Ah but you see it's cheaper to remove that dial.

I just noticed there are no aluminum sill trims on the rear door sills on my RS... Is this normal?

Anyone interested in a 'Keep Calm & Drive A Skoda' T-Shirt, these can be purchased from here https://www.printo.com.au/index.php/...esult/?q=skoda. $25 incl postage. I have the black one but available in 6 colours.

Yep. I ended up ordering the rear set from Superskoda during their 20% sales.

I bought the rear sills from SuperSkoda as well, very easy to install (double sided tape) and enhance the look of the car, protect the paint from scuffing too.

What did you do to your Octavia today?

I just realised what you are on about, the rear door sills. It's weird we don't get them, not sure if the UK does, as Skoda actually do make them. I have a nice scratch in our 2008 RS from my kids as there is nothing there at all, not even plastic ones. Really odd when you think about it.

The canton I heard in the demo car sounds better than mine. I think my sub might be faulty it has almost no kick at all, and changing sub volume doesn't appear to change it at all

Mine does the exact same thing! Did you get it sorted?

Haven't had a chance to take to a dealer yet...

Thinking of ordering these myself (as well as the ice scraper)... One question about be pic... What's the silver/light colored strip on the right hand edge? Is that just a reflection off a tapered edge of the black part or is it something else?

Just the reflection mate
