Took a while to realise why car in link below looks so good.

It's a pre FL which I prefer - The FL could be said to have more presence or it could be said to be trying a bit too hard. Either way, I do hope it was not a grown up that came up with the idea of writing the model name inside the headlights.

What makes the difference with this car though is the chrome bumper insert.

Not seen any UK cars with this.

Is it available?

Is it a simple insert swap?

It's a Chinese domestic market Skoda Octavia they are high spec with lots of chrome and LED lighting that the European market Octavia didn't get.

Most people covet the LED rear light clusters which are not available in Europe.

My local Skoda dealer parts manager looked at me like I was crazy when I enquired - lol.

You would need to contact a chinese Skoda retailer such as Haimen Jintian Ke Da Automobile Skoda Co. Ltd. http://dealer.skoda.com.cn/hmjt/ and ask about prices and whether they would use a couirer to send the goods to the UK.

I've been trying to find an email address for them but all I have is an address and phone number.

They'll require some modification too if you want to fit them up to a UK number plate surround.
