At least it's in its natural agri habitat. :P

Finally got a chance to give the car a quick wash yesterday. Nice to have a black car again.

Lovely VRS, that's the first facelift i've seen that looks well.

Roads are a joke at the minute. Washed mine on Friday for a mate's wedding and it was filthy by the time we got to the church. Almost pointless washing in this weather.

That’s the best looking VRS around. I’ll probably be shot for saying this but those wheels do not suit it one bit.

Was never a fan of them myself. Hate the piano black look they have when clean. I was nearly going to ask if a could swap the wheels from my Superb when I traded it in.:D

That Octavia is a lovely yoke.

I think those wheels are some of the nicest wheels at the moment.

It does actually looks really well, I like it, but I agree on wheels. They just dont fit and look too big for the car. It almost make it look like some of those lifted american rapper mobiles with oversized rims.

I think those wheels are lovely, really suit the car being in black and everything! I hope it's a petrol :pac:!

It is indeed a petrol, the 245 version. I like the way it doesn't stand out too much compared with the diesel versions.

My RS is finally here! Picking it up Saturday. Custom order as its not a colour you can get over here and it's manual.

Vicxas

Beautiful car best of luck with it! I've always wondered can you order custom things that you cant normally get here.

Can this also be done for car specs? As the specs on the UK version of a Mazda 6 are much better than the paddy spec we have here.

Why not wait 2019 to register???

Muppet Man

Well done on the colour... massive fan of that green. Really pops out from the crowd for a car like that. how long was the order time from the deposit being paid?

I got an extra $1250 off on roads* and finance at cost so they can make Dec numbers. It'll make no difference in the end, being manual and green will have a far bigger impact. Year is much less of a thing over here in NZ too, December tends to be one of the busiest months...

* I can't even remember do you pay anything like that in Ireland?, but essentially: pre delivery inspection, wof(nct), registration, full tank, groom and that kind of thing.

It was ordered in August too and was touch and go whether it would make the boat it did, VAG system had it noted as potentially Feb

3rd week of August I paid iirc. The manual over here is indent only anyway and I'm sure the WLTP regs probably delayed it a bit. Bit of a panic order in the end as the week before VW deleted all their manual performance models for 2019 so I wasn't willing to risk waiting to 2019 to order it in case Skoda dropped the manual too. It was between the green and the matt grey, as soon as they confirmed they could do the green though it had to be that!

I just recently bought an Octavia RS, mine is a black combo and it's been great so far. Green looks pretty good on that one though.

That's class there is a green one here in Limerick that I see quite often and it really stands out.

Great choice.
Rallye green was my first choice when I was changing my white one back in 2012, but Couldn't see one in the flesh so ordered red instead.
Often regretted not just buying the green though.
Well wear with it.
I queried a dragon green sportline superb recently and was told by the dealer that I would have to have it ordered by mid January to have it for August as it is a special order.

Used to see that around Shannon a lot last year, haven’t seen it in ages.

Seen that green on the little Skodas (fabia/citigo) not an Octavia, hmmm, I wouldn't.
