Full Sized Tyre as Spare
@newbie69 - It is anchored/fixed to the boot floor chasis. It's not part of the foam moulding toolkit bit. I don't know if the screw can fitted to the point u mentioned. Maybe, but u'd have to access the other end from underneath somehow.

Full Sized Tyre as Spare
For those wondering - yes, u can fit a full size spare in a Superb. A small trim off the plastic edging, and it fits very easily 👍🏽 Easy to remove and put the tyre in too. Boot carpet sits about 3 cm higher, but u don't notice it. Top pic shows the lip trimmed off. Comparison below..... Existing plastic lock nut in place. Tyre Foam kit in place.... A real spare now!!

MY17 Superb Retrofitted with Direct TPMS
that is because of how the TPMS module is designed. if u use switched power, it will cause CANBUS errors. its the same for other models (Kodiaq) and in various VW and Audi models, where direct TPMS is used. if u don't want to run the power wire to the fuse box up front, u can tap into the 12v boot power supply, in the boot, as it has constant power. this was my initial plan, but i decided i to do it properly and leave my 12v boot power supply intact, and run the wire to a fuse tap up front.

Columbus Clock Display
As far as I know, with MIB2 and 2.5 - the clock will only display if u turn the infotainment unit off while the engine is running. Would b nice if it could b done to show the clock when u tick the option "switch screen off after 10 secs". Looked far n wide - no luck. Not sure how it's like with the newer MIB3 units, like U have.

TPM Settings via Amundsen Infotainment
its not too bad, given ur experience in pulling apart the Superb trim. should b easy for u. essentially the TPMS module is inside the rear bumper. canbus connections r sourced from the BSM inside the rear bumper. power is sourced from the fuse box up front. if the TPMS module doesn't come parameterized, i.e. its brand new, then u'll need ODIS or VCP to upload a parameter file. then some vcds code changes n ur done. obviously the tyre pressure sensors need to b installed inside each tyre, replacing the existing tyre valve stem. full write-up of my retrofit here.

Removing Door Mirror Covers
yes, i've done it. while u need force to remove the mirror, u do need to b careful not to break it. as u say - they r expensive to replace. there is a how-to installation video a guy did on his Octavia. link below. its the same deal with the Superb. should help u.

Gandalf's Evolution
I'm really pleased with Rieger splitter. I like that it's not in ur face. One would need to take a second look to understand wat they saw.

Front Grille replacement
Did it in September last year - no stone chips or peeling. Been holding up well. Been through a number of high pressure washes to. So far so good.

Gandalf's Evolution
Updating the build thread now that the splitter, finished in gloss black now, has been fitted. Been almost a week now, and I've been doing well thus far in not scrapping it!!! The front splitter sides r 11mm of the ground. The middle section bit sits 13mm off. The lowest point (behind front wheels) of my Rieger side skirt sits 10mm off the ground!!!

Suspension ride height
from what i've read/seen, there is:- - Standard suspension - DCC suspension (which sits 10mm lower) - Sportline suspension (which sits 15mm lower than Standard) - Sportline DCC suspension (unsure how much lower this sits compared to Standard)

TPM Settings via Amundsen Infotainment
which is what i did - i retrofitted the Direct TPMS, so i can see actual pressure values in the centre cluster and infotainment.
-
Front Grille replacement
i spray-painted, using Plasti-dip, the chrome trim on my lower grille. u could buy these bits from superskoda, in black already, if u wanted to, instead of painting it urself. i removed the actual chrome trim from the grille, so i could spray it properly. the upper grille would b more involved i'd imagine, and i myself haven't separated it.

Paddle shift extensions (not stick on)
+1, I got similar ones from AliExpress, but with silver edging. The quality is really good, and the paddle shift/click is really solid, even at the tips!

Axle stand positions
