Picked this up tonight for my new work runner.
Special edition VRS run out model and already becoming a classic in its own way.
1 owner with FSH and only 56k miles, mint condition apart from one rust scab on drivers door from giant stonechip and drivers mirror has a graze, so I will get them painted after the winter. Alloys need a refurb do might go grey ?

After having the M3 for 2 1/2 yrs I just wanted to cut the costs.
I will get it looking decent in a few months.
Refurb the alloys grey, black wrap the grill, paint done and corrected.

I've had a few blue cars but a lot of red cars do seem to make their way into my drive ;-)
I've still got the M3 until April but I have been looking for the Ltd Ed VRS for a few weeks and as there is only 849 left, this one was on my doorstep with the decent miles and 1 owner with the perfect service history, so I will pop some winter tyres on it and it will be my snow plough 😊

Gave the car a proper snow foam, wash, dry, polish and then wax, all the door shuts, under the bonnet, inside the tailgate, full interior valet, screen wash, checked fluids, air in tyres - basically 5 hrs of tlc.
Outcome is its a decent clean car for 7 yrs old except for RUST 😁
There is the blister on the drivers door that I knew about but now the weather is dry and the car is clean I have noticed blistering in both rear arches, couple of tiny blisters on the tailgate and 1 on the passenger door.
The bonnet has plenty stonechips so a serious trip to the bodyshop is now required.
Well cheesed off

Perhaps worth trying to see if Skoda's 10yr warranty will cover?

IMO the rear arches and possibly tailgate should get done under warranty as the rust is from the inside and not chips.
The 2 door bottoms will be mine to pay for as will the bonnet if I choose to get it done.
I think they map to 190bhp, so it will be bl**dy rapid 😊Thanks Rhys, after 5 hrs of cleaning today I noticed rust blisters on rear arches, both front door bottoms and tailgate. They are small but it will go into the shop through winter to sort them as well as the scuffed mirror and stone chipped bonnet.

They are paying for both rear arches and tailgate and I will pay for both front door bottoms snd mirror.
Delighted.
Also put on my new black 15" steelies with Yokohama winter tyres for the forthcoming winter.
Going to put the new black Skoda badges on the car and probably going to refurb the alloys either grey but more likely black.

They don't sit long as there was only 1000 made, usually there's around 10 for sale all between £4500 and £6500.
Cheaper cars with over 100k miles and the dearer cars with less owners and miles.
I was lucky as mine is dub 60k miles with 1 owner.
