Really handy thanks

Found 2 sets so far, £30-55 seems to cover it. wondered if there was a particular brand that fits ŠKODA Octavia really well

BlackEdDSG started following Tyre sizes for 16” wheels on Octavia TDI (2016) , Wind Deflectors? , Swapping 16” alloys for black steels? and 4 others

I was curious about any pros/cons of adding wind deflectors to a standard mark 3 hatchback What’s good about them and which are the best ones to get? thanks as always

Currently driving a 2.0 TDI Octavia 3 with standard 16” alloys. I'm happy with the ride comfort etc but I wanted to change the appearance. option 1 is to get current alloys powder coated to matt black option 2 could be to sell the current alloys (excellent condition) and replace with black steel wheels which might almost pay for itself (or at least be cheaper than option 1). I’m sure I’m missing something here so feel free to explain / help many thanks

I would really like this too having had smartlink once before. I was told by main dealer that it was possible, booked it in and then was told that it wasn’t compatible. Mine is a 16plate 2.0 TDI SE. i think it might be v expensive if it is possible (£700ish). very keen to hear other experience and expertise -
I quite fancied buying some ready made sun blinds for the rear windows and the back screen for my 16 plate Octavia hatchback Anyone had any good / bad experiences that they can share? I’ve had to return one set already that were marked as 2014 Octavia hatchback but didn’t anywhere near fit! Happy to hear any ideas.

More questions! I'm looking for a one-piece shade for my back windscreen in an Octavia Hatchback (MY 2016) i have shades for the side rear windows but haven’t found what I’m looking for. feel free to point me in the right direction with any do’s / don’t. thanks as always

Yes I know what you mean about the trend for large wheels and thin tyres. Trade off of aesthetics v comfort is a constant pain! i did have 18” black wheels on my Black Edition and was constantly kerbing them. 19” in the Superb and now I’m back to 16” but the arches are so big that they look undersized. i have considered lowering slightly but the torsion bar rear suspension might not like it and I don’t want to find that out after a few hundred £ or more!

Just wondering if the 205/55/R16 are the only size for this model. The wheels do look a little lost in the space, when I had Saabs they were often 15 or 16” but always looked great. I’m hoping to keep the 16” alloys but somehow create a better appearance. What do I need to consider? All contributions most welcome.

And what I should have added is please can someone forward me the link to the update (if there is one) as a PM on here. Or [email protected] is email is better. Many many thanks
