I too got the Pharaoh 3D mats for my Slavia in Apr-May of last year. They are expensive compared to GFX etc but definitely have better quality, fit & finish. Not a spec of dust gets on to the carpet nor there are issues with slippages etc. just wiping the mat with wet cloth will do for cleaning.

Also got the trumpet horn or whatever they call it last year from Tafe Access Kudlu Gate. The cost was somewhere around INR 1300 or so if I recollect correctly. PPS Skoda refused to change the horn citing warranty issues. They said for top end model they cannot change the horn as the wiring is connected to anti theft system or something like that. I don’t think the hood insulation makes a difference, I may be wrong. I don’t think it’s a must have accessory.

Picked up GFX mats from CarHatke that fit like a glove and are easy to clean.

Trumpet horn didn't come as part of the accessory pack, but I did install it a month after taking delivery. Much improved, but I still wouldn't rate it as highly as Ford's or Toyota's horns.

Would've been tempted by the puddle lamps if they were available for all 4 doors, but if I'm not mistaken, they only provide it for the front doors.

Haven't gone with the hood insulation but I can see the merit of it in the summers for dark coloured vehicles.

Got GFX mats from Amazon for our new City. Fits as if it was made in the same assembly line as that of the car
Thanks to TBHPians who directed me to it, else I may have gone with the OE ones- costly and not a such good fit.
