It needs chrome exhaust trims. In fact I'm surprised they're not there. They are only about £25 from the dealers.

They're on the mod list, which looks like this:

Rear bumper protector - Bought and in post
Gen Yeti mat set - Bought and arrived today
Witter detachable tow bar and electrics _ Being fitted tomorrow morning
Matt black grill surround wrap
Silver mirror caps to match rails and bumper trims
Chrome exhaust trims
MDI Ipod interface kit
Shark Performance Remap to 175bhp

Popped down to Phil Taylor Towbars in Horndean this morning to get a Witter detachable and dash to boot wiring loom fitted. Including cutting the bumper, fitting the hatch, running the loom, fitting the bar and coding the car it took a mind boggling 50 mins!

I then took it to visit it's stable mate.

400 miles completed this weekend already as I took it up to Rockingham Motor Speedway as a spannerman for a mate running in the Max5 Racing Championship. He got 1st in class in both races.

Fitted a rear bumper protector and gave it a clean tonight. First proper work trip in it tomorrow being a 400 mile round trip to Sheffield for a meeting.

Yeah I know. I thought they were having a laugh but the more I searched Autotrader, eBay and the Skoda used car site I found the 4x4 diesel high spec ones command a real premium, you can pick up the petrol 2WD ones for about half the price.
