Picked up this 2017 GSXS 750 a few weeks ago. Wasn't initially my first choice but a great deal came up and I wouldn't go back now... grown to love it

for things with a strong edge like the lettering etc its a great product... so simple to use. Gives a matte finish though... which suited me. The vRS badge was a little tricky though as I wanted the middle section cut out to show the colour, was quite fiddly. If you're happy with it all black though it couldn't be simpler

not sure the tone here is quite necessary? I think you may have misunderstood the intention of my post? I'm well aware that the earlier you look to change the more likely you are to be in negative equity at that point. What I asked was, what position people were finding themselves in at the end of their current PCP terms (i.e still in negative equity). I was also pointing out that it has depreciated faster than I would have expected at this stage of ownership. I'm not desperate to get out of my deal, indeed I'm more than happy to stay with the current car... however I've seen a couple of great deals recently and had the car not been so far in negative equity I may well have taken a small(ish) hit and jumped into something else. Not sure how any of your comments are relevant tbh? -

You do for handing back to Skoda etc. Doesn't apply if you want to trade early or at a different dealer unfortunately -
How are people getting on that are coming to the end of the PCP? What sort of value are they giving you at trade in etc? My car is only 18 months old and they value it at 14.5k leaving me with over 3k of negative equity is this likely to improve any in the next 18 months? Mine was on 0% finance so I kinda hoped it wouldn't be so far out

I know this has been covered a million time but I'm struggling lol. Firstly I'm wanting the H&R lowering springs but no idea the best place to buy from? can anyone provide direct links? Can I get the wrong ones or is there only one? Second, I wanted some spacers to fill the arch... again any direct links to the correct ones? I'm wanting a kit ideally as I believe I need longer bolts? I appreciate any help just don't wanna order the wrong stuff. Thanks

Low frequency 'boom' in cabin
NikEd replied to DaveBarr's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It'd be interesting to start a list of those affected... what year/model/body shape/wheel size/tyre to see if there is a pattern of those affected I'd still bet that it's a tiny proportion of cars sold that actually suffer this problem- 1,541 replies

NikEd replied to DaveBarr's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
still find this whole topic strange... my 2016 estate has no cabin boom at all, at least I've never noticed it and nobody that has travelled in my car has mentioned anything, which you think they would given how much an issue it is apparently on some cars? Plus road noise isn't an issue either?!?! my wife's mini is much worse and the qashqai I had before the ocatvia was noiser too. Strange really- 1,541 replies
