Trolley jack and axle stand location
As I explained, before - for the front there is nothing to remove, while for the rear u need to pop the cover off first.......as shown in my first pic, with the cover already off!! It's the same area as in ur second pic.

Trolley jack and axle stand location
@Danoid those spots r correct for the axle stands. For the front - nothing to remove. For the rear - use a flat head screwdriver to pry out the cover downwards, from the sides. There r 4 grooves, 2 on each side.

B8 pre facelift Dynamic Chassis Control - worth it?
DCC paired with Eibach or H&R springs (with a 30mm or so drop) works really well. after putting Eibach ProKit springs in mine:- - DCC Comfort is now equivalent to wat DCC Normal was before - DCC Normal is now equivalent to wat DCC Sport was before - DCC Sport is now firmer than wat DCC Sport was before prior to lowering, i used to drive around with DCC set to Sport as it was bit too floaty to my liking in Normal. after lowering, i'm quite happy to leave DCC in Normal most of the time. the only time i change it to Sport is when i'm doing spirited driving through windy twisty roads one day, i'll replace my DCC shocks with the Bilstein B6 Damptronic shocks.

B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
Unless I've misread u, that's actually incorrect - TJA has always been available on pre-facelift Superbs. It's enabled from factory, provided the option is specced. No need for additional datasets. TJA continues to work below 60 km/h. I personally use TJA a lot. It's great.

B8 Pre facelift Travel Assist question
The Superb has two levels of lane assist. The normal bouncy bouncy version that ping pongs u between the lane markings. This is just "Lane Assist" active. Or The adaptive version that keeps u in the centre of the lane markings. This is both Lane Assist and "Adaptive Lane Guidance" active. I've always had my ALG active for TJA, hence I don't know if it will work with just Lane Assist. TSR is not enabled by default. U need to enable it using VCDS or ObdEleven11. Provided u have the necessary A5 Camera.

Ah yes, that would do it!!

Fitted exhaust finishers
I bought the SuperSkoda one 3 yrs ago (when it cost 100 Euro more back then!!) for my Non-Sportline 220. It's been great, and as previously mentioned - much better than the boring plain black plastic.

Does this car have Smart Light Assist
I've never come across that before, sorry. No, it won't have ur dealer service/maintenance history.

Superb III design flaws
I have the sedan shape and in the 4 yrs, I've never had water stay like that on the boot sills!! Strange. With regards to the boot torch - I wish I had the LED version. It's so yellow compared to my SuperSkoda mega power boot lights. I can't justify spending AUD 100 plus for one with white LEDs (3T0947417C9B9).

U need to purchase a "flat rate", then u'll b able to access a variety of info based on ur VIN. I bought a 1 hr flat rate (costs 7 euro), got all the repair/workshop manuals I needed, and the vehicle specific information. Erwin Skoda page of where u purchase the flat rates:- First page of my vehicle specific info report:-

codings for pre-facelift will NOT work on facelift. sorry. the modules/adaptations have changed across the board with the facelift model.

Does this car have Smart Light Assist
Erwin Skoda will tell u exactly wat the car was built with from factory, based on the VIN. its an 8-pg build report with all the PR codes.

Does this car have Smart Light Assist
Best way to check on pre-facelift is by checking the part number on the sticker on the headlight. If it ends in B, the U have SLA. If u have SLA, by default, the stripes/whiskers/eye-lashes light up when the low beams r turned on. I enabled mine to turn on with the DRLs. Like this..... Headlight Sticker. Part no. starts with 3V..... Normal with low beams on.....
-
Adaptive Headlights
If u have SLA, in addition to the whiskers/eye-lashes, ur headlight start-up dance should look like this. This is different to the normal/standard bi-xenons. Whiskers in DRL mode below. They dim with the DRL strip when the side lights or low beams r switched on.
-
Adaptive Headlights
No they don't come as standard, in any model, even L&K. they're an optional extra. i retrofitted SLA to mine. here in Oz, we don't even get the option to build/spec one with SLA. so i went the long way - sourced the bits and pieces, and did myself. u can read about it here.
-
Adaptive Headlights
That is in relation to how quickly or slowly U want the Auto headlights to turn on/off (the low beams) based on lighting conditions.

What bulbs are fitted to the S3 & upgraded bulb recommendations
Lol At least U learnt it the hard way!!!
-
Adaptive Headlights
I've never been flashed with my high beams on my SLA headlights. They react and mask very well. As @Redboymentioned, make sure U haven't gone past the auto high beam function, to manual high beam. U'll know this is the case if u see the blue high beam icon on ur dash. At the 1 min mark in this video, it shows U where the A5 camera is located. https://youtu.be/maOZ8_2ZpX0

Tpms affecting park assist
Lol, it's not a number I've plucked. The way it (direct or indirect TPMS) works is not specific to my car, nor specific to the Superb models. Nor is it specific to Skoda models, it's across all VW and Seat models too. Indirect TPMS (Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator) uses the ABS sensors to compare the rotational speed of each tyre, and uses an algorithm to figure out differences in relation to tyre pressures. Direct TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) has a sensor in each tyre, giving an actual reading.
