Annoying as it was only about ten miles away from me

To what degree will I need to sand it? Will I require to remove all Chrome entirely?

Yes,

Here in Paddyland we get 17" Zeniths as standard..18's are an extra 400 or thereabouts

I didn't even consider the size, it was more the fact that there aren't Neptunes on the FL? :S

In that honeycomb grille design - how do they open the bonnet?

Seems the folks down under have sussed it.....................

Nope, just get a good key with a light sanding

Honeycomb with the badge!

That aussi one looks horrid, the honeycomb has no depth :(

Lucky me,

I have the only FL white one in Ireland currently

Ahh dont think so one in Donegal for ages now.

Terrible looking thing that not even the same honeycomb as the bottom Skoda bumper grill.

You get a free honeycomb doormat as well. Cool

What about finishing it off in honeycomb like the lower grille?

I like the smoked lense cover. Any idea where that's from?

Those are hideous

YMMV.

Thanks Mr Superskoda now how about a special forum price for that honeycomb grill?

Damn..

Is it a FL with leather ??

Sorry bud, I'm just Jo Public, prices aren't too bad as they're euros. Not uk based by the looks of it.

The honeycomb grill is a bit OTT IMO but I like the smoked headlights

If you look on the Lamin-x website you can get various coloured films for DIY application, I got a small piece of smoke film to cover my DRL's.

Also I agree that the actual grille on the RS-P isn't good, my point was they have added a cut out to access the bonnet lever. :p :p

Same way AFAIK

That's confused me.

On the normal grille, there is a slot for the release handle to pop through. With a honeycomb grille, there is no slot so the handle cannot pop through to be released.

Unless of course you remove the handle

Prolfe,

Did the Skoda badge come off and on again easy when the grill was sprayed?

If it's anything like the pre-FL, the badge has locating lugs that Skoda, in the infinite wisdom have decided to hot melt after installation, they can be cut, but they must be sacrificed to get the badge off. This just means refitting by eye to get the badge on straight. Other than this it's got an adhesive backing, so number plate fixings will work. Personally for the sake of a tenner, I would get a nice new one or..................

something a little more custom.

More pics please

was a new badge, new grille, new grille surround, new wings, new cross member, new bumper, new lights, new bonnet................. and the list goes on.

Had a silly accident that meant a whole new front end was needed. £6k in total.

I asked the bodyshop to spray the surround when it was in.

More pics please

As you wish.........................

As you wish.........................

Looks lush, do you have any of the whole front? (blank out your plate)

I'm undecided on colour, black was one of my options but this could sway it

Can someone confirm that the vRS grill badge is the same size as the boot vRS badge?
