Not so Keen on Skoda Grille

[MattyM]

Lol, more colours than I’ve had birthdays! Well. It quite,but close. 🤪

Talk about going from one extreme to the other, some of those colours are questionable at best .... I think I’d love to get this one. It won’t date....as already looks 30 years old

I don’t mind either of the Skoda greys but I have a grey car now and was looking to mix it up a bit, sadly Skoda's colour options here don’t exactly excite if your looking beyond black, grey or white in a non sport line variant 😫!

Even NZ gets more colour options than us!

unlike Skoda AU, Skoda NZ is controlled and managed by an importer. hence they get lots of goodies/options.
wheras Skoda AU is micro-managed and suffocated by VW AU. hence in the best interest of VW sales, AU customers don't get the fancy bells and whistles.

if u go with the Sportline version here, u'll get two extra color choices!! velvet red and dragon green!!

i wanted Red with the 19" Supernova wheels, but i couldn't get that with the 162......so business grey it was
i got my roof wrapped in gloss black - it goes really well with the business grey

So that’s how it works, makes sense. Don’t like it, but makes sense! I don’t deny my Kiwi mates their bells and whistles, but they are normally the ones with the limitations!

I must admit either Business or Quartz grey looks pretty good on the Superb, so if I can’t get Lava Blue it will fall back on one of those. Don’t think I can justify the $$$ on upgrading to the Sportline purely for colour options lol

And love what you’ve done to your baby, the black roof, and car in general looks great...I’ve also seen the vinyl wrap done with a sunroof and that’s looks great also!

since i've got it, i've:-
- changed the rear diffusor to a Sportline version


- got "Superb" badges for the front qtr panel


- wrapped the roof gloss black
- got Superb "teeth" for the front lower grille


- currently doing a "top secret" project that will b revealed soon!!! lol


i'm tempted to:-
- lower it
- get an ecu tune
- get a dsg tune (will defintely do this one sometime next year)

Wow you’ve been busy!

A quick side question, are the steering wheel and stalk controls backlit at all?

Thanks!

And you’ll also need to look out for the option to upgrade your external mirror 'entry' lights so they include with ether Skoda logo or 'Superb' name when lit
Seen it on the Karoq (name) and logo on a Peugeot 3008... it’s the small things eh!
