As the coding for the swiveling towbar (which was fitted on Aug 12th)  were finally supplied by Skoda and installed on Sep 3rd, I've found time and decent weather to provide this photo of my Sept 23 2.0l TSI DSG Sportline, which I purchased at the end of April 2024 with 1100 recorded miles, an Ex Skoda Management car.

Here she is after an 8 month wait. Just had her Ceramic coated. 1.5 DSG Sportline 

Can I ask the approx. cost of the ceramic coating. Thinking of getting my car coated.

Mine was a 3 year Ceramic coating and cost £450

 

Thank you, the car looks stunning.

Had this beauty for two weeks now. Absolutely love the car so far...apart from the ridiculous 19" wheels and 'rubber bands' otherwise known as tyres. I am rectifying that though as next week I will be fitting 17" alloy wheels shod with Michelin CrossClimate 2 tyres.

Very nice - as for the 'rubber bands' - I too removed them within the first few days and replaced with 16" alloys and CrossClimates - now equipped for Nottinghamshires potholes....😎

I wonder how they compare with our East Yorkshire potholes 🤔

I went up to Bridlington a few weeks ago - your East Yorkshire potholes have got a long way to go, not in the same league as ours! 😀

Here’s my 2.0 Diesel Sportline, just after its first wash after I picked it up at the end of 2021.

That's more like it - easy clean wheels too - Nice.

Couple of photos taken last night in an empty car park illuminated by  LED lamppost!, after I'd spent all day applying AutoGlym Super Resin polish followed by a coating of HD wax to protect it for the winter.

 

Wish I'd wiped the moisture off the windscreen though!

Mine is in the same state and going to have a wash this afternoon!  I note that, on mine, like yours the lower door panels seem to attract a lot more dirt than the rest of the car. (It has a Gen-3 coating)
BTW I have the OEM Brimstones on 18-inch wheels and I am looking for a good All Weather tyre. Flip-flopping between a Michelin and a Continental at the moment.

Just had wheels powder coated satin black, easier to repair. I think it looks good, what do you think?

Had my beauty for 2 weeks now and so far I’m a happy chappie 

What’s peoples opinions about the the ‘rubber band tyres’ and alloys’ Any suggestions will be grateful

Glad you like it but not a fan personally.

I'm with you on that one...   Black wheels do nothing for me and I think they look hideous but each to their own.

I appreciate they're not everyones ☕️ like most things, it's all subjective after all 😁

I think these Sagittarius alloys look great. That’s what I have on my car, looks identical to yours only I’ve kept the wheel trims on. No issues with the tyres either.

Here are a few photos of mine after being ceramic coated, end of October.
