glass, mdi, light assistant and maxidot.

I had a set of Eibachs and Koni FSD but junked these to get some weitec gt coilovers.

The car has a bunch of minor cosmetic tweaks and is currently a set of BBS RD256 in satin black.

I write a blog on the car on Pistonheads; here: http://www.pistonheads.com/members/showcar.asp?carId=115360




***** UPDATE ******

This 2010 vRS has now gone, and been replaced with another very similar 2012 (MY2013) vRS, see page 2.  The new car has a few different mods, including bilstein b16, OE MFSW and Columbus Nav, autotech rARB, TT wishbones, Neuspeed RSe07 wheels..

Cheers Mike.

Just to add, I've got a WALK and Autotech rear ARB to go on the car, plus a few other things in the pipeline..

Some great cars on here - hopefully I can pick up some good ideas and feedback, plus you guys have a lot more active for sale board so I'm on the look out for a few bits and bobs at the right price.

Yes, mine are smoothed out so no branding on them.
