Hello,

Very newbie here, i have a new Skoda Superb III 220 ps with DSG and its the SE L Executive Hatch with extras, Kessy, ambient lighting, virtual pedal and back windscreen wiper on order.

 

I have looked around web and watching loads of reviews etc, and the car i have chosen i think is lovely, and was great in a test drive, it should be ready in build week 8.

 

Now to my question and i hope this is in right section.

 

i have noticed the superb sometimes has the chrome exhaust tips but pretty sure the new 2017 220 ps tsi engine doesn't have those tips??

 

does anyone know different and has anyone put their own exhaust tips on??

 

was thinking about just putting some curve black tips or something if it hasn't got them.

 

also interested in the led upgrades i see some members have done.

 

this is my first Skoda, hope i won't regret it lol

No tips, in fact the exhausts are not really noticeable on the 220.

Yeh i thought as much, shame really.

 

 

anyone put exhaust tips on??

 

think it has 2 x down facing pipes likes Most Diesels have??

Only the 280 PS models have visible exhausts. For modifications it's extensively covered in the Exhausts thread and gets some mention in the 220 thread.

hmmm looks like i did post wrong place, sorry.

 

Didn't realise that there had already been a question about this.

 

so tempted with curved exhaust trims, maybe quad pipes too.

 

or would it look stupid??

 

thanks for replys guys :-)

The 220 doesn't have exhaust tips showing, but it does have a chrome exhaust-like detail where exhaust tips might be. So, probably "stupid", unless you modify the rear bumper.

Thanks for reply FreeLunch, to be honest if it has this it is good enough for me. is this not on the L&K though???   I have the SE L Executive DSG 220 ps coming.

For non-280PS engines, only the Sportline has the chrome rear diffuser (unless retrofitted).  All other models have a plain black diffuser with non-visible turned down exhausts.

yeh thought this was the case, shame really.

 

you would think the 220 SE L Executive would have some detail.

 

hmmm so looking for ideas to make it look a bit nicer.

 

guess this would look silly below bumper???

I'd be worried about grounding it.

 

I didn't realise all Superbs didn't have the same bumper. Frankly, I hadn't done a lot of research into model variations, I just bought the sales manager's car. Instant gratification!

yeh thats a fair shout really.

 

wonder if the sport line bumper can be bought?? want to swap freelunch haha ;-)

 

You do not need to change the whole bumper, just get the bottom part of the bumper that has the holes.

I actually have a spare one somewhere in my garage!

Hey Micloi, not 100% what you mean??

 

does it clip on ??

 

got any pics bud?

Yes, just clips on. If anyone wants it I will probably sell it, bought it with some plans of painting it with the car's colour but changed my mind. It is brand new.

Would love it if you will sell :-)

let me know the price.

 

nice one bud :-)

Just message me and we will arrange it, I am not far from you either

Will do :-)

Is this bottom diffuser a simple fit when bought .

Is there any parking sensors or other bits that need disconnecting .

Does virtual peddle effect it ?

 

 

 

 

 

You move the parking sensors to the new diffuser. Nothing is affected as far as I am aware as there is already a diffuser there, just different cuts for the exhaust 

I have new Superb Combi MY18 140kw TDI (Lava Blue, I'm new car owner this is my first car so please go easy on me ^^ and my crazy ideas) and I can't stand no exhaust so I'm wondering if the new bumper can be purchased some where? With the chrome tips on bottom around exhaust like pic above for 220 version. But figured with my color that may be a problem heh.

 

I was even thinking to get some one to cut original tips (well not tips, exhaust it self) from exhaust and re-weld straight pipe. Then I would cut bottom part so it would look something like Audi A4/A6 and other VW brands have. I just want that the exhaust is visible, even if only on one side. Hate that newer Skoda's have it turned down into ground. I know I'm over reacting a bit ^^

But I figured that's crazy idea (cutting) so I would settle for something original since I found this topic and realized bottom part of bumper can be changed. So now I'm wondering where could I get this part? Maybe from some original parts store?
I'm from Slovenia though
 

@JackySi

don't think you will be happy with fake chrome strips

 

 

 

Superskoda used to have it listed, I don't see it anymore now - either out of stock or some issues with it.

 

I'm keen on getting them too.

I get that they look fake and all. But its still better than totally black thing. Chrome adds some nice looks to it, at least when I saw Sport line in life, to me it was amazing addition to black car with lots of chrome all around (I have Style version exactly for this purpose as well - not sportline which is all black). I also have Lava blue maybe that's why Chrome addons look better? I wouldn't look at this as "exhaust" pipes though. 

I'd love to get custom exhaust done but I don't have skills to do that and I can't even find a spoiler for the bumper with single hole for one exhaust tip (unless I mount ones from Skoda Octavia RS but then one side will be empty?). I don't know what to do to be honest.

Saw that some where yeah! But as you mentioned, they took them off. Maybe plastic was bad no idea.

Okay I'm not ready to pay that either. That's very expensive. Even if its ALU which I presume it is =/
