I was thinking of painting the tail pipes gloss black once the winter is over. Not a bad choice;-)

My Sportline got 225/45/19 Continental Icecontact 2 -studded tyres for winter. A bit oversize but fit nicely, a bit narrower and a bit more rubber to soften the ride & give more clearance.

I want (gloss) black rims to go with the black details Sportline has. Phoenix is the only gloss black OEM rim for Superb so it got chosen for winter tyres. Apparently I'm not the only one wanting black rims for Sportline and the supply does not match the demand at the moment.

Got mine two days ago! Those rims will be replaced as soon as black Phoenix rims arrive from factory.

Luckily you're situated in an area where sub zero temperatures are not very common;-). And you guys have only a few years to waite until climate change takes care of your problems;-)

I would just add 4WD...you might miss that after Quattro...;-)

In our country we don't have think about that option, I think even the cheapest car on market has heated seats as standard. Quite understandable since we've just, like every winter, experienced temperatures below -40 c...

Hah, never thought that aspect. Then again, my first Superb arrives in February;-)

Superbs in Latvia really seem to be substandard compared to all other countries;-)

Yep, it is;-)

Supernova is not all black since it has a polished lip. Phoenix is available also all black (gloss) as seen in rainy pic a bit further above.

This is a bit fruitless debate. Some people (me included) enjoy the feeling of power, speed and an effortless driving that some extra power brings along. And some people don't need that or atleast are not willing to pay the big extra cost for that. And both ways are just fine. As said before, it would be very boring if we all would drive similar cars. Not much to discuss on auto forums;-)

It depends whether L&K has DCC or not. In many countries DCC is standard and it is 10 mm lower than normal chassis. In my eye SL still looks lower than just 5 mm, but I haven't made any measurements.

Hpoom, how do you find sport suspension with 19", still comfortable enough? What about noice? Mine is coming with double 19".

Sportline for less chrome, better seats and nicer cabin! The extras that L&K has standard can be picked from the catalogue;-)
