I have had my new baby (1.6 TDI DSG Elegance Hatch) for 1 week now and, so far, really impressed. However, I have just had wheels changed from 17" Denoms to 16" steel wheels for winter and am looking for some decent wheel trims to soften the ugliness of the steel!! Does anyone have any recommendations? Are any Skoda branded ones any good?

Had a call yesterday to say my car was ready for collection. So 17 weeks from order. On the bus up to Prague to pick it up

I received an update from my lease company today. Car (1.6TDI DSG) was ordered start of July and was quoted 6 weeks for delivery (I am in Czech). Now delivery pushed out to middle October so now 14 weeks!!! Oh well. Live goes on.

Been quoted 6 weeks but lets wait until I get official confirmation from leasing company!!

Good evening. A bit of background - I am English but have been living and working in Czech Republic (home of the beloved Skoda) for the past 10 years. I have been driving an Audi A6 2.5 TDI Estate (personal car) for the past 6 years but I now must part with it as I today ordered my new company car. An Octavia 1.6 TDI DSG Elegance Racing Blue with Beige interior with a few extras. Over here you do not get so many extras as standard compared to UK spec equivalent. Extras Ordered - Elegance Plus Paket - 17" Denom Wheels Tire Pressure Check Hill Hold Assist Parking Sensors Front and Rear Colour Maxi Dot Driver Activity Assistant 3 Spoke Leather Steering Wheel with DSG Paddles Drive Mode Selection Amundsen Navigation System Kessy System Been quoted 6 weeks for delivery. Lets wait and see!! Matt - aka czechinuk

Good afternoon. Just a quick hi from a UK expat living in Czech Republic. Just ordered new Octavia III 1.6 DSG Elegance.
