Skoda Bournemouth have accessed this forum, changed their decision and today fitted the rear Montecarlo Estate mudflaps. Phew! So thanks to Forum contributors with same vehicle for posting pictures etc. which had the desired effect, and indeed the Skoda dealer. The car also now has colour-coordinated side protectors, rubber mats inc. boot & a bumper protector fitted. The car is finally properly equipped for its first big challenge, Bournemouth Tesco Extra shoppers car park!

Thanks for all the helpful replies. My local Skoda dealer is however sticking to the line that the Rear Mud Flaps Estate, Code: 6V9075101, are not compatible with the Mk 3 Fabia Montecarlo Estate. That is apparently the official Skoda position according to them. Frustrating, especially if you do a lot of miles on muddy back roads in Dorset. I have sent to the dealer photos & comments from this forum, but so far to no avail! Frustrating as I paid for the Protection Pack to be fitted. If you have had these rear mudflaps fitted to your Mk 3 Montecarlo Estate by a Skoda dealer, would be interested if you could forward their details so my garage can get in contact.

Daz1972 can you let me know which Skoda Dealer fitted your MC estate Mk3 rear mud flaps. Dealer in Bournemouth won't play ball. Thanks very much. Gerry

Puncture on 2 week old car. Very difficult to source the same 215/40 R17 87H tyre fitted to Montecarlo Estate. Skoda quoted 1 month lead time. Luckily carry spacesaver. Cannot fit rear mudflaps, apparently different rear bumper on MC to standard model. Bizarre that cruise control, electric rear windows, auto dip headlights and auto wipers deleted on the top model compared to SE-L or available as a cost option. Side protector strips are £250 fitted, which is harsh. Miss rear camera of previous car. The car itself is a joy to drive, and has a lot of usable space for a smallish car. First Skoda in the family, and so far very pleased apart from above "niggles"
