The Superb III Picture thread

@xmanthe best things in life are free. Energy Blue looks better in the flesh than in photo's. Think you were trying to wind me up again but failed again.

Seen enough in the flesh at the dealer and someone nearby has a basic Karoq in that obscene colour. It hurts to look at it.

 

Obviously carefully chosen by Skoda marketing to persuade the 95% of people with any taste to part with the extra cash for a decent colour. Only cheapskates, probably the kind who bulk buy loo rolls only when on 2 for 1 offer, would consider it.

Superb by name, Superb by nature.  

 

I'm on my second (lease) Superb, and I love the model.  So many options included for the price, and the quality is excellent.  I went metallic black for the first, and corrida red for the second (making a statement/standing out).  After nearly 4 years, I've not seen a single other red Superb in or around Worcester!

 

I've got to choose another one soon when this lease runs out, and despite scouring the available choices, I think I'll probably end up with another Superb.

 

I can't blame you. I've been fancying one ever since the mkIII came out, but I've always bought cars used and outright, so have held off until they dropped into my price bracket. Having read every review I king of knew what to expect, and if hasn't disapointed. The thing that has surprised me though has been non-car peoples reaction. When I showed my wife it her first reaction was 'god, how expensive is this going to be', when I picked up my brother be got in and said 'I thought you were getting a skoda, this is nicer than dad's car (jag xj)'. Inside it definitely feels more premium than anything in it's class and is more than a match for the class above.

I have my mk 3 for just over 4 months now. Inside it is just a really nice place to be.

Is it just me that walks back to my car and says "that looks like a good photo opportunity? "

You see the bottom grill which has the chrome running through it.. is this easy to click back into place if one side has come out a small bit. Just purchased one of these and the passengers side looks like it isn’t fully pushed out wondering could I do it myself or would it be a dealer job to get it back to normal.

if ur referring to the chrome bit next to the foglights - yes its very easy to remove and clip back in.

u simply pull off the side grille cover, then u can unclip or clip the chrome bit out/in.

 

i separated the chrome bit so i could plasti-dip it black.

Yeah that looks sick! That’s the exact part I’m looking to just clip back in as it’s a bit out right now and was just nervous incase I broke it by using force to push it back in place, if you can see the picture below that side is a small bit out of place this is the part I would be trying to click back in

Funnily enough that part was missing when I went to look at the car. Unfortunately cant help with the install as the dealer sourced one and installed it, but it does look like it just pushes in.

 

That's also good to know @JR RS is i've been wondering about changing it to black too. Yours looks great. Am wanting to do the grill too, but might just swap that out for a Sportline one. Might be easier.

Removing and putting back this small grill is easy, but equally easy to fit incorrectly, with your small alignment issue as the result. There are some tabs that need to line up correctly with the middle grill. If these tabs are slightly misaligned the grill does fit but then sticks out by a few millimeters. Taking the grill out again and bending the tabs a bit further out and ensuring alignment when fitting it again should resolve it. For me it was a bit easier as I had the front bumper completely off to see what the alignment problem was. Unfortunately I didn’t take detailed pictures.

How much did it cost for them for the part and the install ?

Sorry I dont know. It was missing when I bought the car so they bought it and installed it for free to me.

The side lower grille ones r easy to do as they can b easily pulled off the bumper and the chrome bit unclipped from behind.

 

The centre lower grille is unfortunately a bumper off job as the only way to access the clips holding the chrome is from the inside.

Which is wat I did.

 

Likewise with the top centre grille - bumper off job, however some have said it's "possible" to remove the grille without removing the bumper.

If I were to do it - I'd much rather remove the bumper entirely.

Size does matter. But now I’m prepared for the Swedish winter and icy roads.

What a lovely colour.

@Thorell Ditto what @mandp said. That is a lovely colour. And those tyres look excellent!

Thanks! The colour is the only thing my wife decided. I was into Business Grey. But her choice was the right one. 
 

Regarding tyres, I always get a little sad when I change from summer to winter tyres. The car becomes ugly. But that’s the way it is when the winter is coming.

I'm the same with the wheels and tyres. I put my winter 17s on with winter tyres and I always chuckle at how different it looks.

Does anyone have any pictures of a Black superb with all blacked out in the front with a black superb badge and the original silver badge for comparison.. can’t decide if I should stay with the original silver once I black out the chrome off the grills.

Nice one man! Couldn’t make up my mind but think I actually prefer the silver badge W kind of stands out with the black out front

In fact, I had your thought too. But with the front all blacked out that shiny and chrome logo doesn't match in my opinion...

Does anyone know much about that urban styling pack for the Superb? Seen it once on a car for sale and then not seen it since.... Wondering if anyone knew where to buy it or if it was just a one off?

[Bap33]

@Raymundo91 Never heard about this 'urban styling pack for the Superb'...  What does it contain? Thanks
