Thank you so much! I think this may be beyond my capabilities but I might just give it a go!! J

JT71 started following Dashboard vents
-
My cleaner has been a bit overzealous on the vents above the gearstick and has managed to damage the mechanism on both the passenger and drivers side. I've tried to check Youtube to see how easy it is to do, but can't seem to find any for the Kamiq. Could anyone offer some advice please, I think all the parts are there, they just need putting back in the right place and I need to understand how to remove from the dashboard. TIA

Good point logiclee, I had a Mk2 previously and it was a Rolls Royce compared to this. I cringe every time I drive it, and although I wouldn't say it spoils my enjoyment, the way the wheels sound when they hit a pothole makes me wonder how long they will last...... JT

Just a general observation really, regarding the ride quality and overall refinement on our Citigo SE. I drive a Mk3 vRS Octavia daily, but at the weekends tend to use SWMBO's car. It's remarkable how well the car rides, particularly for me on long runs, and I never get any complaints of discomfort from the kids in the back. In the Octavia, it's a different proposition altogether, potholes sending shockwaves through the car, and leaving me on countless occasions to jump out and check there isn't a cracked alloy! I know the two cars are incomparable, but for me it's a real feather in the Citigo's cap that a so called "City" car can work like it does in any environment. It's no rocket, but there is something I really like about sounding like you drove it like you stole it at comparatively sane speeds!

I would definitely be interested, I've been thinking about these since we took delivery in November! We are in Wigan, Lancashire. Thanks in advance.

Stick with them Dasan, they suit Race Blue far better than the Anthracite. Which dealer supplied??

Post your photos of the new Face Lift models

Thanks for the positive comments guys, really appreciated! It's a great colour when it's clean and sunny, the 'fleck' really stands out but it's a completely different look when it's filthy and dull!! -

Thanks @pist0nbr0ke I think I'll take a look. It's a half hour run for them at the max. Thanks for the info, appreciate it. JT

Hi All Has anyone used the Alloygator wheel protectors at all? I know a local firm that fits them, just wondered if anyone had any experience with them. I'm asking for a friend who's had his car three weeks and already marked the 19" Xtreme alloy. I could literally cry! Thanks in advance JT

I took a punt on the colour Mark06, its very much a Q car colour. It looks amazing in the sunshine, I'm really pleased. The build quality is also on another level as to how I remember in my Mk 2, the doors and boot shut with an Audi type clunk. Loving it so far........ -

Diesel mate. The artificial engine noise in the cabin makes it sound anything but, a friend who drives a BMW 225d couldn't believe how it sounds! Love the torque, even short shifting it's very punchy. Thought I would regret not trying the petrol but I've made the right decision for my own personal preferences. JT.
