The car was a Candy White 125TDI Saloon version with MDI and KESSY as the only 2 options. I was lucky enough to find the car I wanted in the specified colour and options that was already on a boat bound for Australia hence I didn't have to wait the 6 month+ !! I made sure it was a MY12 model since the bluetooth came standard and it also came with front parking sensors.

I didn't take a photo of the car after I got it but it looked like a standard Superb, pretty much like this

I then decided, as with all the cars I've had!, to make some changes and modify it. First of all I bought a boot lip spoiler from ebay

Tinted the windows all round and added H&R Springs 40mm with H&R Front and Rear Sway bars. This really improved the handling of the car, firmed up the ride and whilst you can feel the bumps a little more, the pro's far outweigh the negatives. Here's a few pics of the car after these mods were fitted:

Then decided to change the wheels to something a little different whilst still maintaining a standard looking feel. I choose the Passat CC wheels since in 18" and with 225/40/18 tyres and had them fitted. I think they work well with the suspension, here are some pics:

The other mods I have planned are REVO stage 1 tune which should be getting fitted next week and possibly a DSG tune. Other than that I haven't planned anything else unless I get some inspiration! This is defiantly the best car I've had and I've enjoyed it from day 1, the build quality is excellent. Also the fact that you don't seem many on the road make it even better, I've had a few people ask me what car that is.

Anyway, let me your feedback or suggestions and look forward to meeting some of you in the near future.

Romaniac...where did you purchase the rear spoiler from. Can you give me the link. My car is identical to yours only added some extras including sunroof, paddles on steering wheel, tow bar, mudflaps, MDI connection.

Thanks - I would if I could find some centrecaps that fit, I bought 2 different ones from ebay and both haven't fit. Need to get one of the wheels fixed up too after a big gutter scrape.

What's the ride like on the KW street comforts?

I just installed Bilstein B16 but i'm not really that happy with them.. might look at KW's as an alternative.

Love the clean classy look of it on the CC wheels.

Is there a big difference between the supension on the 125TDI and the 191FSI as I find mine reasonable firm as is but could do with the roll bar upgrade. I like the height of yours and the way it sat on the CC wheels. As I've only done less than 100km in mine I still need to come to terms with it. However the tinting will be happening soon.
