Buying a used Superb Sportline Estate, what options to look for?
There's plenty of written guides and YouTube videos about how to enable it using VCDS on pre-facelift cars but apparently it's slightly different on the facelift model. There are 10+ changes to be made so I'd rather wait to find a definite guide for the facelift model. To be honest I had it in my old Octavia and hated it, but having just done Leeds > London and back I've found the ACC amazing so was curious to see them working together. There's this but all the instructions seem to be scattered around several posts

An odd one, according to the 2022 brochure lane assist and blind spot detection (side assist) came together. My car has side assist but no lane assist 🤷♀️

Protective film for the rear bumper
I bought the film for £35 from eBay so will see how it goes 👍

Protective film for the rear bumper
Does anyone have any experience with this protective film from Skoda (3V9061197), if so is it any good? I'd prefer something more discreet like this than the black plastic protectors

Rear number plate plastic screw size
I drove through France/Belgium/Holland last year and all the UK cars that I saw had the blue background, including mine. I'm sure it will be fine.

Rear number plate plastic screw size
I think as long as you stick to something like this you should be fine They have many variations like the following which i would avoid!

Rear number plate plastic screw size
So they recommend no blue background behind the UK and union jack? That would make the Halfords stickers wrong https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-accessories/exterior-styling/uk-over-labels-for-gb-reg-plates-718926.html I went with the stickers last year to Belgium and Holland, there's wasn't enough room on the old Superb reg plate to put the stickers on though, hence new plates.

Rear number plate plastic screw size
Plates are fitted, clamped the old plate over the new one and drilled through the old plate holes into the new.

Rear number plate plastic screw size
All the eBay ones seem to be M6, I'll try that.

Rear number plate plastic screw size
I would've thought it would be a standard size for all Superbs. The thread that the plastic screw/bolt goes into looks to be factory fitted at the rear, unlike the front which just uses a metal screw into the bumper

Rear number plate plastic screw size
Hi all, I've just switched my number plate to one with the UK logo and need to get a different colour plastic screw for the rear plate (OCD 🤣). Does anyone know the correct M size for the plastic screw on the facelift Superb? eBay sell single screw of various size, M4/M6 etc

Facelift boot side storage compartment
I just got the AA triangle from Amazon, £8, probably triple that from Skoda. Mine does have the holes for the umbrella on both sides, at £30 each though I don't think i'll bother!
-
Facelift boot side storage compartment
Do you mean near the spare wheel? I've just bought one so need to stash it somewhere. It seems the last owner stripped the car of everything, both umbrella's are missing 😪, left me a crappy road angel dashcam though 🤣
-
Facelift boot side storage compartment
Mine came empty, no built-in warning triangle like the Octavia which is annoying as i need one for a Euro trip soon. I should've kept the one from the Octavia!
-
Facelift boot side storage compartment
Ah I see, so there's nothing behind where that piece came off? Seems like a waste of space, on my old Octavia and the blue car above the side compartment goes down level with the boot floor.

Facelift boot side storage compartment
Hi all, I picked up my Superb this week and was wondering if anyone know what this is for at the bottom of the side storage sections. Upon opening the storage the base is above this section, is something hiding behind it!? The plastic cover comes off to reveal nothing!

Superb MKIII owners register
Picked up mine this week, moving from a 2014 Octavia VRS. 72 plate Sportline TSI with panoramic roof, DCC (can't tell what that actually does) and funky black wheels. No rear parking camera so that's getting fitted next week.

Mud flaps on facelift model

Mud flaps on facelift model
Hi all, does anyone know if the mud flaps for the Superb facelift model are the same as the pre-facelift model? Some advertise them as 2015-21, some to 24

@leolito thanks for the link! Matrix lights look to be standard on the Sportline, at least 2021+ and almost all cars on the market at the moment have VC so should be okay with those 2. Personally, I don't like leather seats in cars so i'll be happy with the alcantara n the Sportline! It could be a long wait! There is a Meteor Grey 280 on sale at the moment which i'm tempted with but it has no sunroof.

I'm going to hold out for one with a pan roof, might take a while as I want meteor grey too. Only seen 1 for sale in the past 3 months.
-

Thanks, LED's and ACC look to be standard on the Sportline. Is the pan roof bad on the Superb? I had one on an A4 estate a few years back and loved it, unfortunately the car lasted 3 months before it was stolen

Buying a used Superb Sportline Estate, what options to look for?
I'm on the lookout for a 21-23 2.0 TSI Superb Sportline Estate, I don't know much about what was standard spec at the time and what was optional. I definitely want virtual cockpit and preferably rear camera but not so fussed about that as it's a relatively cheap retrofit. Can anyone recommend any other options i should lookout for?
