Hello!! Does anyone has any idea if the rear plastic diffuser from Kodiak RS fits the Sportline bumper. From the Picture they are looking identical. I have a Kodiak Sportline on order and I want to put some real exhaust tips, instead of the factory fake one. But I want to make it as OEM as possible . Did anyone made this modification?

Or if they are not compatible, is there any other solution? I tried to find some useful information online but with no help. I didn't find anything. Tried also with chatgbt, not very helpful ☹️

Thank you!

Not sure, but for what it might cost, can you order a VRS instead? IMHO it could be worth it for the higher spec anyway. I can only think that you could run into warranty and insurance issues. If your Sportline is a 2.0 TSI, the upgrade to a VRS could be worth considering.

Maybe it s about a diesel, which is different situation than a tsi....

Do you have any examples of premium increases? Eg. I pay £500pa for a 2025 Kodiaq Sportline 2.0 TSI, so how much would that increase if I had the ECU chipped to say, 250bhp? Would a stock VRS be cheaper to insure as it's not modified?

For those who are interested, I made the modification and it didn't costs that much and it was made at the dealer, so no warranty issues. The investment was much smaller than the difference between VRS and Sportline, as some colleagues suggested. Much much smaller....You don't need to change the bumper. When I ordered my Kodiaq I asked for offers for both models and the price difference was more than 6-7k for the same configuration, all options checked. I had Octavia RS before, 310hp, but I am very happy with the Kodiaq as it is - 204hp, enough for me, I'm getting old...

Only for those interested, for the rest, just skip the post. But I thought there are others like me, at least to let them know it's possible. (made also the exhaust pipe to the exhaust tip). Also the virtual pedal works perfect.
