And also this stiffens up the front end a treat !

Now you've had the strut brace on for a few weeks, has it made much of a difference and would you say it's worth getting one?? :thumbup:

It compliments the other mods that have been carried out. And yes worth every penny.

Thanks Pete. I've never been sure if the front and rear strut braces were worth it, so I'll add the front one to my list of things to buy. :D

Is that one of them ever growing list that never gets shorter like mine? ;)

:D Thats the one. I crossed off 17" spiders, 312mm brakes, PD160, RARB and then eibachs, remap, front strut and rear strut got added!!! :D

The thing is, i didn't even have this many plans at this point last year but then i got myself hooked back into Briskoda and now the money flows out as quick as it comes in!! :D

Car looks awesome!

I blame this forum for my bank account being always empty ;)

Ok update time. Our SE had some annoying lacquer peel on the tailgate spoiler. So a few calls to Skoda UK and with help from all at Saunders Abbott in Sidcup and now she's as good as new.

Hats off to Skoda UK customer service who dealt with the matter very professionally. They offered to cover 70 percent of the repair cost.Which I was happy with as we didn't purchase the car from new and also she is nearly six years old now.

Also another pic of her at the Graffiti tunnel meet

I wonder if i could get Skoda UK to cover 70% of the respray for my lacquer peel on the spoiler. You're the first person i've heard thats had any success with getting Skoda to cover some repairs for the spoiler, well done. :)

Can you start a new thread with lacquer peel process you followed, im guessing loads of furby owners would be keen to know what you did and see any paperwork you received ?

+1 I have the same problem. Can you explain in more detail, how you got this sorted?

I could be wrong but i have a feeling skoda is covering another one we are doing this week too so they seem to be doing some now

I might have to bring my car to yours then. ;)

Stunning what a fab well done!

Nice car

Dont know if you have or know about it but the coolant hoses to the left of your newly installed pd160 intake need a cable tie around them to pull them away from the pd160 as they will rub through in no time! Dont know if you have just the pic i can see has no cable ties :)

Thanks Jase we shall investigate this.

Yeah you'll sort it no bother its just the added width of the pd160 causes the coolant hose to rub and eventually rub through unless you strategically pull it out of the way with a cable tie! Probably already started to rub :)
