where did have that fitted, front bumper, higher ? Sills ? Thinking down the same lines 

 

It was the whole front, bumper, lights, bonnet, front area of roof, outside mirrors, windshield frame, those black glossy door pillars, under mudguards.

Blimey, that's a lot. Covered the lights, I wonder how it affects the headlamps (refractive index of the film)  I have matrix LEDs fine tuned optics ?

Front area of the roof, can you see the seam ? 

[ND1]

I know nothing about refractive index of Kavaca film, but I don't see any changes in light beam.

Seam is almost invisible.

Washed Gandalf after a few months.

Now that it's all shiny, time to get the bikes on and get it dirty again!! 🤣

Incoming, hopefully. Replacing my Octavia vRS 245. 

[dohboy78]

Made some RallyFlapz to fit with the Rieger skirts... and fitted some Briskoda decals.

Insurance for write off is now settled (sad day, farewell Octavia; your star shone brightly if only briefly), so deposit paid, car being prepped for collection next week. I already have a shopping basket with some Koni replacement dampers in it.

This is quite strange as this colour is not available officially in Poland - it's only valid in case of Czech's configurator. But - during the ordering process you can ask for a colour from CZ  I have no clue with it's not posted officially but it's doable I really love it. We have just 3 such Superbs in Poland.

[mike21sport]

Superb colour (sorry) 👍🤣

[Bap33]

Amazing colour 😍 ! Not everyone''s Superb for sure! Great choice!

I picked up my Superb this afternoon. Very happy with it so far. It has 77,000 miles on it, so I had dealer do the timing belt, service and four new tyres. Was happy with the Michelin’s they put on it! 
My first mods will be to replace all the front lights with ‘whiter’ bulbs, and get mud flaps fitted all round.

So, almost 5 months into ownership, and I'm still really liking the Superb. Went down the road of lowering, with Eibach Pro-Kit, a few weeks back, and that pushed me to either buy some spacers as a temporary solution, or finally make my mind up on some wheels.

Read as much as I could on sizing and offsets, but still needed to take an educated guess/leap of faith.
Straying from my Japanese wheel roots, I ended up going with Judd Model One, 20x9.5 et40, in Gloss Gunmetal (would have done Brushed Titanium if they were in stock).
Tyres are Michelin PS4S, 255/35r20 in size. Yes, I know that's a little larger than stock OD, but it was a deliberate choice to maintain some sidewall.

No rubbing so far, thankfully. Outside pics are with the stock wheels/tyres loaded in the back, hence why it sits a little lower in those pics.
Will try and get some better pics sometime over the next week or so.

Nice looking wheels @skylineguv

Sharp car ! 👍

Very nice indeed. No issues clearing brake calipers or inside of rims touching suspension as that’s pretty wide rims you’re running. 
 

Also are you running a camber on the rears as that tear shot the rear looks to be cambered compared to the front.

Is it a MK8 GTI on the side? The red rims look good too!

It's fairly close, with maybe around 10mm or so between front wheel and the strut, but nothing that would concern me. In the rear, again, close but not too bad with the shock...closest thing is the liner, but even that seems to be ok.
Haven't had an alignment yet...will do after I get a few more km's on the springs and new wheels/tyres. But otherwise, no negative camber deliberately dialed in over and above that which may be present from lowering.

Yes, a Dolphin Grey Mk8 GTi. We kept the wheels from a previous car back in Canada and shipped them over here with our belongings to Bahrain. Got the GTi and decided to give them a try.
Now these really are a tight fit at 19x9.5, +45 offset, but nothing touching or rubbing so far!
