so it begins

Well,, as ye may remember from my Octy, l like to change the look of my cars, just to be a little differant from everyone else, and here's the start of the work on my Superb

, please let me know what ye think of it

***ncarring*** · 08-08-2005, 15:27

Rear looks OK-ish. Hate those shiny trims in the air intakes at the front. Sorry

bengie · 08-08-2005, 15:27

looks very nice mate, styled but understated

jack.salsbury · 08-08-2005, 15:27

Subtle.

Kentish · 08-08-2005, 15:34

Cant say I like it. Front looks cheap and plasticy, and the rear pipes look like toilet rolls with some foil glued to them.

Personally, the Superb is more subtle than that.

RobClubley · 08-08-2005, 16:32

I like the exhaust - but not the lower chrome thingies at the front.

You must have great looking toilet rolls in your house

***ncarring*** · 08-08-2005, 16:42

I like the exhaust, but not the splitter (don't think the carbon fibre look works on a black car - just looks like it didn't match very well, but that might be better in the flesh).

I did think the toilet rolls comment was a bit harsh

It's nice to see people wanting to make Superbs look less bland than they normally do. Subtle is all very well, but sometimes you want a little aggression too.

Who has a black car

lozgti · 08-08-2005, 17:37

Good so far.Afraid I'm in the camp with the front bit of chrome.Mind you,a solid strip might be better.

Future plans then?There have been some absolutely stunning superbs that have had some attention and popped up on Briskoda.Don't know if you have seen them?

***ncarring*** · 08-08-2005, 17:37

You, or so I thought. What colour is it, then?

Nice ar5e, shame about the face. IMHO, the front chrome thingys look like meccano. It's your car though, and if you like it -

Never seen a black one before.

He did ask what people thought, and that is what I thought. Perhaps if they were rectangular ALA the Octy vRS, then to me it would look more subtle. Perhaps they just need a little more room around the round pipes.

Fabia 12v · 08-08-2005, 23:04

I would lose the front chrome (or maybe look at posibility of fitting some spots down there??).

Rear is great.. however i wouldn't have carbon fibre, id go body coloured.

BTW really like the colour

Could have got 1 in black and had it painted, but that would have involved more work than l wanted, the carbon look is quite close to the car color and l think l did the right thing getting it, as with everything,, seeing it in the flesh and in pix is not quite the same

SJFISHER67 · 10-08-2005, 19:52

Well I like it and think it looks smart, keep seeing Superbs around and none seem customised at all. Well done!

bryan · 10-08-2005, 20:16

Hope the have the spoiler painted and fitted this weekend

, and the side window wind deflectors should be here this week also l hope, so with any luck will have pix of the finished project up early next week
