All back to standard spec again, my lovely alloys taken off and original wheels back on, sub removed, spare wheel removed, rear window blind removed and all my junk taken out, there was an awful lot of that.

She being PX'ed next week, a new Skoda will be incoming. It's not a Superb 280 so I guess I will be introducing myself to another section?

This one should be up for sale in Newbury, Skoda for way more than they gave me no doubt, but I got a good "overall" deal so not complaining. The bronze JR alloys will not fit the new car, that is a blow, but not a deal breaker.

So if anyone is looking for a nice Dec2023 280, this is it, not a mark on her, and only 2500 miles (low due to illness)

Sort of saying goodbye to this thread but I'll keep on eye on it still, I'm sure?

Shame it’s being swapped out. The DNFE engine is amazing as it is and brilliant for breathing on.

What’s the replacement Dave? Are the wheels being sold too?

I assume you referring to these satin bronze beauties?

I guess I'll have to shift them on the Bay, they will probably look too small on an Elroq, it will require 55 profiles on the front and the Elroq has wider 9" rears too making an 8" rim a bit small for 255's, all a bit of a shame as I love the look of these JR's, they never look dirty too.

Elroq VRS incoming.

Have had a set on our Leon for quite a few years. Once I read they were GY from pictures it was between them and Michelin CC’s based on tread.

When you say sub removed, do you mean subwoofer, isn’t that standard in the boot of an L&K because it comes with Canton sound system ?

I added an additional sub for deeper lows, that was removed, the Canton one goes with the car and I'm almost certain "my" sub will end up the Elroq. Us bass players like to hear each other

I must admit I am happy as a new owner of a Superb L&K at the fact I can control the bass of the sub. I don’t want to go crazy and blow my ears away like when I was a youngster and it was all about bass. Can’t match up to your needs as an audiophile. What did you replace the Canton sub with out of interest and how easy was the swap ?

I did not replace the Canton sub, I added an additional larger Pioneer one, the Canton one stayed where it was and still functioned normally

The old girl still polishes up well ....
