Really pleased, gives it a much cleaner look.

This picture doesn't show it too well but it does look a lot better.

I also made a wee guide in case anybody else was thinking about doing it.

HOW TO: Remove side rub strips - BRISKODA - The Skoda Forums

Hmm I can still see a line through the doors... are they not smooth or is that a reflection??

The doors have a slight bend in them, just the design of them. Also with water being on them it hasn't helped the reflection.

i have thought about doing mine a few times, but I can't help but think what it leaves behind would make people think there is supposed to be somthing there????

I thought about this too, but I'm not bothered enough to out weigh the risk of the paint bubbling underneath!.. Seems to be quite common!.. looking good though mate..

Thinking about de badging mine now..

Only reason i've kept my rub strips is to help lessen the dreaded "car park dings"

Thanks, it's getting a professional detail on Thursday (weather permitting!) and apparently my friend will be using some fancy wax called "Dodo Supernatural" so I'm quite looking forward to the finished outcome

£95 a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be wanting it blinging for life at that price

this is what i thought, and all them people that smack the doors. My remedy, colour code the strips to the car.

Well I'll see how it goes, if I get attacked in car parks then I'll buy another set

Yeah I saw the price of the Supernatural as well!! He's used it on a few cars he's done. He did his almera last September, it's only had one wash in January and the water still beads on it

TBH most of the smacks will happen higher up not on those strips. The strips stop you banging doors on things, not the other way around.

My doors have been saved from dinks several times when the wind catches the door and bangs it into my wall by the house...
