Very nice car. I had a Match for a few weeks when the Passat was in for some warranty paintwork, and was really impressed with the spec as standard

The only difference between mine and the GT (as far as I know) is the leather interior and the silver insert around the grille between the fog lights.

The givaway that your's isn't a GT (appart from the bits you mentioned and the wheels) are the rear lights. The GT has "Cherry Red" lights, as fitted to the GTI/D before LED rears came along.

Just one thing you are missing is Skoda Yeti exhaust tips. The best £24 you'll spend on your car.



Im after these yeti exhaust tips, are they available on ebay? if possible, could you link me ? Cheers in advance :)

here you go :wink:

happy days, £20 for 2, nice one, so these literally just pop on? are they safe? because a friend who drives a clio popped something similar to this onto his and while giving some beans, it blew off and hit a bus behind him lol

Rock solid mate, I've put them on mrs ginges cab and they look the b0ll0cks.

I filled the tank 300 miles ago and its just a notch or 2 from being half full, so approx 550 miles on my first full tank, i realise it takes many miles for things to run in, what did you mean when you said it took a few k for yours to loosen up? def think a remap is on the cards for its first birthday :p


I've found once the fuel gauge gets to half empty it just plummets. Its certainly not a linear gauge. Let us know what you get out of it.

By loosening up I meant it took until 10k - 15k before I seen the best MPG.

They aren't Yeti tips. The Yeti ones don't have any screws / fixings on them and aren't twin rolled like the ones on ebay. Plus the official ones from Skoda come in a twin pack.

Save yourself some money and buy official. I bought what looked like decent trims from eBay and within a month they had corroded really badly.  I then bought the Yeti tips from Skoda around 18 months ago and they are still as good as new.

How about this one here guys ?

Does this look like the real deal ?

Cheers
Yes those are the OEM ones but like i posted earlier, just walk into a Skoda dealer with the part number and buy them! They are £26.

Very nice car mate, looks identical to the GT as someoone else mentioned.  :smiley:

When you say you had to wait 4 months for your car, was that because it was a factory order?

It's always the worst when it's a factory order - the wait is unbearable!  :grin:

I don't know if it's true but my mate said that if you order a 3dr factory order it makes it a little longer as it's an uncommon combination?  :undecided:

Nevertheless, I can't wait to pick it up & but need the patience of a saint for the duration!  :grin:
