What have you done to your Superb III today?

[Roberto280]

Noticed a few of the wheel nut caps were working their way out, pushed them all back in, but too late, had one victim.

 

But replaced yesterday after a trip to the dealer, also ordered a touch up pen, few annoying chips on the front end.

Not strictly today, but over the weekend I fitted an OEM removable towbar and a reversing camera......a good weekends work.

Though I had spent ~3 years without losing any of them, I noticed that at least 1/4 of them were loose, while cleaning my winter wheels with a pressure washer before switching to summer wheels... 3 of them even suddenly popped out... Probably scared by the pressure washer... 

 

I've got bored. I bought the few missing caps and then removed and stored all of them in the spare wheel well... Now, they can't escape!

Having seen the cost of a couple of OE ones after a wheel bolt was nicked (I know…. seriously?) I bought a set of Chinese copies on the bay for £6 including a removal tool and they’re actually pretty good and a nicer colour than the originals too; I’ll see what they’re like after 6 months.

New wheels for my steel grey superb, love these new wheels

Badges finally arrived. Think they look great. Had some reservations but much better than the original and the full black I think. 

Thanks to @CB_4x4 for the help with the fitment guidance. 👍

Kopacek. Postage was steep  but they were dispatched the next day and we're sat for about 17days in customs. But worth the wait and the price. Genuine badges and paint is spot on.

Love the all black grill ...hmmm

What are your rim specs please?  And no spacers on the rear?

[Wazza99]

No spacers on the rear no, I am debating it

Nice job and it will work well on the Sportline Plus black/Velvet red combination.

 

Has anyone removed the S K O D A from a Superb III and replaced the lettering with the genuine emblem?

 

Obviously, there is no recess for the badge to sit in and I don't know if the recessed area is flat (the boot lid itself has a slight curve to it) but it might be worth a punt....

Thinking about doing that myself but, as you say, no recess for the badge - might look naff........

I removed the S    K    O    D    A, Superb and IV badges from mine, as I much prefer the clean look

I think you may need to break 2 or 3 centering pins from the emblem back before sticking it onto the bodywork.

To be confirmed...

Thanks for the thoughts.

 

Personally, I don't mind the Superb and iV badges but the colour-coordinated emblems (front and rear) from SuperSkoda would work well, I reckon.

 

Copied re the locating/centering pins - might be time for a bit of the sanding disc do remove those and possibly tweak the contact edge to take into account more or less curvature of the boot lid. 

 

I fear a SuperSkoda shop happening soon. Again.....!

Front and rear colour-coordinated badges ordered from SuperSkoda (Kopacek) - it has to be done. And I had dispatch notification within the hour.

I was deeply impressed with their service AND product.

 

Don't forget the line-up pins are sacrificial, and collapse inside the badges as you push firmly home.
