Collected my Monte!

[Scastlevrs]

So we collected our White Monte Carlo 1.2tsi 105hp today, excellent service by Adamsons Skoda in Walmer, Kent. Car was ready built and just waiting to be shipped here, time from ordering to driving off the forecourt was 3 weeks, options are as follows:

Bluetooth (with maxidot)

Grey seats

Protective side moulding (fitted free by dealer)

The car is faultless, only done 28 miles so far and can already tell it's going to be a brilliant motor for the next 3 years. Averaged 23.6mpg today which isn't good at all, but expecting this to improve as she's run in.

However, the only concern I have is that I think she is sitting on the black Gigario Fabia Vrs alloys and not the Monte Carlo wheels? Would really appreciate if someone could confirm this for me?

All in all, very happy with the purchase! Replacing a 2002 Octavia vrs, which was fun/practical/understated, a pretty much perfect car but after 137k and 11.9 avg mpg it was time for her to go :( but as I said, very please with the little fabia!

Very nice looking

 

Yeah, a lot of 2014 Montes are rolling out with Gigaros. Probably just to use them up? 

 

I'm sure if you want to swap them for Trinitys, someone would be willing to partake. (I know I would consider it!)

Those are the correct wheels now, as they're scaling back production ready for the Mk3 coming out they're using parts up that are surplus.

There's an older thread on here where the guy ordered a Monte but was told it would be on Gigaros as Skoda were running out of Trinity alloys so were fitting vRS alloys instead.

[Scastlevrs]

Ahh thank you for the replies so quick, really appreciate it. It doesn't bother me (I think inprefer them) I just thought maybe if I have to make a claim on the warranty the dealer might turn around and say it hasn't got factory alloys and void my warranty but now I know that won't be the case and save me a call to the dealers Monday morning.

Thanks guys.

Don't worry about it, just enjoy the Monte like the rest of us do !!!

[Scastlevrs]

I will don't you worry! Turns more heads than my impreza [emoji106]

Just one more thing.......

 

Does it pull to the Left?

 

Scastlevrs

Enjoy the car. Looks very nice.

 

Bling time now.

 

[Scastlevrs]

Nope, she tracks straight and true.

Took a 130 mile drive today, what a car, so comfy and confident at motorway speeds and averaged 43.6mpg, never saw that figure in my vrs!

That'll be me!

 

Nice to see another one on those wheels.

 

After all the fuss, I much prefer them now actually.

 

Nice car too Scastlvrs by the way!

Unless its the gigario wheels that stop the pull to the left  :think:   Enjoy!!!!!!

Car looks great in black and white. I've always had good service from Adamsons. No complaints whatsoever. Slightly quirky but thats a part of the appeal!

[fabia55]

are all four wheels the same because I remember someone had a mixture of gigaro and trinity wheels fitted.

[Scastlevrs]

Yep, all four are gigaros how on earth did they manage that?
