Hi Folks,

 

Nearly 2 weeks into ownership (have not driven it all week as wife has stolen it!!!)

She loves it and it will be our single car in year and bits time (I am still working and drive Kia Ceed)

 

Today after a visit to local Skoda dealer, little help ref accessories.   I have ordered the following at a fraction of the dealer prices in UK.

 

Hopefully all should go well delivery 4 days-ish via GLS, will track and advise progress??? :think:

Very nice. Pop a few pics up when you have installed.

Unsure about the mud flaps tho TBH but thats just my taste I suppose !

Yeh,

Know what you mean :think:

But it helps stop the paint chips and sill getting to muddy. Roads around here are mostly rural (full of poo and mud)

Would love to see some pics!

My white rapids, top of the rear bumper seems to collect dirt, is the below bumper panel angled for water to run off rather than collect on the top of the bumper and hopefully the dirt run off with the water.

Be great to get an update when it arrives and also if its easy to fit

 

Thanks.

Mine is the same, always filthy and the rest of the car mint. Gave it a good coat of collinite 476s and its not as bad.

Is 476 a hard wax?  am used to using 845 here

Will post photos and report on the rear bumper protector.

Did notice that it is a dust / grit collector an deems to always be dirty as you said!

Yes Mark, its a hard wax but it is absolutely brilliant. Brst wax I have ever used.

I used a mid cay bar first, then a couple of coats of poorboys ex-p, then a couple of coats of collinite 476.

Hi

 

Seriously thinking of ordering the bumper protector,

 

be great if you can advise how its fitted

and if its top is angled slightly for water to run off and hence reduce the dirt on the bumper as previously stated the water and therefore dirt seems to stop on top of bumper and not run off.

Hi Folks,

The sill protectors and bumper protector were a dawdle to fit, literately peel off the tape back and place on the areas. Tricky bit is deciding best place to fit.

Suggest find best place with trim tape backing still on and mark with felt pen and then fit as its a "one shot" and no second chance.

I will upload photos of items fitted.

Mud flaps were trickier!!

Rear relatively easy.

Front requires to drill 7mm diameter hole to fit push in plastic retainer. I used right angled drill head and did not have to remove wheels (which makes access easy)

Kind of wish I had paid a bit of extra for the mats but the Michelin ones I got seem OK. Need will protectors thought my 3yo appears to love using the will as a step!

Tried to buy but there was an initial problem with my address, only got back on there and the discount seems to be gone. Oh well, I'll just need to keep a look out.
