Fabia Monte Carlo rallyflap kit update

[The Plumber]

Moving forward with the project to find rallyflaps for the Fabia Monte Carlo (ours yet to be delivered), as obviously the moulded Skoda ones don't work.

Now have a trial fit set; one front and one rear. These are non road going pvc rather than the production material of Kaylan.

Intend to try them out on our Elegance at the weekend but I could really do with putting them up against a real Monte Carlo to check the brackets work with the arch mouldings; any one my way that could help :wonder:

Thanks again YorkshirePudding for going over for the initial measure up

Regards,

TP

looking forward to the pics of them fitted!

[YorkshirePudding]

No problem,

[washdog]

Lets hope they fit good .. So back of car might keep a bit cleaner ..!!

[Peter-B]

Is it just me that thinks rally flaps are a little on the chavvy boy racer side?!

[silver1011]

Yep, think I'd rather spend another 30 seconds giving the boot lid a second wipe with the sponge

[Steevie Wonder]

Is anyone going down the route of OEM looking flaps rather than the 'in your face' rally ones?? I thought that was the original intention, seems to have gone all wannabe WRC.....

Well, the Monte has been described in these pages as a Chav wannabe VRS, so I may as well go the whole hog and fit rally mudflaps - if it's possible to get a set once the initial ones are made for the plumber.

It would save me screenwash and rear vis, or the need to wash it daily (which I obviously don't do).

[Jabozuma]

I do not think it is going to make it "chavvy", good project, especially you seem to be making them yourself!

I want mud flaps as me ususal commute is muddy ..

I looked at Sparco ones and OEM Fabia ones but have not made a decision yet.

Not making them myself but working with a company that specialises in such equipment, albit their on the other side of the country to me, hence Yorkshire Pudding helping out; he's a lot closer to the company.

Going down this route as the moulded Skoda ones don't fit and besides the obvious spray, I'm concerned by the amount of stones that get thrown up from the broken road surfaces round here; especially in the winter.

Had a go fitting the rear trial rallyflap this afternoon; brackets may need a little rework but to be expected, otherwise I think the arrangement could work well.

Need to get the Monte however to confirm final trial fiitting. Front I hope to get to work on tomorrow.

Oh forgot to say the red is only for the trial flap, more discrete black will be production available, unless you want a more vivid colour of course.

Now had a go at the front, again a little tweaking needed but OK.

hi looking good think ill go with the black keep us posted thanksfor the pics/updates

[seboni121]

Plumber they should work really well, the oem ones ain't wide or long enough to do the job, the rally type are designed to stop the s4i73 off the road

[Jabozuma]

From the design point of view I'd make them a bit more "rounded" at the edges.

I'd also like to see a thin pin stripe red line countouring the chassis, caliper red on black plastick and you have my business Sir

[The Plumber]

Obviously I now have the Monte so further trial fitting has taken place;

Hope those who have expressed an interest will find them satisfactory.

Have sent the images to the company and the findings of my trial fitting process and will await their reply once they have the kit back to look at.

Any news on these yet? I'm fed up with cleaning the wife's car!!

[MisterS3]

In for updates

[RachelNorfolk]

Looks good - might be interested...

[DIZZY3]

I believe that they are still in development.

[sharkrider]

would like some for our citygo in black

[The Plumber]

Supplier has been in touch to let me know their back following Christmas and starting on developing a production ready kit but no lead time given on this; therefore further updates to follow.

[Louis F]

I wouldn't mind a set for my Monte. I'll keep an eye out for updates.

[washdog]

Same here ... For my monte...

[RachelNorfolk]

Would they also fit a VRS?
