Skoda's new Limited Black Edition
frankjbell replied to saurabhdutt's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I was told that it was at UK port last Tuesday and think its still there. I am in a different boat :-o though as mine is going to Northern Ireland. Above question on album art....think it is embedded in the mp3 itself. There is a thread here on it. -

Problems insuring Black Edition Octavia
frankjbell replied to RootBoost's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It should be on insurance databases relatively soon, I know the black edition is listed on car valuation databases so would imagine that insurance databases also have to be updated on a regular basis. -
Roof bars, fitting time and consumption
frankjbell replied to toni8b's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
I have the thule aero bars which I leave with thule bike racks attached. Like Phil-E I just set the roof bars on when I need to carry the bikes. With the aero bars you just turn then ends and then lock them - takes about 5 minutes. So far as difference in consumption - this is minimal without bikes fitted but definitely noticeable with. Also there is noticeable wind noise with just the bars and racks attached, this may be another reason you don't want to leave them permanently on. Despite them marketing as the quietest bars ever it is fairly irrelevant if you leave the racks attached. -

Thanks for the info. Just wondering.......did the dealer offer you the choice? Any additional cost for changing them? -

Hi, I have ordered a white black edition but am thinking of changing the wheels when it arrives as not totally convinced. Any more photos that others have of this setup would be much appreciated to help me make up my mind. Have already seen your photos saurabhdutt (nice photos by the way) and think the car looks good, just trying to decide if they are for me. Up close are they matt black or do they reflect the light much?
