Hi all, just wondered if anyone on here had one of these fitted to their car...

I've seen a few Octavia VRS's with the 'bottom bar' of the bumper blacked out and thought it looked really cool but wasn't sure how people were doing it. I initially thought it was just a piece of black vinyl wrap or something, I didn't realise you could actually buy a specific part as above. I'd be interested to hear from anyone that's got one as to what they think of the quality and fit of them etc? I don't really like the idea of gluing it on as it suggests, just incase I want to take it off when I come to sell the car maybe. Has anyone managed to fit one in a different way?

 

I've just done a quick photoshop and I think it would look pretty good 😎...

Can't spell

Can't see the point of spending £50 on a plastic cover. I'd buy £10 of vinyl wrap from eBay and stick is on. No one is going to know the difference and it'll be easier to remove come sale time too.

Definite improvement to the looks. 

 

Please buy one, install then report back 👍😁

 

I'd rather the cover over a sticker bodge job... 

Cheers guys, interesting opposites of opinion already 😊 I guess the other option I didn't think of was plasti-dip. I don't think that would be very durable for stone chips etc though down there

Carbon vinyl wrap gets my vote for under £10 which would look smart on WA66 ZFX and some left to wrap the mirrors?

This was my thought when I bought one too 👍. It's been great, and to be honest I'd have only ruined the job doing it myself anyway.

 

This took 7 minutes to fit, with all the adhesive and everything included in the price.

Hi Ads, do you have any pics of yours fitted to the car please by any chance?

 

Thanks 😊

Only the miniscule one in my profile pic I'm afraid, but it's basically the same as your mock-up 👍😎. In my view, it really improves the look of the front - especially for lighter coloured cars like white or grey.

Aw no worries. Yeah I think it definitely improves the look also! Might have to just go for it 😁

I think it's a good shout. Sure, the pricing can seem high (generally for a plastic cover) - but actually it's a high quality part, it looks great, and reduces the amount of custom effort that might otherwise be involved. It's also really easy to fit and protects the lower lip from scuffs, grit rash etc.

 

SuperSkoda / Kopacek have typically been great whenever I've used them. FYI, I might just watch out for potential unexpected import/customs fees - although I think typically they've been alright for most forum members so far.

I have ordered from SuperSkoda / Kopacek a lot of times and they have been faultless I have to say. I tried to order that part lastnight though and it said the weight exceeds the limit for all delivery options available and to contact them 😒 I can see from the item page that it 'only' weighs 2kg and I've ordered the heavy duty rubber mats from them with no problem in the past and they weighed an absolute tonne! So not sure what's going on there 🧐
