'Modded' Vrs at dealership

[silvervrs]

i saw a 'rallied up' fabia vrs at a dealers today with a skoda motorsport paint job and different rear lights, if i was to do this myself surly skoda would turn round and say "different rear lights + paint sir, that a modification and now you warranty is void!"

By trying to sell a car in this way its surely promting the modding/rally potentials of the car and many buyers would think of making changes to their own car, but after reading many posts on the forum, skoda are dead against any sort of mod and are deklaring the warranty null and void at any chance they can.

double standards!

It is Skodas car and was at my last dealership. All the mods are available are approved and available from your dealer (aside from the rear lights iirc).

Im not liking the look of that!

I aren't too keen tbh.!:thumbdwn:

It may appeal to some people though!

Yes it looks like that, it must be going around dealers, but does anyone agree with my point that its ok for skoda to fit modified rear lights, but if you did fit rears lights or modded the suspension, remap and so on, they would not hesitate in kicking up a stink and try to get out of any warranty work.

I mean i remember reading about a dealer saying a remap caused a seat to creak and go loose on it s runners due to the hard excelleration, well come on thats crazy!

They are pretty nasty rear lights to be honest though aren't they.

Approved stuff is ok to fit, maybe the lights are approved.

Bit different though isn't it...Skoda (who are doing the work to modify it with their own permission) are then warrantying the work they've done. Which is a bit different from a punter going and getting a cheapy remap and destroying their engine and then expecting Skoda (who didn't perform, permit or approve the work) to foot the bill under warranty...

ooo what Modds can be done then if a skoda dealer does the modding

I wouldn't mind getting a authourised dealer to mod my car if it keeps it in warranty

[Tech1e]

They can mod it if the bits are approved.

But if they aint then its on the dealers back to cover any work done.

is their any "skoda" approved lowering springs for my TDI that a dealer can fit?

I was fortunate enough to get a ride in a couple of very quick Skodas last night:) (I wont mention whose, in case the
