You wanted a white one, didn't you?  It's alright... you can admit it!

Just messing with you - both photos and car look great

...the white was not my first option - the blue I was going for got snatched under my nose - but it did grew on me and, although it is a pain to keep clean, I am quite happy with it now.

Take up 2 spaces. There is always some **** that parks next to a cherished car.

Don't know why car park lining is still based on Ford Anglia size cars. 

Just another general annoyance like the state of our 'roads'.

 

BTW, seen this today - on a paid parking, mind you...

 

Meanwhile, there I was trying to find a spot to park my car. You seriously think it is ok to park like this?

 

[Chelseacraig]

We're is the other white line coz I can't see it 

[Chelseacraig]

Perfectly reasonable coz I can't see that middle thick line . Also he or she has a nice white car so I'm going to let them off lol

Those parking places at Anttila are way too small for my taste, I'll never park there.

Unfortunately, I have no other option - my workplace has a contract to park there.

My colleague has a Volvo V90 and he simply cannot squeeze there without stepping into another place.

I barely can and his car is 8cm wider.

Unfortunately it's black, white, red, or the flat grey on the 245.

Special order? Is this a thing? I thought you were  pretty much limited to what's on the configurator

[Chelseacraig]

Well I've asked and they are talking to cz from skoda uk

Finally got the summer wheels on. A bit to bright for my liking - will be back to titanium grey next summer

Under the car... I actually had someone do that once and when I asked why she said "because people can't park properly". I'm like... WTF?

Andy, the bars are these:

 

1 x Atera (28) SIGNO RT 122cm aero-profile alu bars (2) AR8222 (Skoda Octavia estate (2013 onwards). 

 

Very pleased with them. Top quality & easy to fit. 

 

The box is a Kamei Delphin.

 

I like the short, stubby, wide box because it allows the French Autoroute toll reader to operate without the front of the box blocking the signal & also the boot to open fully without fouling the back of the box. 

 

Both bought via The Roofbox Company.

I recommend them.  

 

FWIW, the bars are very quiet on the move. I've been up to the National Speed Limit with no whistling. 

 

The pano roof will open on tilt and I'm told will open fully. I'm not so sure about the full opening & don't want to chance it, so I have closed the blind & will save the pano until in France with the box & bars off.

Cheers Dunc69... this forum is a wealth of knowledge... always to good to get an honest recommendation from someone who has used the equipment... all i need now is the $$$

for the roof bars

and then the roof box

and of course the rear bumper protector...

and don't forget the wheel refurb....

and on and on and on...

Was at the in-laws yesterday. Looked out their window and saw my car poking out from behind the wall, so snapped a pic. I thought it looked ace anyway.
