Right, as I discovered my cars paintwork is 'wafer-thin' highlighted at the tailgate does anyone know if I can purchase a 'strip' that will cover the lower part of the tailgate area.

Do you mean the edge - you can get the chrome strips http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/OCTAVIA-III/Octavia-III-Combi-genuine-Skoda-Autoas-under-rear-trunk-lid-CHROME

I recommend you to buy strip or protective film what covers whole boot lip. I have had strip which covers 2/3 of the lip, it tends to collect all the dirt. Especially in the winter it collects snow and ice.

Cheers for the info.

Need something. Toddler and big dogs making me nervous

Richard Grant Mouldings or RGM...had them on four Octavias now plus a couple of my wife's Focuses....they cover the whole surface and are easy to fit. They come in a variety of different finishes too (although I've only ever used the black versions).
