The Superb II & FL Picture thread

Dad's 62plate Elegance with refurbished alloys and new black/chrome centre caps. Also quick shot of my Dezent 18" winter wheels on his Superb to keep him mobile while work was done! He's very happy with the result and still waiting for the new black/chrome bonnet/boot badges to arrive.

Thanks they will be going on my VRS245 in October with 225/40 Pirelli P Zero's rated at 186mph which should be OK in the rain and snow!

I've recently finish changing my rims, rims profile are 19" 8.5J ET35 for all 4 wheels. Tyre profile is 235/35/ZR19. Just for reference.

 

[Batman2771]

WOW  Those wheels are awesome

Hey All, 

So I joined an kinda went poof again , quick update, 1st year of college done , over 20 000km on the Superb since November , 1 service, timing belt replacement, 4 new tyres , new front discs and pads. The car is amazing , 1200km weekly round trip along with trips away camping an mountain bike duties and not a bother to it . Was all plans to make it into a scout but to be honest there is no need, it is a very impressive machine. We had a bad blast of snow in spring an I barley noticed it when I was driving with 4x4 system. I'm a converted Skoda man now.

Sold my Fabia and bought this, its a 2012 2.0 TDI Elegance with a few options.

[Batman2771]

Looking good mate. What options?

[Superb170]

Nice trade up

[Mcturk]

@Batman2771 Its got, rough road package so its 15mm higher, BiXenon headlights, GSM II phone preparation and a few more things which I havent found yet other than that standard elegance equipment.

[Batman2771]

awesome mate.  Is it a 4x4 Superb?

[Mcturk]

unfortunately it isn`t, just front wheel drive.

[Batman2771]

I take it that you wanted a 4x4 version?

[Mcturk]

I would`t say I wanted, but I was searching in that way, but could`t find any for sale in my country.

[Batman2771]

Ah I see. I guess I was lucky then when I got mine

Don't be giving us MkII Superb drivers a bad reputation by driving around with your sidelights and front lights on all of the time 

[G2enn]

I normally don't,  I did in the forestry pic , it took me a month to realise when the lights are on auto the spots on the bottom light up with the direction of the steering wheel I kept thinking  id blown a bulb

That looks excellent! You seem to have changed a few times already this year - did you have any problems with rubbing etc? I'm thinking of going for an 8Jx18" but have 4x4 so need to keep the same size all round.

 

Cheers,

8j will be fine, rubbing problem depends on what wheel size you use. I'm using 8.5j with 235/35/19 without any problem.

BTW, you should also notice about the ET size of the rim. Normally ET size between 30 and 55 is OK, otherwise you may need spacers to avoid damage to the suspension.

Great, thanks for the reply! Yep I was keeping an eye on the ET.

Are those for better economy or fitted with winter tyres?

Great looking car in silver with those wheels and the black trim.

 

You're also a brave man combining the lowered Greenline suspension with those (lovely) but big 18" Sirius wheels.  I hope your local roads are nothing like mine!
