That’s interesting - why would they be available via Seat but not Skoda? The workings of VAG are sometimes quite mysterious, and I thought they all used ETKA? Anyway, I’m currently waiting for some parts to arrive from Slovakia…

It’s a possibility I guess, though they’re definitely not painted. It had occurred to me they’ve just faded as it’s lived outside for at least 5 years, though you’d expect that to be a bit variable over the car as a whole if it were that. It’s the two part numbers that’s confusing me. Why have two if they’re all satin black? I might get some 7DL and test it.

This may be slightly esoteric knowledge but I have a grey MY 2016 Octavia 3 Scout. Does anybody know what colour the plastic body trims are on it? ETKA shows two parts numbers for them, one with the suffix 9B9 - Satin Black. I need/want to replace the trims around the left hand fog light and the lower wheel arch trim but the only parts that seem to be available are 9B9 and I’m pretty sure mine are actually dark grey, which I assume are the non 9B9 part numbers. I thought I’d found at least one of them, new, in Italy, which has just arrived but turns out to be 9B9, Satin Black, and there is a subtle but obvious colour difference between it and the one on the car. Frustratingly, the colour suffix doesn’t appear on the part itself, that’s only recorded on the original part number label on the packaging, so even sourcing them from a breakers, if I could find, is no guarantee of them being the right colour. Does anybody have any knowledge of this? Thanks!

Hello and Happy Easter! New to both the forum and Skoda ownership, with a MY16 Octavia Scout 140. I was wondering if there is a software update for my Amundsen? Thanks in advance...
