Never really seen the point in modifying cars, if you want to drive around in a car that looks like a vRS then buy one. I know many like doing this but it's just a personal opinion. One question is how does this alter your warranty and/or insurance?

It was mentioned partly tongue in cheek as I think the price if the part shown is not far short of highway robbery!

At today's exchange rate it works out at £68.30 which isn't that much and hardly highway robbery in my view. It's not something I would consider but if someone wanted to then it's quite cheap for original parts. I find it odd that someone who has wasted £1,000's on changing their cars in recent years finds £68 highway robbery.

Sorry Colin, it wasn't a dig at you personallyNo probs Foxtrot, I didn't take it personally
& I am not into mods either, not even detailing which I think is a waste of money with British roads and weather and I could have worded it allot better and you are right about earning money and spending it how you want.

The point I was trying to make is that in the whole scheme of things it's not much money and if it makes the owner happier about their car it's money well spent. I think I stated on either this thread or others that I'm not keen on car modifications, probably as I have seen so many bad ones over the years, for simple things like this I can understand it.

The one thing I think let's the Kodiaq down is the styling of the back end of the Edition and below, the Sportline and vRS look allot better. I really dislike the backend of my Edition hence why I have a Sportline on order (its on a hire contract so I guess I'm wasting money myself as I will never own anything). Due to how I am financing my cars I cannot modify them anyway as they are not mine to modify.

Now fitted, from Superskoda. Really breaks up that plain rear end.
Suggest fitting the reflector to the black moulding before fitting in place.
I levered existing corner reflectors out and broke them, to save having to get behind to the clips. New corner reflectors match the refector bar.
Also fitted dummy exhaust trims from Superskoda to break up large expanse of black plastic bumper.

Would be good seeing an image of the whole of the car from the rear so we can see it in its entirety, difficult to tell if I like it from close up. Not convinced by the exhausts to be honest but more than happy to be out voted by the masses. That said I'm a little bias as I'm not a fan of car mods so difficult to please.

Totally agree.
