Beware? Looks pretty tame to me.

Looks nice and clean at the moment, but I would recommed you fit a set of front mud flaps ASAP (£12 from your friendly Skoda dealer and a 10 minute job to fit)

Looks nice Hellfire.

That area looks familiar. Where abouts were those pics taken?

Very nice, perhaps I should have bought a sliver one instead of black, but then I'm only sulking as mine's currently filthy - again!

Would look even better IMHO with some clear Philips silvervision indicator bulbs instead of the default orange type.

looking really really cool!!!! like the 1st and 4th pics best angle of the front wheel is good. I agree with the other guys that the indicators are too orange should be able to get some cool blue ones from here......

Be wary of fiddling with yellow indicator bulbs. My son's BMW failed its recent MOT because the indicator bulbs showed some white. (The varnish on them had cracked with age).

BTW, nice photos and nice-looking car!

The thread title does warn us to beware but all I can see is pictures of a baby Skoda. Perhaps the warning is about getting bogged down on a muddy village green - in which case it does NOT apply to us 4X4 owners.

Yup, retail is around £12 for the front pair. They dont do a pair for the rear as the bumper is different to a regular Fabia.
