I think it's more the case of "man this engine is big and the engine bay is small, let's use the wheel well since we don't provide spare wheels anymore". Air filter and fuse box take up quite some space. Look. Edit: fun fact: in the engine bay you have the connection points to jump start the car (bottom right in red)

From my2016 on, it does

Keep in mind that in case you ordered the 1.6 tdi your battery will occupy the spare wheel's place.

For the exterior just minor headlights changes then, I was expecting more,it looks just like mine. They apparently focused on interior gadgets, but they should have added the new octavia amundsen, would have been cool.

If you care to do the conversion, maybe you'll find this interesting.... Spaceback 1.6 tdi 115hp. Pretty satisfied so far

Correct. The savio black and white 17" are monte carlo only

Look who's here...ciao ciko!

Nice! Finally another monte carlo!

Hard to tell frankly. Winter tires 185/60 15" are thinner but still winter tires, so compared to the 215/40 17", wider but summer, i cannot really find a difference. Then there is the cold weather in winter and consumption would be higher in any case. Add that I don't use the car daily so i wouldn't notice a difference in consumption, unless it was really big. Not the right person to answer the question, but i would say is pretty much the same consumption for me.

As far as I know, montecarlo comes with 16" with the 17" as option. The width is the same ,215, so it should have no impact on consumption. No mention of 18" rims on the papers.Compared to the 15" i use in winter, the 17" give an harsher ride due to the lower sidewalls but the car is obviously more reactive.

Not to mention the different tyre sizes on the two axles...Does belgian police go easy on that if they stop you for a control? Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

Monte carlo front spoiler and sideskirts here http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/RAPID/Bodykit/ For the rear splitter i believe you will need to change the entire bumper, doesn't look like something that can be added Sent from my Sony Xperia™ smartphone using Tapatalk
