PIcked up a VZ Extreme on Saturday from Snows Southampton (who were very good); Iridescent Plasma with black roof - that wasn't my first choice, but it's growing on me. It replaced a Fabia MK1 vRS (which I've had from new). Absolute blast to drive around the twisty bits, comfy on the motorway. Spacewise, I'm 6' tall, and sat in the centre rear seat with no major issues.

Nice colour first VZ Extreme I have seen in plasma as only ever seen Maganese Green. They are a hoot to drive swapped out of an Ibiza for mine, such a fun car to drive!
 
You are probably the first person to post pictures of a VZ Extreme with plasma color. The contrasty look with the tyres works suprisingly good imo.

I have a VZ ordered in default fiord Blue (no black roof) with the long range 440 km Rebel copper accent tyres and copper accents at the front and rear diffuser but will probably get it at like end of October/early November is my best guess. I have played with the thought of removing the aero covers after having seen some videos with them removed, makes the tyres look 1 size bigger. With the plasma color the aero covers fits better as it's almost the same color as the body paint but with Fiord Blue it might fit less good as there's no other light grey color for it to match against with that config. Will have 18" winter tyres with some black metal rims offered by the Cupra dealer for Cupra cars installed from start eitherway by the looks of things so going to have to wait til next summer to see how it matches with the Rebel tyres...

Looks very good 😎. Interesting to see the ‘Rebel’ name is actually on the grey aerodynamic trim piece on the 19” Rebel alloy wheels. Maybe a nod to the name of the initial pre-production concept car; the Urban Rebel.

I was worried about how the green accents in the wheels would look, but it works very well. No photo that I've yet seen captures the plasma very well.

Press the Cupra button, foot down, and I'm passed before I realise it. Once I've fixed the rear suspension on, what is now, my daughter's vRS, I want to do a back-to-back straight-line comparison.

If I could work out how to do it, I would!

Ahh yes you'll need to be:
  • You have been registered for at least 14 days

I was sure I was in the right place, but the 14 days would do it, thank you.

The sulphur accents look fine against the plasma paint and I definitely prefer that colour over manganese, I think thats a nice looking car (y)
The wheel trims also go fine with the grey paint.

Theres also a VZ Extreme in plasma for sale on autotrader (Portsmouth Cupra)
