Sweet! Stinger is an interesting choice for sure - how was that?

Is the oil temp reading on the dash a good way to determine that the car's warm enough for more spirited driving? If so, what's a reasonable temp to want it at? Want to ensure I'm giving appropriate sympathy to the turbo mechanics of it.

Holy cow, I just saw your location, I'm from Two-Mile-House, a village near Newbridge (but lived in the UK 25 years). If you're ripping it out, let me know how much you want for the Canton amp/speakers

I'd start by reading the existing tpms posts on here if you hadn't seen them already, they were helpful to me when the error popped up on my way back from collecting my (new to me) car today..!

SE L Executive hatch 280PS TSI 4X4 Alcantara with DCS, KESSY, LED Plus, flappy paddle gearshift, rear seat drop from control in back of boot Collected it today.

Did you figure this out? It looks to me like that part is audi/vw bang and olufsen amp, I thought the skoda one was made by canton, or are they both equally compatible with the MIB2?

I'll tell you what I find funny about this industry is how they all seem to badmouth each other, like it's a basic part of their sales pitch. For instance the superchips lad told me other tuners steal superchips' maps and base theirs off that (neither he nor I named any specific other mapping companies in our discussion). Superchips have been mapping for 40 years though, and it reminded me that the last time I had an ecu remapped was almost 20 years ago... with superchips! And that was a great experience. So I told myself it's only poor branding and a naff outdated logo that's letting them down and booked in for Fri eve. We'll see how it all goes..

For anyone else who's thought of doing it, I can advise that I asked my local skoda dealer parts dept for pricing on the black sportline window trim, he said it's two pieces (top and bottom) each side of the car and his total came to over 400,best discount he could do got it to 380. I thought I'd check with a second dealer parts dept for the heck of it, they told me 8 pieces, and weren't sure if that included the rear quarter panels, and I stopped him when his pricing got as far as £780... I asked kopacek.com (super skoda) but they said they don't supply it. I found one superb at a breakers with the black trim, but it had already been sold. My local wrap place will wrap them black for £200. Not really the solution I want but I guess I'll have to go with it to dechrome

Haha ill give you that, I have a great memory of driving late at night (when bizarrely everything seems louder) past a very rough block of flats in a rough part of a rough town, two youts in hoodies - one way too Bix for the bmx he was on, trying to avoid handlebars with his knees sticking out and other jogging next to him, I let off the throttle, the cerbs let's a couple of bangs off, lad jumps off the bike instantly and they both hit the deck as fast as they can.. Seems they thought it was a drive-by.. Popping and banging cars weren't quite as common I guess then, I laughed for hours.

http://www.kopacek.com/Skoda/SUPERB-III/Bodykit/ Tried to order a bunch of stuff from them today but they're having problems couriering stuff to the UK at the moment, something brexit customs related. I told them to let me know when they'd sorted their shipping options. They have a few diffuser styles

Have only seen them on alibaba and the vendors don't last long, I guess skoda must be playing whack-a-mole trying to stop the various vendors. Photos out there of them on various 8P superbs, although putting them on that type of rim in the photo with a modern font was a bad idea.. HTB15JOeKpXXXXXKXpXXq6xXFXXXU.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg_.webp

Depends if you factor in the percentage of time you're pushing it when you're considering your speed..

I can't help thinking these might actually look weirdly cool/kitsch although I guess theres an equal chance of it just ending up looking tacky or not fitting in with the more modern angles of the 8V. If the alpina badges work on the bmw, which I think they do, I like to think these might work. Controversial idea I'm sure. This is what the skoda badge was like in 1905

I've spent the last 8 years driving an ecobox Toyota iq 1 litre, in an attempt to compensate for years of wasting money on fast cars before that (Cerbera, gallardo etc). A friend loaned me a 3 year old range rover sport 3.0d for the last few months which left me wanting more power going back to the iq (which can't really be made faster). Lockdown boredom finds me browsing used cars and the final straw was when I found the new shape superb with reasonable miles and disguising a golf r underneath was possible from the approved used network for £11500, less than 1/3 of its original OTR price at this spec (4wd,dsc etc) my 8 year ecobox streak finally snapped. My point is it will be far enough for me, but I know myself too well and know that I'll never rest knowing that only a remap is holding back even more potential, regardless of if I actually need that power (noone actually needs it haha)

So I've put my deposit down on a 280ps 4x4 superb in SE L Executive trim with some nice extras like dynamic chassis control, through the dealer approved used car network, bargained the dealer down to £11500 on a 66 plate with 55k miles. Picking it up in a few days. So.. here's the thing, I'm local to both vrs northampton (APR), superchips, and northampton motorsport (revo). APR and revo similarly priced, but revo allows future upgrading to stage2 and onward (not that I ever expect to), and on the revo I can get 10% off if I do both the dsg box and ecu - no such offer on the APR side. It'd be an easy choice if superchips wasn't in the mix, offering £100 off during Feb, meaning I can get their remap at £388 including VAT and they come out and do it on my drive. Would I be a cheapskate choosing the superchips option? it's very hard for me to quantify how much more value I'd get from spending more on the APR or REVO options, which if I'm not mistaken is down to how much time they invest in the development of their maps. How is the end consumer supposed to weigh up how carefully superchips have developed their map and tested it on this car vs how much revo or apr have?!

Hey folks, so I've put my deposit down on an approved used skoda from the dealer network. A 2017 Superb with 55k on it. Here's my vehicle history..
