    DBW has that dredded lag off the line. Most modern cars suffer from this. Feels so much more responsive with the pedalbox.

    Just curious what is the difference between having a pedalbox and using the Sports mode. I tested the sports mode and the response was so much better compare to the Normal and comfort mode which you can feel the lag. I have to say I'm loving the sports mode. What benefit would the pedalbox provide if we set to sports mode?

    In sports mode it would feel just that little bit more responsive.
    But then again there's sports mode on the pedalbox.. lol this makes it even more nippy.

    I've set the pedalbox to eco mode and that itself made a big difference. Imagine the other 2 settings which are available Accessories.

    For those guys that have the boot sill protector fitted was it plastic or stainless steel ? On our order it said stainless steel but a plastic one has been fitted. Has there been a change in spec recently ?

    There are 2 types. The clear wrap is the cheaper option and is actually the better one in my opinion. It's subtle do you won't notice it's there yet provides that protection.

    Hi, yeah we got the plastic one and on our order it says (stainless steel l) when I queried them on it the whole line should read “boot will protector (stainless steel look). If you squint it does look like stainless steel, our Skoda has a chromed/polished steel boot sill protector and really that’s what I thought we were getting. That being said after the initial disappointment I got over it quickly, it doesn’t look too bad and a heck of a lot easier keeping clean then the polished one

    Update re: Rhinorack Stealthbars.
    Have driven on the freeway plenty of times with them now. Wind noise is only slightly increased for me but others don't notice it. There can be a very occasional low grade whistle if the wind catches the bars in a certain way but this has only lasted for a very short period of time.
    Very happy with them and can't wait to pop on a roof box.

    Btw ignore the filthy car.

    Hi Veew, I had a look at those when I was looking for a roof bar to mount my LED light bar and I think they were a fraction to low to allow the sunroof to open.

    If you get a chance, can you measure the clearance under the bar, close to the centre of the roof and I will open mine and see what is needed to allow the sunroof to open.

    Looking at those photos I don't think you will have clearance with the sunroof.

    You definitely can't use it with a sunroof, there is about 2cm clearance

    Thanks Veew. I couldn’t get actual clearance details when I went to buy mine, so for safety sake, I bought the higher mount Rhino Racks..

    I’m quite happy with them.

    BTW, I originally posted I did not have any wind noise with mine, BUT, with the sound system off, there is also a very slight whistle at about 80kmh and higher speeds.
