my front springs have distinctive coloured dots - 2 pink + 2 blue on both . Can anyone please advise on what they signify. I've a 1.2 TSI Outdoor model.

HI stephmobile - not as yet.

I am another who is looking to get mine changed. Does anyone know of someone in Worcester area that could do that for me please ?

Also looking for replacement front seats - have been trying to shape a foam block to fit the base (and me) but it's proving to be a simple idea but in practice difficult to get the desired result !

Fabcol/Colin - obviously we are members of the same club !

that's providing my wallet forgets about buying the new rims of course !

Quite right Expatman - it's become an OTT issue - one of those things that's just got stuck in my mind - and totally out of proportion. After a couple of months I know I will forget all about it.

have just ordered new rims 16" + Goodyear All Seasons Gen 2 - but think I may have made a less than optimum choice of tyre size given that the wheel arch gap with my current 17" + 225/50 tyres looks rather high to me. The new tyres are 215/60 which(according to tyre calculator sites) will slightly decrease the wheel arch gap albeit by only c 4mm, but it seems that 205/55 would decrease it by 12.5 mm which cosmetically would look better ! So am now rapidly trying to decide whether it's worthwhile amending my order.......

Expatman: - The new rims will almost certainly not be Skoda originals. They will most likely be new Dezent or Alutec

Follow up question to my OP - Centre wheel caps - will existing Skoda wheel caps on my 17" also fit new 16" wheels - or is does that depend on the make of the new rims ?

Interesting thought Expatman ! Although I'd rather not spend £1k I prefer to spend it and have both angles covered rather than just get the tyres for the 17", and then wish I'd got the 16" in the first place. As it is I will probably defer any wheel/tyre purchase for a month or so - as having acquired my Yeti only 2 wks ago, i then spent the next 7 days in hospital - since when my driving has consisted of just one 5 mile shop - so hardly enough to make firm decision about any changes !!!!! Meantime thanks to all those who have contributed so helpfully to this thread.
