Andrew's Monte Carlo

Featured Replies

So I've had my monte for a while now and theres a couple of things always bugged me about it so finally decided to start changing them. First of all ill start with what i did most recently. I purchased a MKII Fabia vRS back box from NathsvRS to fit to my monte. Had to cut off the existing backbox with a hacksaw post-138255-0-45974000-1462042598_thumb.jpg post-138255-0-51297500-1462042774_thumb.jpg Old backbox vs New, its a perfect swap overpost-138255-0-16078100-1462042844_thumb.jpg Had to cut the bumper so made a template with some masking tape. This bit you can only do once so anyone planning on doing it tale as much time as you need marking out the cut and you won't go wrongpost-138255-0-20151000-1462042943_thumb.jpg The finished product, should've came like this from the factory to be honest

Looking good mate, glad you like it :thumbup:  However i have to disagree with the part where you say it should've come like that from factory, it's bad enough there's not much difference as it is between the VRS and Monte Carlo :giggle:

Changed the interior lights to LED along with the number plate lights. Also have Cree sidelights and Phillips White vision but really liking the look of Mtecs that I've seen on here post-138255-0-40400500-1462188191_thumb.jpgpost-138255-0-13486600-1462188204_thumb.jpgpost-138255-0-16561000-1462188221_thumb.jpg

I've sent and got some new bilstein shock absorbers so going to fit them near the end of June, wanted to get the eibach pro kit as well but my insurance wouldn't let me because I'm under 25 also going to paint the rear drums satin black and the front callipers red
