I don’t remember seeing this fitted??

 

Why did you remove it was it not up to the top speed or was it just not to your taste?

It was not a huge spoiler but a friend, expert in car aerodynamics, said that it was ruining  the down-force potential of the main spoiler. 

[superbtte]

This was the one. Without the top spoiler and the wiper the rear screen is now completely clear which allows all air to reach the rear spoiler and apply down-force at high speeds, i.e when I plan to visit the autobahn this summer

Not trying to be pedantic but a spoiler will not give downforce  .. just saying

It does according to a lot of sources online and his opinion as an aerodynamics consultant for Aston Martin.

 

But let's agree to disagree as turning this into a discussion about spoilers could spoil (excuse the pun) this thread

The "TDI" badge is missing "1,6" in front of it

But you are allowed to have a red 'I' if you wish

What are your thoughts on the dsg reliability with the increase in power?

I note you said the cutch packs are for track use only? Are you changing them every time you swap from track to road

No, it's not something that can be swapped around.

I just meant that they are not a requirement, most people stay stock.

I just did it for maximum reliability for taking it to the drag strip as I plan to keep the car for a while.

Funny you should say that, I initially used one with a red D and a red I but I swapped it with the all silver one as it stood out too much

Stunning

 

The End

[superbtte]

1. Bumper, bonnet and wings painted due to a number of paint chips. 

2. Bumper, bonnet, wings and pillars covered with self-healing film to protect from future chips

3. Rest of the car coated with Carboncollectives ceramic coating

4. Eyebrows, exhaust tips and surrounding metal exhaust panels painted dark black

5. Car detailed inside and outside (paint correction both for paint and alloys)

6. 2nd (semi-slicks) and 3rd (winter tyres) alloy wheel sets left with the company to clean and coat with ceramic serum

Looks like here will be TWO Skoda Superbs with over 500hp at the Dyno day at VRS Northampton this Sunday morning (10am onwards)

Mindblowing, this is lika a guideline for my car, covered only 1k miles so far but this is the way to go. You are like Indiana Jones Firts so advanced project of superb 280. Well done.

[superbtte]

A few small updates.

 

1. Replaced side TDI badges with SPORTLINE ones (Superskoda)

2. Replaced rear chrome TDI badge with a black one to match the rest of the car

3. Added a rear black Skoda emblem from Superskoda

4. Replaced the steering wheel insert with a honeycomb one (Superskoda)

5. Added 11mm spacers on all 4 wheels

Detailing work looks great, Deep Impact are around 500 ft from my office!

Highly recommended, I went there because a friend used them in the past and I am very glad I did!

They work with Bodyguard UK that does the protective film.

 

This is what I had done:

 

Deep Impact
----------------
Carbon collective
       - Platinum Paint topped with Oracle
       - Platinum Glass
       - Platinum Wheels

Bodyguard UK
-----------------
       - Self Healing PPF
