Fitted my AP coilies a while ago now and have only just found the time to give it a proper wash and polish, including wheel removal and protection.
C & C welcome

Cheers mate. Thought I'd try something a little different, not seen another VRS with badges like that. In the pictures, you can see a hint of green and red, but in person, that's not noticeable, so I'm not sure quite what's happened in the photos! Makes is look a little 'meaner' I think, lol.

Looking good mate, I think people have under estimated the whole VRS range tbh.

Smart, these on Octavia VRs wheels are sexual. Whats mileage on it?

Have been thinking about getting one of these next year, when they are even cheaper.
What sort of mpg are they?

Around town high 40's, motorway will see high 50's. My standard pd130 would never go below 40mpg even thrashing it constantly!

I have toyed with the idea of Octavia wheels, but have a couple of other ideas at the moment This is a baby, it's only on 55k miles!

As for mpg, if I drive like a granny, I can see mid 60s, normal driving mid 50s, however, these figures off the trip computer are a little optimistic, so it's more like late 50s and early 50s I'd guess.
Thanks for the positive comments

50s under any driving condition is optimistic IMO.

Yeah, the seats are a biatch to keep anywhere near clean. May consider a leather re-trim next year if I've still got it.

Really really like these and especially your one! There seems to be a few nice ones popping up now and then.
I have been seriously looking into these over the past 2 or so months. I was looking at the TDi Leon but these seem to have something a lot nicer going on about them!

Unlesz you need a bigger car then your better off going for the smaller and lighter model
