Has anyone changed a front spoiler/lip on a Monte Carlo? I've purchased a replacement (new part) and have a quote for a local body shop to paint it. I've asked if the quote includes fitting and they're going to let me know. It looks like 4 screws and the sides clip into the wheel arches. How hard would it be to change myself if they won't include the swapping of parts over in the quote? I've added a picture of another random Monte Carlo to highlight the part.

Thank you for the reply, it's a 2014 plate if that helps?

Hi, i was hoping someone may have some info on a issue with my wife's Fabia monte carlo drivers electric window? It randomly judders going up and down, sometimes even stops dead and you have to release the window switch and try again. The really random part is that it doesn't always happen and doesn't happen at all when using the "one shot" lower and raise window function. I inspected the door look wires earlier and soldered the heated wing mirror wire back together that had snapped. There was also a broken black and red wire which I again soldered and shrink wrapped together. On inspection off all the other wires they are fine (no exposed wire or breaks). I've searched the forums and googled it, but haven't had any joy so far.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. We've purchased a second Fabia and it's missing the screws at the bottom of the door panel (every other door has them). I'm not sure where to get the replacement screws from or even what size they are? There the number 7 screws on this diagram. Any help is massively appreciated.

Ignore... I figured it out! Had to pull the white tab upwards and then the plug came out.

Hi all, my sons full beam stopped working (I checked/replaced the bulbs and checked/replaced the fuses). I ordered a replacement part but have got stuck trying to remove the big connecting block connected to the wiper/indicator stalk. Has anyone got any advice on how you remove it please?

I used ebay before, cost about £9. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256589745933?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=B3gfEYgSSfi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ch09Lg8LQ7O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP

Thank you for the above and pre-planned is pre-warned! Can I ask where you got the repair kit from please? I think I might pick one or two up as well as we now have two of the same cars in the family now.

Thank you so much! 3 broken wires now soldered back together and heat shrink wrapped and a working passenger wing mirror!

Ah... I hadn't thought of that thank you, I'll go and have a look in a bit and will report back.

Hi all, I picked up a 2013 Skoda fabia Elegance a few weeks ago to use as my sons first car. It was a private sale and at a very good price. On inspection I noticed that the powered passenger wing mirror was not working when using the mirror adjuster on the drivers side. The drivers wing mirror works fine. I purchased anyway as its a very clean example with a full service history at a very competitive price. I figured I'd factor in the savings to fix the wing mirror. I've searched and looked at lots of posts on here and the common reason is broken cables in thr door loom. I took the door panel off this afternoon and check all the wiring in the look and all the wires are fine (no obvious breaks or Splits. I unplugged the connector into the car itself and inspected all the pins etc. I then removed all the insulation tape and inspected all of the wiring behind the door panel (through the rubber grommet) again it was all good. In anticipation I had purchased a pre-owned wing mirror from ebay and plugged it in, again it didn't work. I even swapped out the original fuse for a brand new one (just covering all bases) again it didn't work. The electric window, speaker, etc all work fine on the passenger side, it's just the mirror. My next point of call would be the actual joystick that controls the mirror, I guess there's a small chance it could be faulty? I may need to end up getting an auto electrician to have a look, but would prefer if possible to remedy myself. Has anyone else had this issue where the wires and loom appear to be fine?

Hi all, has anyone had their Fabia pull quite suddenly to the left when travelling at low speed? Almost feels like someone's trying to pull the steering wheel suddenly? The strange thing is that it doesn't always do it (even at low speed)? I'm going to drop it into my local independent garage to have a look at it. Just wanted to see if it's a common issue and if anyone else who has experienced this as well? Just incase they struggle to replicate the issue. Thanks in advance,

Thank you so much for taking the time to take pictures and too upload them. They really look like a good fit and are just what we're after. Thanks again, really appreciated 🙏

Hi, I did try the search function on here first, but couldn't find a post on it... We're looking for some seat covers for the rear seats if possible? We have a small dog and obviously want to keep the rear seats clean. Has anyone fitted any decent seat covers? I've purchased some before that look amazing in the pictures, but have turned up and are an awful fit...

Thank you! It's more as we chuck our dash cam in there, so to stop the lens getting scratched, etc.
