Well, a "Sportline 1.5 with 19-inch alloy wheels" will have a teeth chipping and osteopath pleasing ride.

Your dealer should be able to give you the code - that's how I got mine and I made a small batch up at my usual body shop,

I'm rather mystified by some of the comments here. FWIW, I have no issues with paint chipping or the build quality of this car in general, in fact I think these things are as well screwed together as most others I've had. The standard of fit and finish is at least equal to that of my previous Golf, which was excellent. To date I've covered only 7,000km in the Octavia, including some long country runs in the company of many large trucks. To answer the OP's question I went over my bonnet area with a fine tooth comb this morning and found absolutely no sign of paint chips - maybe I've just been lucky, who knows? As time and distance goes on it's inevitable the odd chip or three will occur, as on every car I've ever owned. It helps that we don't have the curse of salted roads in this part of the world, which together with dwelling a little away from the coast means the likelihood of rust appearing anywhere on the car is virtually non-existent.     

Hello all,   I own a 2010 Skoda Yeti, 1.2L TSI.  I drove the car with two friends to Dakar in Senegal.  We then got so nostalgic for the car that we decided to drive it back.  In Southern Spain, we made the grievous mistake of pouring oil cleaner (not petrol cleaner) in the petrol tank (there had been some water that had gotten in with bad Mauritanian petrol).  The car has never been the same since.  The check engine lights came on and I had to drive the rest of the way in no higher than 3rd gear!  Couldn’t accelerate past 35-40 MPH.  Nightmare.  Multiple rounds of petrol cleaner and fresh tanks of petrol have not solved the issue, it would seem.   Cash was low since then and I didn’t drive the car very much.  I brought it in for repairs a couple months ago and the situation was (I thought) resolved- no more lights, got up to speed well, mechanic adamant it had been fixed.  That said, I didn’t drive it since then.     I just went on a 60 mile drive to Southampton port and 15 miles in, the engine began to struggle again in the higher gears (though no light).  It got up to speed, but definitely not as high as it could previously — huge amount of overheating.  It also rattles when idling.  The engine is hot and stays hot (aluminum?) for a while.  So things are unresolved, clearly.  Does anyone know what the situation may be?  About 144,000 miles on it.   To add another interesting wrinkle, the Yeti is on its way to North America now for several months of touring- I noticed the issue on the way to the ship.  Couldn’t cancel things because I’d already prepaid an exorbitant rate.  Hoping that if there isn’t a reasonable fix, a VW mechanic will be able to help out there.   I’m sure you don’t see posts as ridiculous as this too often, so I’m hoping I can get some insight from all you knowledgeable people.   I’m not a car person, sadly, and a couple thoughts have been offered to me by those who are — could it be catalytic converter?  I don’t understand how nothing is coming up on the diagnostic, and I asked the mechanics to take a look at the fuel injectors, fuel/oil filters, and to make sure there's no water getting in the fuel (head gasket issue?).   Thanks for your time.
