Always fancied a set of these and ended up ordering them. Very quick postage and no issues thank goodness after reading horror stories online.

My garage fitted them whilst it was I for a service. The lower one looked a bit of a pig and was too by all accounts. I said to leave the top one as I would do it. However bring ever helpful they did and can you spot the problem?

It is it an issue?

How do you feel about it now you've seen it in the daylight??

Not too bad John. Good drive back?

I actually like that, looks great.

Do they come in black or did you paint it before fitting?

Brilliant drive back, apart from the A21 being closed, so i had to take some back roads but apart from that, it was a very good drive.

Has no one spotted it?

They are just inserts octimark, The surround was plasti dipped previously. The inserts are black, the same finish as the oem ones.

I am really pleased with them now and glad i did it. Although I may now colour code the front grille as the car below. The little lip edges are from Milotec, but they are 100 euros.....

Colour coded grille is the way forward.

Looks awesome with the black grill surround and new badge aswell good mix I am the first person to click like on the first post more to follow I trust!

ps. plastidip around the fog lights would be cool to try too

Does look mint!

But how do you open the bonnet now?

Looks like there's a cut-out for the bonnet release, but you might have a job getting to the towing eye!

Ok, can't see it on my phone.

I did think that about the towing eye also

TBH how often do you have to tow a Skoda?

There is an extra hole in pic above on side towing eye is. On the FL that side just pulls off to access it or perhaps the extra hole is big enough and lined up for it??

The cut out for the bonnet release is the bit that is bugging me. I was going to fit the top grille myself and cut the handle down as you can easily get your finger through the holes to lift it up.

However my guys were being helpful and got all of them fitted....

Looking at it now you hardly notice and no-one has actually said anything when I have got them to look at it so I will probably leave it alone now. I was going to order another and sell this one on. At least any future mechanics wont be confused by how to open the bonnet.

There is indeed an extra hole on the right hand side for the tow eye.

Liking that. The cut out bit for the release was done by your fitters then and not Super Skoda starting to make them like that?. Think if I was to get them I would cut the release handle down and leave the grill intact.
