The Superb III Picture thread
I used to have hub-centric spacers before when I had the factory rims, but not anymore since I got my aftermarket rims. With the aftermarket rims the wider rim and offset combo make it sit almost the same as I had with the spacers. Before Spacers:- 12mm front, 10mm rear Rims:- Factory 19x8 ET44 Tyres:- 245/40/19 Now Spacers:- None Rims:- Rotiform 19x8.5 ET35 Tyres:- 245/40/19

!!!NEED ANSWERS!!! Skoda Superb 3 Headlights
Retrofitting the Facelift Superb headlights to the pre-facelift model like urs is possible, but it's a big job. Ur options r:- 1. Keep ur existing headlights, get better performance bulbs 2. Retrofit pre-facelift Bi-Xenon version headlights. This will however require new headlight units, D3S xenon bulbs, levelling sensors, AFS modules, power ballasts, light control modules, upgraded BCM, parameter files and coding. 3. Retrofit facelift Bi-Xenon version headlights. This is even more complex, but doable. In addition to the above, u will also need a completely different wiring loom, new gateway and BCM modules, facelift headlight units, facelift bumper, and possibly facelift front qtr panels. I would stick to Option 1 unless u have deep pockets.....very deep.

The 280PS Thread
U can use the same fitting points, however u can't use the existing Torx screws. They're too small and not wide enough. U need an Undertray Fitting Kit. It comes with:- - 10x Extra long Torx Screws with washers - 3x WHT 000 729 A - hexagon socket head bolt, self-locking,(M8x20mm)

The 280PS Thread
Only the TDi and Scout models got the full length front undertray. The VW All-track models also use it. It goes all the way to the sub-frame. All other models get the standard short length cover that doesn't cover the sump. I recently changed mine for the full length version. I had to get the DSG version as it requires the two cutouts to allow airflow directly onto the DSG transmission. In addition, I also got the centre exhaust tunnel cover. Mine came with all other underbody aero covers, minus 6a & 6b as the 220 has dual exhausts. Comparison:- Centre Exhaust (#2) + Full length cover (#1):- Underbody Aero options:-

Retrofitting rear view mirror USB port
Ah yes, that would make sense for it to b power only! That would make the retrofit a whole lot easier then π

Retrofitting rear view mirror USB port
I would b very surprised if u have the wiring for the USB port location on the rear view mirror. In theory, in order to add an additional USB port, that can b seen/used by the MIB infotainment unit will require a USB hub module. Hence u would need:- - a USB hub - additional USB port - USB hub wiring - USB port wiring

What have you done to your Superb III today?
My Blackvue Dashcam's Night vision stopped working, after 5 yrs. So I decided to replace it with the 70mai Omni 360 Dashcam, and whilst I was hardwiring it, I tidied up the fuse wiring too. I've used the following fuse locations for the dashcam:- #16 - Phonebox (permanent) #47 - Rear Window Wiper (switched)

My Car Does Not Stop/Brake Automatically When A Car stationary In Front Of Me
@enoktakenokta - Traffic Jam Assist and Adaptive cruise both work by "following a moving object". It needs a reference. Hence in traffic, if ur behind a moving car in ur lane, and it comes to a stop, ur car will stop too. If it moves off, urs will follow. That's wat ACC does. If however there is no one in front of u, and ur approaching traffic already stopped at a junction, then YOU have to brake. ACC will NOT brake for u!! Reason being was that it didn't have a reference point (car to follow) before the stopped/stationary car suddenly appeared.

Definitely not! They're Skoda OEM mudflaps. Never been painted/treated, nor wiped down. The Superb writing is just a vinyl sticker. Nothing fancy.

I bought Skoda OEM mudflaps from Kopacek and fitted them myself. Very very easy to do. I don't know of any Skoda models that come factory fitted with mudflaps.

Assistance from Australia
@glv - i've seen some Superb 280 owners "upgrade" to Audi TT RS rotors and callipers. @Carlston - reckon i can use the Kodiaq's 314x30 rotors, as a suitable upgrade for my 220 Superb (which currently uses 312x25 rotors, PR Code 1ZA), with the existing callipers? or will i have to change the callipers and carriers too?

280 4x4 suspension (DCC) and brakes...
regarding DCC, as @ApertureS already indicated - it will mess up other systems in ur car if u simply "DCC Delete Kit" it. specifically headlights, ABS and steering. see image below. i have a MY17 Superb aswell. when i first got it, i had it in Individual Drive mode (DCC was set to Sport) 100% of the time. after 2 yrs later i put Eibach Pro-kit springs. I was now in Individual mode 80% of the time. a yr after that i discovered the DCC Re-calibration process. since that, i was in Normal mode 80% of the time. a yr after that i did the DCC Slider Mod. since that, in Normal Mode 95% of the time. 5% i'm in Individual mode, but this time the DCC setting in my Individual Mode is set to Comfort++ if i were u, i would get replacement OEM DCC shocks, and get the DCC Slider Mod if u can. combined cost i'm sure it will b way cheaper than sourcing aftermarket adaptive dampers.

Guilty...... As a car enthusiast - it's not just about functionality, but it's also about fun and personalization. The little touches make a car "special", instead of being the usual boring sheep. It's not always about the look at me factor or wanting to b the centre of attention - far far from it.
