What have you done to your Superb III today?
@Colin170CRI need to order some too. It's the 17mm variant we need, right? Let us know how the Amazon ones are and if they fit OK.

What have you done to your Superb III today?
Had the fuel evap canister replaced to fix a strong smell of fuel that was coming from the offside wheel arch. Had noticed the smell for a few weeks, and after a bit of forum searching, found this was the most likely cause, not just on Skodas but other VAG cars too. My mechanic checked for other possible causes too, but agreed with the diagnosis, and it does seem to have fixed the problem. Only a cheap part and quick to fit - around £36 for the OEM part, then a simple matter of removing the wheel and peeling back the arch liner and swapping the canister for the new one. This week it's also had a major service including DSG oil service, and is now running beautifully. This is for my 2018 220 Sportline. Winter tyres on today too. On another note, recently upgraded my summer tyres to Michelin PS4Ss all round, and the difference from the factory Pirellis is absolutely night and day. What a brilliant tyre - totally changes the drive, and instant traction when you put your foot down.

I wish they had an option to exclude the rear screen shades. I can't fit them as my rear dashcam gets in the way. Presumably would be a bit cheaper with just the 6 pieces, but they were a great investment nonetheless.

Correct - it's standard on L&K I believe, but optional on other specs. I don't have them on my 2018 Sportline, but I bought Carshades and they're fantastic - fit and forget. I know people who have got Carshades despite also having the built-in shades, as I don't believe the built-in ones cover the full window - there are small gaps at either side that can still allow the sun to get in the eyes of the rear passengers. Car Shades don't have this issue as they fit snugly in the window frame with no gaps. I bought mine direct from Carshades.

Lol - I had the same thought about the white stitching with 3 kids in the back! Will go for the black if I order them. The ability to wipe down and vacuum easily is very appealing.

@UndertheRadarThey look great! Are they from Diamond Car Mats, by any chance? Are there any drawbacks with them? I was wondering how the non-slip heel pad feels in the driver's footwell when operating the pedals.
