That badging is going to be a bugger to keep clean! Doesn't look too bad though

Collected today, 1.4TSi 150 ACT in Energy Blue. Life is not going to be dull.

Replacement for my Series 3 Octavia Liftback.

Superb 2.0TSI 206kw 4WD DSG

 

We can't select individual options in OZ so its all or nothing across 2 packs, comfort and tech. This has both packs plus panoramic sunroof. Ceramic window tint all round to keep the ultra-violet under control. Moon white because the summers are getting way too hot for the dark colours these days.

Not sure we could have the front windows with so much tint in the UK, unless it's just the picture making it look very dark.

 

[sjabs101]

Tint looks darker with a solid background and time of day, it tends to look darker the sunnier it is for some reason. NSW allows 35% grade tint on front windows. Rear windows have 20% tint on top of the privacy glass which evens up the shading all round.

Both Blue but one is 4 Litres bigger and has twice the amount of cylinders.

The UK allows 30% tint on front side windows and 25% on windscreen

Tint definitions across the ocean are not helping here.

 

Actual regulations in NSW specify Visible Light minimum of 35% so tint that meets that spec is called 35% tint.

UK regulations specify Visible Light minimum of 70% so your 30% tint is obviously a great deal lighter.

 

UK definition makes more sense but we like to make simple things complex.

I wasn't questioning your regs, I was just saying that the UK has different ones. Hence me thinking it looked a bit dark.

As you get more sun there you could well need more tint!

Hi guys, just a quick question as i'm looking at getting this grill for my car and was just wondering if they are hard to fit or has anyone fitted one?

[PK52]

And what is the best way to detail this type of honeycomb grill?

the grille itself won't b hard to fit.

its the ACC sensor i'd b worried about.

sneeze on it and it will require an expensive specialist recallibration!!!

 

if u don't have ACC, all the more easier

I changed grill, intercooler and much more and the sensor did not require any recalibration. Just my 2p from personal experience.

Just gave my Cappucino Beige 280PS its second wash at almost a year old and 11k miles! (Cheating slightly as it did get a dealer wash when it went in for a warranty repair) I went to the effort of using a clay bar to get it properly clean this time and used simoniz wax both times - I can't recommend simoniz strongly enough.  It is not as shiny as Mer but it really does protect the paintwork.  The bonnet seems to be a bit of a stone chip magnet, especially where the front edge overhangs, but that's what touch up paint is for.  They're for driving, not just admiring.
