Cheers guys... ill be keeping with the stock coils as i keep the engine cover on and they give no gains

Just wondering if anyone has sourced a decent boot sill protector for a non-RS wagon? The ones on Superskoda cost heaps in postage.

TIA

Sometimes with items like these you're actually no worse off getting the OEM ones from the dealer.

I plan on putting a clear 3M vinyl on mine. Don't know how durable it'll be but at least it'll be not as noticeable

I has the 3M vinyl done to the front of my Yeti.....seems to be doing the job with no visible chips after 18K so far.
Where's that wood.

Checked with the dealer and he quoted $120! Going to have another look on fleabay and aliexp. I'm after a rigid plastic sill protector as there will be lots of kids stuff being loaded in and out of the car on a regular basis.

I think when you price up the freight on these it will work out to this price or more even for the non-OEM parts. Freight prices on bulky/long parts is expensive - particularly when shipping international.

You may be lucky and save a few $ but for this item I would just purchase from the dealer. You may be able to save $10-20 but quality and fitment are not guaranteed plus you have warranty on the local supplied items should there ever be an issue .

I installed these 6000K bulbs yesterday. Given they were less than $20 a pair delivered, I bought two sets in case they die.

I had no expectation that they would be any good however I was pleasantly surprised to find that they appear to be a very good match for the current gen OEM HIDs out there. They are definitely 'whiter' than the stock D1S globes I had (interestingly one was a Philips and one an Osram) and they give very good output.

I suspect they are probably counterfeit, but they do have Philips stickers on them with 'assembled in Germany' on them.

Colour match with the LED DRLs is now excellent. Considering the Philips Xenarc bulbs are normally about $160 a pair this is a bargain.

Note that I have the Dynamic Xenons, this is a straight bulb swap only, not an HID retrofit.

Apologies for the awful pic but the LED DRLs may even be a slightly lower colour temp than these bulbs...

I already have my Octy 3 Ambition wagon and I was quoted $200 (not fitted) by Skoda spares in Adelaide, so your price is quite a bargain.

The standard Skoda sill protector just sits on top but there is a UK manufacturer called Rearguard that makes a protector with a lip over the edge which is actually the part most susceptible to damage. Base price is 44 pounds + freight.
You get a choice of finishes including faux carbon fibre which not only looks good but is obviously the lightest one
