I wondered if anyone had come across this issue? I took the car in for the charging flap actuator failing shut, and the dealership have had a moan about me “modifying the car” (splitter was fitted when car was new by an authorised bodyshop, Maxton parts were on another Skoda in the dealership window when I bought it) and saying they need to remove the splitter because it’s incorrectly fitted etc. to remove the bumper to carry out the warranty work. I don’t mind them doing all of that, I just wondered if anyone else had this issue? I’m not there to see why it’s an problem.

This same dealership also moaned about a set of sport springs on my previous Skoda on a service - a set of eibach springs that Skoda themselves sold under a Skoda part number.

Typo

if fitted incorrectly, yes the front splitter will cover up 4x torx screws, two on each side, that connects the front bumper to the front of the wheel arch liner.

this will impact the ability to remove the bumper.

the front wheel arch liner goes all the way forward to inside the front bumper.

when i fitted my Rieger front splitter, i had to trim the splitter, slightly, to ensure those particular torx screws could still b inserted and removed.

i don't have a picture of how it looks, but u can see on the pic below of the wheel arch liner, showing the 2x holes up front which lines up with the front bumper.

as for the springs - they're just having a whinge. they need to grow up, or u need to find urself a new dealership.

Massively helpful thank you! I’m guessing these got covered somehow when the bodyshop fitted it, hopefully it stays intact :-/
