Hi.

 

Have a fantastic superb estate 4x4 elegance, forum looks great looking forward to being a long term member.

 

 

 

Hello Steviejay welcome along to the Skoda forum good to have you with us .

Thanks mate 

Welcome along!  Is that a petrol or diesel version you have?

Thanks buddy it's a 2.0 tdi 170 cr 4x4 estate elegance and I have to say I LOVE it.

 

Just getting the 18's powder coated a nice anthracite as the polished fronts were looking pretty sad.

 

One thing I did notice is a small bit of corrosion on the boot lid sill and above the rear number plate?

 

It's an Oct  2010 plate.

 

Lovely car though

I had polished 18s on Superbs before and when changing the cars after three years, the wheels weren’t looking the best.  That’s the problem with polished surface wheels.  The anthracite will really freshen the look.  The 170 is a great engine with plenty of torque on reserve!

Yea can't wait to get it back was meant to be done sat but they couldn't get the locking nuts off as they were the wrong set!

Ffs 

So looking at Monday afternoon will look like a different car with it done as the alloys really did look shabby compared to the rest of the car.

WOW they would let the car down .

Hi Stevie:-

 

Before and after pics of the wheels would be appreciated when they're finished.

 

And what colour finishes are available?

 

Cheers...Snaefell - Marown, IoM.

Will do.

 

They can do them absolutly any colour you like, right down to a textured splatter finish lol

I went for a standard anthrocite dark silver as the car is dark and wanted it to look nice and modern as lots of cars these days are going down the darker theme.

I'll post up some pics once they are done, one wheel had a slight buckle very minor but that's all sorted.

 

They will be a lot better afterwards, properly acid stripped stuffs removed then the relevant coatings and the powder coat and laquer.

 

Can't wait

They look a real quality fitment.  Skoda have come a (very) long way since the 80's.
